Hi Maja Fans, today I have a frame to share with you.
A couple of weeks ago I found a ugly plastic frame in a bargain store which I decided would be perfect to alter, and here is how it turned out.
I began by applying gesso to the frame, this was because it was very cheap shiny plastic and I wanted to prime the surface so my glue and paper would stick to it.
I chose the paper Vintage Autumn Basics No VI to cover it because I love the colour and pattern on this paper
I fussy cut the clocks and flowers from the Vintage Autumn Basics Papers No XVI and No II. I tucked these images amongst my flowers and embellishments.
The photo I chose to go inside the frame is of my Grandmother on her wedding day with the Parents

Hi everyone. Today I have my latest layout to share with you.
I am loving purple lately and the Enjoying Outdoors Collection is jammed pack full of the most gorgeous purple papers. Here is a layout I created with these papers.
I chose the paper Late Summer Flowers (bs) for my background, I added texture with 2 different stencils, one using texture paste mixed with purple mica an the other with white texture paste.
I treated my chipboard with white crackle paste
I used the papers Time for Reflection (bs) and Scent of Lavender to layer behind my photo. Then I cut two tags from the Tags & Journalling cards paper to tuck in. Finally I cut some purple butterfly images from the Garden Creatures paper to add to my page.
I finished the page by adding flowers, a resin frame, liquid pearls and a title coloured with white and purple embossing powder.

Hi there everyone. I have been playing with the gorgeous new collection Vintage Romance and here is a layout I made.
I chose the Passion paper as my background as I love this soft pink colour and delicate pattern. Then I added a little interest by using stencils with pink ink and then with texture paste, followed by light stamping.
To layer under my photo I cut up the papers Walk With Me and Words of Love. I also used little pieces of the Walk with Me paper to go behind the chipboard window and bird cages. Lastly I used the B side of She’s My Lady to die cut some Tim Holtz Doilies.
I used ink to colour my chipboard and added them to the page with some flowers.
Then finally I used embossing ink to stamp butterfly images onto vellum and coloured with pink embossing powder.

Hi, today I have a card to share which I have made with the new Maja Design collection Vintage Romance

I started by cutting 2 squares from the B side of He is my man paper and distressing the edges.
Then I cut a square of the Engagement paper to fit in the middle.

I cut the image from the Ephemera Cards paper and placed this in the centre of a chipboard frame

Next I used the B side of the Walk with me paper to die cut some leaf shapes.
Then I finished the card with flowers, berries, lace flowers and liquid pearls

Papers I used:
He is my Man, Engagement, Walk with me & Ephemera Cards
