Good morning, dear Maja Friends, welcome to the blog today 🙂

September 30th is the Boys Day that we celebrate in Poland (although the International Boys Day is some other time). It’s not as popular as Women’s Day, but being the only woman in the house I have little choice but celebrate it 😀 And so, for this occasion I made a lyaout featuring my boys:

I chose the Denim&Friends collection because its’ my favourite and it’s the most awesome masculine collection to use for a boy page 🙂 I used a plain Monochromes paper for the background and added some stamping and a stencil pattern. Then I hand-cut some tags and banners for the photo I put in the centre:

I also stamped magnolia images onto one of the patterned papers and added some shading with Distress inks and gold acrylic paint for the centres:

Both my boys love reading, and both chose math as their major at school (why?why? 😀 ), so I added a chipboard square set and stamped book pile using the paper piecing technique:

I think the layout turned out really fine, nicely dimensional yet flat enough to go into a frame or an album. There are flowers, but “masculine” enough 🙂 What do you think?

And here’s what I used:

Maja Design papers:

Other: stamps, chipboard, stencil: Agateria; stickers: MAMBI; sequins: my stash.

That’s all for today, see you later!

 Goodmorning everyone,

I am very pleased you are here on this wonderful blog with me today. This time I am sharing another layout with you all for this layout I used the “Christmas Season” collection by Maja Design for a non Christmas layout love to do that every ones in a while. I am also very happy that I have a sewing machine again {Oh how I’ve missed that on my layouts} For this layout I went with the darker red, minty & cream shade of colors!

My Precious Baby Girl:

I am in love with the pretty laces “Renea Bouquets” offers they are very delicate & beautiful. I really like to wrinkle my papers so I did that for this layout too I will try to make a short video for you in the near future of how I do that. The background paper I stitched around the edges and I added a Finnabair stencil then I placed my cream sheet on top of that a little out of the middle. Also all the embellishments that I have used are by Renea Bouquets I think they go so well with all the Maja Design papers.

This time I left the beautiful boards just the way they are in the cream tones just like my paper and of course I used a picture of Abbey she is my muze….to finish my layout I added some art stones & some Lindy’s Stamp Gang sprays.

In the metal pins I added a piece of paper from the same collection and the glass dome was placed on top of that piece of paper with some glossy accents.

Maja Design papers used: Christmas Season – All wrapped up, Hang the Mistletoe bs & Best Time of the Year

Thank you so much for your visit today. And I sure hope that I have inspired you to take out your lovely Maja Design papers and create and have fun while doing so. Have a blessed & sunny week!

Hugs

 

Winter Pinecone Card

Hello Friends!.  Jennifer Snyder here to share a winter Holiday card with a stronger feel.  I am trying to focus on making some cards I can send to my sons who live far away in the mountains.  While they appreciate my cards, I think they would be happy with less flowers and lace – something a bit more masculine occasionally.

 

The paper I chose for this card is from Maja Design’s “Winter is Coming” Collection and coordinating Monochrome collection, “Shades of Winter”.

 

Nothing says mountain nature more than  the paper I used : The A and B sides of “Beautiful Scenery”

                          Beautiful sceneryBeautiful scenery-bs

 

Today I created two cards – one with snow and one without snow to visually show the difference. Which is your favorite? My husband prefers the snow covered pinecone while I prefer the one without snow.

The pinecone and evergreen die is from Spellbinders flora collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn.

 

Thanks for stopping here today to visit.

Good morning, dear Maja Friends, welcome to the blog today 🙂

The weather is slowly changing into dull, rainy and cool, but I’m not ready yet to leave the summer behind 😉 And so today I bring you a cheerful summer wishes card made using the very summery Tropical Garden collection:

I layered background papers, applied a stencil pattern on top and added a shaker box balloon filled with sequins, hand-cut tags and a flowers cluster including a bouquet cut out from one of the sheets:

I finished the card off with a chipboard sentiment embossed with white ep.

 

I really like the dimension the card has, though it will require making a box too 😉

Here’s what I used:

Maja Design papers:

Other: flowers: 49&Market, my stash; chipboard, stencil, embossing powder: Agateria; vintage ribbon, sequins: my stash.

That’s all for today, thank you for visiting and see you later!
