Memory Maze Share

I am playing catch up with my Memory Maze layouts, so grab a cuppa and scroll through the beautiful layouts that I have created with some of the most amazing chipboard I have ever had the privilege of working with.

November

Adore

Me and Nanook, my first Alaskan Malamute who stole my heart. Quiet a few pieces of Memory Maze chipboard used on this layout. For the full description head on over to the Memory Maze Blog.

Beauty

My two girls - so hard getting a nice photo of them together. I used some lovely boarders and frames from the Memory Maze collection and added a touch of Heidi Swapp Mist, which complimented the chipboard so nicely.

Cute but Dangerous

A photo of the girls taken at one of the Theme Parks on the Gold Coast. I just loved the little Panda Chipboard, there are so many way to decorate it, but for this layout I used the simple technique of black ink and backed it onto white cardstock.

Daddy Loves This Girl

Adrian and Paige in a candid moment, such a contrast between the colour of their skin, love it. For a full description on how I made this layout pop on over to the Memory Maze Blog. 

 

Pocket Pages

Well I have jumped on the band wagon and have deided to do Pocket Pages - this is my first attempt. I am going to be doing it bit differently. I want to include 12x12 pages in the album so will scrap a page and then add the pockets beside the page.

Laugh Like No-one is Watching is my 12x12 page and the pocket page is below. I love how Memory Maze Designs make micro chipboard shapes that are the perfect size for the pages.

 Explore the Sea Life

 I have used the chipboard title "Sea Life" and have done a rainbow ombre effect on it with Gelatos. I really love how the Gelatos takes to the quality of the chipboard and gives a fantastic effect.

Family

Glitter time - glitter always makes me smile. For this layout I used the word title "Family" and cut up a banner to use as some arrows. Seriously I love how versatile Memory Maze chipboard is.

Love This Girl

I mixed up the chipboard for this layout - a frame, a bird cage and a hot air balloon. Such odd combination but it all works together so nicely.

Ride the Waves

A fun layout of Paige ridding on a wobble surfboard at the gardens. I just had to use the chipboard title "Ride the Waves" with this photo. Head to the Memory Maze Blog to read about how I got the two tone lettering on the title.

Told you to grab a cuppa - I had a stack of layouts to share. Please check out your local scrapbook store or you on line store to see if they sell Memory Maze products as they seriously are the best quality and the most versatile that I have used. If they don't stock them then ask the owner to get in contact with Sally from Memory Maze Designs and she would be more than willing to help them.

 

 

Monopoloy

I have been playing along with the Monopoly competition over at Scrapbooking Top50 Australia and it has been a lot of fun. I just had to play catch up after our holiday in Thailand. But I got there and have now completed all eight challenges.

Week Four -  Techniques

I landed on Sewing Street and had to use the following criteria on my layout.

Family Dress Up

I have hand stitched a boarder down the right hand side of the photo and have used paper leaves around the flowers.

Week Five - Sketches

I landed on Multi Lane. Which was to use the sketch with multi photos and twine.

Tiger Temple

Lots of twine and I stuck to the sketch.

 Week Six - Products

For this challenge I landed on Chipboard Cul-de-sac and had to use the following criteria.

Sand and Surf

I used a Memory Maze Chipboard title for my chippy, a camera resin and the mist in the background.

Week Seven - Quote Challenge

I was lucky this week and landed on Family Close, I had the perfect photo for the perfect quote.

Family Photo Op

 I hand wrote the quote under the photo and used some Memory Maze chipboard for my title and there are lots of cut out paper hearts.

Week Eight - Inspirational Pictures

 I landed on chance again this week, so I could pick which Inspirational Picture I wanted to as long as I added either a polaroid frame or photo strip. I did a photo strip last challenge so this one I used some polaroid frames from Maya Road. For the Inspirational Picture I choose Splatter Street and had to use the following criteria;

Circus

 I used the roundabout and the streets leading out from them as my inspiration and made a small ink circle and run marks leading out of them.

Well I hope you enjoyed my layouts for the Monopoly Competition. I must admit I loved doing them and had a ball playing along.



Monopoloy Catch-up

I have done two more layouts for the Top50 Scrapbooking Monopoly Game Competition. I am loving the challenges and the layouts that I am coming up with for them. So much fun.

 Roll 2 and I landed on Freestyle Freeway

Using bright colours with doodling, unusual journaling and a doily, this is what I came up with. Seriously a lot of fun free-styling.

Sisters

 

Roll 3 and I land on Chance

 The colour challenge I choose was monochromatic....and as you may have noticed I picked pink. Not hard for me to pick that as it is the main colour in my scrapping stash...with two young daughters how could it not me?

Best Day

Pop on over to the Top50 Monopoly Scrapbooking completion and check out what the other players are up to - there is some great inspiration happening.

Black with Two

Another challenge layout for this month this time at the challenge blog Black with Two. This month the challenge was to use black, gold and candy pink.  An older photo of the girls having a bit of a play together.

Sweet Family

White With One

I thought that I would do a challenge or two this month. Here is my layout for the White with One blog challenge. The challenge was white with watermelon pink.

Scrapbooking Top 50 Monopoly

Monopoly has always been one of my favourite board games so how could I not play along with the Scrapbooking Top 50 Monopoly competition? Haven't heard of it? Well just click on this link and it will take you to all the details....come and join in.   

To get your game token on the go space there is a hidden challenge - it will be sent to you via a private message once you sign up. Below is my entry to get me on the board. A layout of Bronte and a two of her friends exploring the rock walls around the creek where we last went camping....oh to be young and have adventures like this again.

GO SEE DO

My first roll of the dice and I got a five which saw me land in Glitter Lane - glitter, stars and paint were the criteria that I had to work with.

When working with stars and glitter I always think of Christmas - so I wanted a Christmas photo that wasn't too Christmasy....so this one of Bronte with her snacks for Santa and the Reindeer was perfect.

Snacks

 

Now I have to wait for my turn to roll the dice again and see what my next challenge will be.

In Top Shape October Cybercrop ....

Pop on over to the blog and check out what the other Design Team girls came up with using their shapes.

October About a Girl Challege.

October is here and it brings the first challenge for About A Girl Blog which is to scrap fall......or as we say here in Australia Autumn. I had this old photo of Bronte that I had laying around that I just had to use - A great shot of her admiring the flame trees in the park close to our house in Western Australia.

Autumn in Perth

Now I know you all have some photos of Autumn laying around so pull them out and get them scrapped.

Memory Maze

I have been using the ever delish Memory Maze products again...I just can't get enough of the wonderful designed chipboard. Here are the layouts that I did for my mid September reveal on the Memory Maze blog....pop on over for a more detailed blog post. Looking at my four layouts all together like this I realise that I truly am an eclectic scrapbooker. LOL

Hi

You and Me

Mid September Challenge

It's the Mid September Challenge at About A Girl Blog and this time we have to use lots of flowers. Simple for me as I love flowers and they go so well with my daughters.....but seeing as I scrapped Adrian and his Groomsmen for my last challenge I decided I wanted to do me and my Bridesmaids.

Lovely

I had a heap of fun with masks and misting with this layout. I also added the finishing touches with some Memory Maze scrolls that I embossed black.
