My Home in Pink

Hello Everyone 🙂

Today it is Sunday, which means it’s my turn, Silje Kristin to inspire you with a new project. My new project is made with the new collection to Maja Design, Vintage Romance <3 And Guess what? I Love everything aboute this collection, the colors and the patterns are just beautiful <3

My project this Sunday are a few letters, which for several years has stood and just dusted down on a shelf. My HOME letters have a new life, using some of the pink sheets that can be found in the new collection.

The new collection to Maja Design, consists of 24 sheets, pluss a package with the same sheets in 6×6. Here you will find sheets in pink, blue, green, gray and brown tones. Even though this collection is calles Vintage Romance, you can use them to more than just romatic projects, whatever you want.

Vintage-Romance-P

What I have done is that I have decorated one and one letter with the pattern sheets. On the front and the back, I’ve used the sheets that are 6×6, but on the side I’ve used  the same sheets, only 12×12.

Atop on the letters I have used embossing powder from Stampendous – Aged Rose, to get an extra effect on the letters. All the edges are inkt with Distress Ink Ground Espresso.

All the letters are decorated with the same flowers, straw and leaves in Bronze. The flowers are from Wild Orchids and Papirdesign. On The big white flowers, I have used embossing powder in white and gold, and bronze. On the leaves I used Stampendous – Shabby Pink, one embossing powder that I’m going to use alot.

On one of the letter I have a big Butterfly, this is a dies from Sherry Lyn, that is easy to use.

Other details that I have used, are glass bottles, even these have received Embossing powder on the outside.

Now you have see my “new” letters <3 Maybe you have something else in your homethat you want to change and maybe this is just the inspiration you need to get started 🙂

Hello dear friends! Its Evgenia Petzer with you today and I have prepared the baby box, where the mom can keep all the little treasures of her loved one. Lots of layers and laces here, some resin pieces pearls. To get that shabby look all that combination above will work perfectly.

My youngest son’s hand also wants to get that box:)

I went with neutrals, the baby pink color and some light peach accents as well.

Goodmorning lovelies,

Wow I am so in love with the new “Vintage Romance” collection, that when I got my DT box two days back my head began to spin of ideas what to create next but first I sorted my beautiful papers. For today’s post I have 12×12 layout totally my style so it was very easy to create. Sometimes it’s hard to find flowers that will fit on my layouts because most of the time it’s slightly a different color which I don’t like. So on this layout I used handmade flowers made of the same collection! 😉

When I saw Rachelle her layout last Saturday I was totally swooned by it {she is one of my favorite artists} I totally liked the idea of the pretty gems on that particular chipboard piece beneath her picture. That I really wanted to give her credit for it thank you for the wonderful idea Rachelle xox! The chipboards I used are by Dusty Attic their designs are so pretty and delicate that it totally fir this paper collection.

This collection totally lends itself to make romantic layouts of Paris. I have been to the city of love more then once and still I don’t have pictures of that time sadly. So I used a picture of a adorable couple that I got from Pinterest “Oh how I love that site” it has the most amazing ideas and beautiful pictures.

Hey Hey and Happy Thursday!

I adore the beautiful color in this wonderful Nyhavn collection. It’s a fabulous soft pallet yet there are pops

of fantastic color that pop from the page.

A stenciled pattern adds the perfect texture and compliments the flowers and crystal pieces perfectly.

I used a metal die and Gypsy Cord fibers to add extra texture behind my photo.
