"Love" Memory Hardware Layout

 

Is this layout a show-stopper or what? Robin Shakoor does her magic with the new Memory Hardware Artisan Leather Paper, Rocquencourt Doily Lace, and La Rochelle Antique Trinkets...each adding a textural element that brings this page together beautifully!

 

 

"The new Memory Hardware collection pieces are just perfect and, it seems, that they were made especially for my vintage-inspired projects. I used the La Rochelle Antique Trinkets, along with the gorgeous golden Rocquencourt Doily Lace to create this vintage layout which features a photo of my aunt as a child."

 

"I used a Prima Paintable as my background, then I stamped a border around the page and added paint splatters using Prima’s “Spills” cling stamp.  I used shades of blue, peach, and pink to add color to my traditional, vintage palette using watercolor pencils." 

 

"One of my favorite new items are the Artisan leather papers which I used to create a mat for my photo.  These papers work beautifully in die-cutting machines and add a beautiful texture to any project." ~Robin Shakoor

"A Dream" Altered Metal Frame Phone

 

The Memory Hardware line isn't just for mini-albums! Our next two projects show how to use the wondrous pieces to decorate home decor pieces. First up is this vintage wonder by Mona Pendleton. Just wait until you see how she used each one of the pieces! Brilliant and beautiful!

 

 "Using an assortment of products from various collection, I created a dream vintage menagerie all within an Altered Metal Frame Phone. I framed one of the sweet images from the Ephemera Vintage Collectible with a beautiful Shabby Chic Treasures- Baroque Farm Resin frame, which I custom colored using a variety of Chalk Edgers. I surrounded the framed image with beautiful, vintage goodness including Memory Hardware Montpellier Apothecary Vials, Metal Embellishments, gorgeous elegant trims, along with a collage of gorgeous Prima blossoms." ~Mona Pendleton
