Thank you to Archiscraps for the challenge....Kay

Achi Scraps May Challenge partnering with CSI

Here is the picture to inspire you on Archiscraps

It looks like something from a Fairytale or Disneyland , doesn't it?
It certainly screams girly pictures although there's nothing stopping you using boys or whatever else you like.

Now before you start have a look at this picture

It is the case file for our combined challenge at both Archiscraps and CSI.

Memory Maze Upload - Memory File and Boy Layout

What a gorgeous time of year, I love Autumn, beautiful warm days and cool nights.  

As I am currently on term break and I have been creating lots of memory files, 

one of which I will share today......

Memory File

I love Memory Files, they are great way to scrap events or memories where you have lots

 of photos that are maybe not good enough to put onto your layouts.  This file I have 
created for my son and his wife on their new home.  They will beable to look back in
years to come and see what they have achieved.

I have kept the chipboard raw for this project as it fitted in well with the colours used in 

the Memory File.  I have cut Sweet Dreams into Dreams and Sweet therefore changing the meaning for the words to suit my project.

Boy Layout  ~  FUN

Again I have taken the scissors to the chipboard and removed the cement mixer 

from the truck to suit my layout.  I have used my favourite media on the word fun 

and the truck....metallic rub ons.  I have painted the little stars with the new 

Dylusions vibrant acrylic paint.

Memory Maze Upload

For this upload I have created a card and layout.  I have inked the raw chipboard and embossed it with one layer of clear embossing powder to give it the effect I wanted.

Just B You Title

I have used three different techniques on this piece of chipboard.

1. JUST has been inked, then I have added glossy accents which has been dried with the heat gun to give it a distressed effect.
2. B has been painted, then I have again added glossy accents which has been dried with the heat gun and I have added some clear bling.
3. YOU has been covered with Washi Tape.
