<div style="text-align: center;">
Working with the Memory Maze Design team has been wonderful. This is due to the talented people on the team and the great products that Memory Maze Designs has. So here is my last post and even though it has been fun, I am feeling a bit sad that it has come to an end but I do have other exciting adventures to look forward to!<br />

I left the map as raw chipboard and used marker pens to colour in the letters and scribbled around the edge of the map to create a waters edge. The plain background was decorated using the Memory Maze mask and Distress Paint. When it dried I moved the mask slightly off the paint and sprayed again with Glimmermist in "denim," which is similar in colour to the background so it ended up with a slight watercolour effect. The distress look on the bottom of the layout was achieved by turning the mask over when I had painted the top part of the page then pushing down to press the paint and ink onto the cardstock.</div>

The swirl was misted in gold then embossed in patches with gold embossing powder. Clear Utee was embossed over the whole piece to make it nice and shiny. </div>

I love the snowflake frame with the inner frame as part of the set. As Christmas in Australia is hot I decided to make the colours I chose warm and not the cool ones normally associated with snow. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The frame was misted with Perfect Pearls Mist in Heirloom Gold then sprayed in patches over the snowflakes with Radiant Rain Mist in Persimmon and Solar gold. Small pearls were stuck in the middle of the snowflakes.</div>

Since the frame is quite elaborate I kept the embellishments simple to balance it all out. I sprayed white flowers with the same mists so they would match in perfectly.</div>

The frame was coated with Adiriondack dabber in pearl and the window in Distress Stain in black soot with Distress Stickles in gunmetal. The top part of the frame was covered in Petal Soft in polar white to make it look like snow had settled there. The snowflakes were base coated in Distress Stain in Brushed Pewter and Stickles in frosted lace were applied over the top. The Merry Christmas is already coloured so I applied Distress Stickles in clear rock candy over the top.</div>

It's how many days 'till Christmas!! I love this time of year and always take lots of photos so now I have a few Christmas albums. I have found that Memory Maze chipboard features in a lot of my layouts as it is so easy to work with and you can do so much with it.<br />
<u><span style="font-size: large;">Best Buddies</span></u><br />
As I often take series of photos I like to make double layouts to fit in all the photos. These photos are of my husband and grandson and I love the interaction they are having.<br />

This word banner is part of a set of 9 banners. I used marker pens to colour it in....quick and easy!</div>

The large lily was coloured in with a marker pen to give it a base coat of colour then painted with glitter paint. The center was embossed with embossing powder.</div>

The 2 corner pieces are from a larger set so you get lots of wonderful pieces. I embossed this with Distress embossing powder then embossed in patches with the glitter embossing powder for a rustic look.</div>

Another quick way to embellish the chipboard is to ink it in one colour and then ink the edges in a darker colour to give it a shadow effect.</div>

<u>CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Each Christmas I like to make a decoration or two for our home. I used the same base piece for each of these decorations but did a girl and a boy theme. The other chipboard pieces are not Christmas themed but were painted to fit in with the decoration colours.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The decoration on the left was base coated in Distress Stain in brushed pewter. The frame was painted in Smooch-taffy and the swirl in Smooch-grape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The decoration on the right was base coated in Distress Stain in tarnished brass. The star was made from a banner that was cut down and bent to create the star frame. It was coated with Radian Rain in spiced pumpkin. The small plaque was painted with Adirondack Acrylic dabber-snowcap. The numbers and the crown were painted with Smooch in blue and gold.</div>

I used gingerbread as inspiration for the colours in the layout and the thin cork reminded me of gingerbread.</div>

It's starting to look a lot like Christmas! In case you haven't checked lately, Memory Maze has loads of great Christmas chipboard for Scrapbooking, card making and off the page projects. Not only does the Christmas chipboard look great on your projects but you can also alter their other chipboard to make it Christmassy! I have some examples to show you today so enjoy.<br />
<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">SANTA PHOTO</span></u></strong><br />
It took awhile for my grandson not to be afraid of sitting on Santas knee and have his photo taken. Now he stops and poses whenever he sees a camera!!<br />

This wreath started out as plain chipboard and not even a Christmas piece but with a bit of green acrylic paint mixed with some PVA glue and a pile of green glitter on top and left to dry then add some stick on pearls......then WOW!...Christmas wreath. The gold doilley underneath the wreath just adds a bit of brightness to the layout.</div>

The words precious and memories were decorated the same way. I used green, dark green and red marker pens to shade the chipboard. Dimensional Magic coated on top gave the words a nice shiny finish.</div>

<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">CHRISTMAS PHOTO SHOOT</span></u></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to do a photo shoot one year( and never again!) outside in our yard for family photos for our Christmas cards.......Well between my hubby and 2 sons it was adventure! I finally had a family shot that was worth printing and decided (I still hadn't learnt my lesson yet!) to take individual shots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is my younger son who talks non stop so I just kept taking photos until I had one where he stopped for breath and smiled. It was a fun afternoon because we all spent time together decorating the tree, playing Christmas music and eating Christmas goodies. That's what I love about scrapbooking.....it keeps those memories alive.</div>

I have taken a real liking to the Memory Maze frames and they seem to have one for all occassions. It also makes a layout come together quicker. The frames can be used as one piece or cut apart to use as many different pieces. With this frame I added more pieces onto it. The more the merrier!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The square part of the frame was painted with white crackle paint and the other parts were painted using distress stain and luminare paints. </div>

To have clearer, brighter colours with the paint you can undercoat the chipboard with white gesso.</div>

I like to paint the chipboard with a brush because you can blend the colours more easily and be more exact where the paint/medium goes. The fob watch was added onto the frame.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi again and this month I'm showing a couple of layouts with lots of wonderful chipboard pieces on them. I love using the Memory Maze Designs frames and there is a large range to choose from.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><span style="font-size: large;">PIRATE PHOENIX</span></u><br />
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like most children, my grandson likes to dress up and play different characters. This pirate frame was perfect for this layout. It comes as a black piece so I left it as plain board and just decorated it with the pirate word sheet and other embellishments.<br />
<br /></div>

The background page of this layout started as a white sheet of card. I sprayed mists over a mask onto the background then turned the mask over onto the sheet again and pushed down onto the mask to let the ink seep into the card stock. It creates a negative effect to the mask imprint. The Memory Maze Designs chipboard net was painted with distress crackle paint in pocket fence. The plaque $ just kicking back title were sprayed with mists.</div>

I am still becoming use to my new Ipad so if anything looks a bit strange its probably because of that.</div>

It would be great if you could let me know so I can try and fix it. Thanks.</div>

I found my inspiration for this layout from the "White With One" challenge were "the one" is pistashio. I used the double barbwire as a frame to look like branches and not as barb wire. This photo was taken in our two boy's cubby house which was on stumps and was surrounded by gum trees.</div>

I spent yesterday finishing off layouts and photgraphing them which was difficult as my beloved camera has decided to start not woking properly! So here we go.....<br />
This challenge was from <a href="http://www.archiscraps.blogspot.com.au/">www.archiscraps.blogspot.com.au</a> and I knew which photo I was going to use as soon as I saw the challenge picture.<br />

The Memory Maze Chipboard Arch (lo185) reminded me of a stained glass window. I sprayed a piece of gloss card with Ink Potion No.9 and dripped on Tsukineko ink in teal, lavendar and marine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The arch was coated in Distress Stain in black soot and when dry it was adhered to the gloss card with Dimensional Magic. The window panes were coated with dimensional magic to give them a glossy look.</div>

The column was dabbed with tan and brown ink then distress stickles in antique linen was dragged along it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope that this brings you some inspiration too and that you are challenged to give something new a go. Maybe find some of your old embellishments and have a go at revamping them to fit in with your layout.</div>

This layout is all about my husband and myself and it celebrates the fact that we have been married for nearly 32 wonderful years!</div>

The frame was primes with gesso then when dry it was coated with red acrylic paint.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once the paint had dried I smudged the edges with dark grey ink to create a shadow around it. There is a close up in the photo below.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I stamped a swirling stamp pattern in clear ink over the painted frame and sprinkled on copper embossing powder then heated it. This allowed the red paint to show through the copper embossing. giving the frame smooth and rough textures.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the swirls I coated them in gesso then when dry I used brown ink over the top as I didn"t want the white gesso showing through the glitter. I cover the chipboard with white gesso as it makes the colour stand out better.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The dry swirl was coated with dimensional magic/crystal glaze then I sprinkled copper glitter over the top and left it overnight to dry. The excess glitter was gently shaken off then a top coat of dimensional magice was applied and left to dry. This makes for a sparkly high gloss finish.</div>

A few pearl drops were stuck around the swirl to dress it up a bit. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The love banner was simply inked and the word love coloured with Smoch ink then a couple of pearls were added for the final touch. This was then clustered together with a tag and flowers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even with all the waiting for embellishments to dry, this was a fun layout to make.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So gather up all your bits and pieces and have a go at findiing fun ways to alter your chipboard pieces.</div>

Next I sprayed it with a couple of different colours of mist ink and dabbed on some distress stain in metallic colours. The colours you choose determine the colour of the piece so you can do this to match in with your photos. When it was all dry I inserted some eyelets and adhere some metal pieces and cogs using Dinemsional Magic. </div>

This border piece from Memory Maze Designs can be used as one whole piece or cut up to make corner or smaller sections.</div>

This layout is all aabout my husband David. I printed out a large photo (A5 size) because at times he is larger than life. He loves his shed and invents, designs and makes many things there. He is an electrician by trade so the ladder and lightbulb fitted this project to a tee!</div>

Here is my husband's second home! It is definately a boy's playground, complete with toys and his "fish fridge of fame" where all the big catch photos go...as well as beer! I wanted this layout to reflect the shiny toys as well as the grungy shed stuff. </div>

I find that Memory Maze has such a good range of chipboard for the boys( young and old alike!) and it makes it easier to embellish my layouts to create the feel that I want to convey in them.</div>

"life is what happens when you are busy making plans"....which means I haven't done as many as I would have liked.<br />

This sketch really caught my eye but I wanted to do a male layout that was a bit grungy. I took the cake colours for inspiration off the board and contrasted them with the blue like in the photos. I misted with a pearly yellow spray to reflect the gold of the jewellery.</div>

I was going through my stash (part of the pottering thing) and decided to use up some of the bits and pieces I found. I sprayed and inked pretty much everything so all the colours matched. The round gold piece near the title is a foil seal off the top of a wine bottle! Of course we had to drink it first for scrapbooking purposes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Keep well and potter on!!</div>
