Hello Maja Friends,

Few days ago it was raining and it was a good chance to spend time creating the cards.

To create the cards I used my favorite color combo, the papers from Crea Die collection

I used only one paper sheet but mixed it backside several times

I die cut it, dry embossed and embellished with beautiful Petaloo flowers

Hello Maja Friends,

for my today’s post I created 2 Layouts. Initially I planned to make only one, but you may know that sometimes when we our creative mind starts thinking it’s difficult to stop it. So I followed it and this is what I’ve reached.

The first one has no mixed media layers. I’ve only put several layers of paper and die cuts together.

I used the sentiment for my Lo, and I think that this little mistake make it too cute for the kid’s project.

Before I made this Layout, I’ve started with other background, I kept all the elements mostly.

I started with the paper, you can check it in my video clip.

and only then I added few paint drops.

I like these quilt patterns, that I made with Spellbinders dies.

and those torn circles look great for the boy layouts, don’t they?

Wedding_Gift_card_by_Elena_Olinevich_MajaDesign5

Yes, it’s not easy to create only one card. So I’ve got used to make several at once

Wedding_Gift_card_by_Elena_Olinevich_MajaDesign1

I played with the plaid background pattern and then using almost the same papers and the same dies made 3 cards

Hello Maja Fans, last month of summer is officially here, one of my favorite month of the year.
This summer I made a lot of wedding projects and today I want to share an Anniversary Wedding Album I ‘ve made recently
Wedding_Album_Vintage_Romance

I made quite an easy and simple mini album , it’s size is A4 and as usual  I made the fabric cover for it with stitching

Wedding_Album_Vintage_Romance_a

When you want to keep your mini simple all you need to do is to grab beautiful papers, a few flowers and several elegant dies

Wedding_Album_Vintage_Romance1

I followed all the instructions I ‘ve mentioned above and played only with a simple color palette – pale blue, gold, beige brown and some mauve shades.

Wedding_Album_Vintage_Romance2

It was quite easy to do, as the paper patterns are really amazing from the Vintage Romance collection

Wedding_Album_Vintage_Romance3

I wanted my mini to be classic and elegant.

Wedding_Album_Vintage_Romance3a

So I didn’t want to overwhelm it with many of the embellishments or even paper layers

Wedding_Album_Vintage_Romance4

Modest and shabby

Wedding_Album_Vintage_Romance6

Some fussy cutting was made to add the embellishments instead of using the flowers

Hello Maja Friends.

I’ve got a trio of shabby cards I made from the Sofiero collection. I know I made so many projects recently but I still can not stop playing with it.

Anniversary_Shabby_Card_Maja_Design_By_Elena_Olinevich4

This time I decided to try to use the pictures of beautiful ladies that go on a separate Cards sheet.

Moreover I haven’t made something shabby for a while, so I took some of my fav lace and doily lace so I added them to my cards alongside with stitching on them.

I like using any fabric on my cards, and white lace and crochet work really great for shabby style.

Anniversary_Shabby_Card_Maja_Design_By_Elena_Olinevich2

I also added the flowers. torn layers

The only thing I did different – I used alternatively various flowers for all the cards
