Best Buddies for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

My project this week for the Memory Maze Blog is a layout of  a photo from my son's 18th Birthday Party

These are his close mates that he's gone to school with 

Two from Primary School and the other was from High School which they all went too

I started of by using the  Lots of Squares Stencil with the Finnabair Graphite Texture Paste

I raised the photo up with some cardboard and glued it with the Helmar Acid free glue the rest of the chipboard I used the Helmar Tacky Craft Glue

On the Best Buddies I used Finnabair Metallique Wax in Old Silver but then went over it with Fire Ruby because the words didn't stand out enough

On all the Cogs and Pulleys, 12 x 12 All there is is Cogs for everything and the Clock Face I used the Finnabair Metallique Old Silver Wax

I love how silver it is the chipboard actually looks like metal

Picture Perfect for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

My turn on the Memory Maze Blog so make sure you stop by and check out the other Design Team members creations and see what else is happening with the latest creation of Chipboard and other awesome products or check out the Facebook page 

Today I created a frame with a picture of girl from a magazine which I fussy cut out and decorated it with a few bits and pieces from my stash just for something different

I painted the frame with black gesso then with some graphite texture paste I used the Door Wire Stencil over the background of the frame (I took the glass out and put that aside as I don't use that)

I then used some Linda's Magical Shakers - Alpine Ice Rose, Grab a Guy Gold, Cowabunga Copper and I added a little bit of the Creme Brûlée Cream from the Sweet Treat Shimmer Set but I wasn't happy with that so that got covered up

I used the 2nd largest flourish from the Flourish Corner Set and covered it with Finnabair Art Alchemy Antique Brilliance Red Amber Wax and wasn't happy with it so I then went over it with some Metallique Rose Gold Wax 

I also used the Metallique Rose Gold Wax over some of the metal embellishments

With the magazine lady I liked the way her hair was styled except there was writing in it so I went over it with some brown paint and tried to follow the way it was styled with the brown paint

Then when I was glueing her down I added a bit of tissue under her hair to give it some dimension

I glued the flourish to her hair like a tiara and added a metal embellishment and some pearls

I then added my embellishments to the corners of the frame a few metal pieces a couple of velum flowers, a flower that I have had forever and it was perfect with the rose gold flourish that I used on her hair

I gave her a drop pearl and diamond earring

When I was happy with everything I added the Colour Blast Clear Shimmer Brush Marker to her face so she has a gorgeous shimmer to her

I also added it to the vellum flowers and butterfly - it gave them a more transparent look

Beautiful Strong Woman for White with 1

Hey everyone

This page is for the White with 1 June Challenge and the colour is Space Frontier

I saw this quote and loved it

It spoke to me in so many ways

I suffer from depression and anxiety and this just says what I wish I could do everyday

I have a tattoo that says Breathe and so this reminds me to do just that

I used the Memory Maze Doily Stencil with the Finnabair Graphite Texture paste

Then over the top of that I used some tissue paper that I tore around one of the flowers and adhered that over the stencilled pattern which it then went into the grooves
I also tore up more of the tissue paper to add flowers and leaves over the paper to give it an added dimension

I used Lindy's Magical Shaker Black Forest Black watered down like a paint and randomly painted in places on the page

 The butterfly was from a sticker sheet that Kaisercraft used to sell I just used some foam to raise it up a bit then used a paint brush to roll the wings a bit to add a bit more interest to it

I also used it to paint the flowers 

I found these gorgeous feathers at a cheap shop the gold on the end is so shimmery it's a shame the photo doesn't show it

I had a plastic coaster that I cut in half and used they are so pretty they look like doilies

I added some white flowers as well because you can never have too many flowers 

I had the die cut from a Prima pack I think it was and it fit perfect with the  quote so I raised it up with some foam tape and added it to the layout

I randomly stamped with a Kaisercraft Texture Script stamp

 I then finished off with some Prima Art Stones and thats it
