2 February, 2016 - Layouts, Vintage Spring Basics

Hi, today I have a layout to share using the gorgeous Maja Designs Vintage Spring Basics Collection. I also made a video tutorial to go with this layout so I hope you enjoy it

Here is my video:

I used the 6th of March paper as my background paper, then to the 8th of April paper I ripped a diagonal piece from the bottom and distressed the top.

I cut a strip of the 4th of April paper to layer on top. I used pieces of the 4th of April and 9th of April to make a mat for my photo. I cut two strips of lace to layer under the paper strip in the middle, plus a couple of lace flowers to stick out from under my paper layers

I added colour using Gelatos in metallic blueberry and metallic grape through a stencil, plus some splashes of pale purple and blue mists.

Next I mixed heavy white gesso with light texture paste and put that through two different stencils. I mix the gesso and paste together because I want a whiter finish in the paste.

Blue fern chipboard coloured with Gelatos in metallic blueberry, metallic grape, boysenberry and elderberry

I added embellishments using flowers, chipboard, a resin frame, lace flowers and some white cheesecloth

To finish off I added some vellum butterflies and pearls

Hi Maja fans.

Today I have a layout to share with you that I made with the Vintage Autumn Basics Collection. I love these vintage collections for scrapping my vintage photos

For the Background I used the Vintage Autumn Basics papers No V and No X. I ripped the top from the No X paper, then layered the other side of the No X paper underneath. Next I glued these onto the No V paper before I added some texture with Modeling paste and a stencil.

I cut the papers No IV and No XVII into pieces to layer under my photo, I distressed all the edges and inked them with Distress ink in Vintage Photo. This is a photo of my Great Grandmother on her wedding day with my Grandmother as a girl.

I added a little colour to the papers using Gelatos in pink, peach and brown. For my title I used a chipboard title that I coloured with two colours of embossing powder.

Next I added some random stamping, then I finished the layout off by adding a generous amount of flowers and embellishments

Vintage Autumn Basics Papers Used: No X, No IV, No XVII, and No V

Thanks for joining me today, see you next time

Hi Maja friends, I’m very exited to bring you my first post on the Maja team. Today I have a layout to share that I made with a photo of a friends Son. I don’t often make “Boy” layouts and I ended up putting lots of flowers, lace and pearls on it, I went with a Green and Grey colour combo to try make it less feminine.

I started by trimming the edges off and distressing the 1946 paper from the Vintage Summer Basics collection. I layered this on to the 11th of March paper from the Vintage Spring Basics Collection, before I glued them together I cut the middle section out to use to layer under my photo. I also used the 10th of March paper as well to layer under the photo.

I added colour to the background with mists and Gelatos, with texture from using modelling paste and stencils. Once I was happy with my level of colour I glued down my paper layers, I distressed the edges of each piece first. I tucked some lace amongst my layers before I added my flowers and some metal embellishments.

I finished off by adding some pieces of chipboard and pearls.
