I only added some flowers as the embellishments

Hello Maja Friends,
each summer I wait for the chance to see the sea. It’s a great disadvantage that I live in the country with no sea, however I do all my best to spend some time by the sea. That is why I like creating nautical albums so much.
I do love using Maja – Life by the Sea collection, it has the variety of stripes, stars and other nautical motifs to choose from.
This time I made a cascade mini album and used some of the pictures taken last summer by the Baltic Sea.
I used only paper to create my layers and die cut embellishments
I played with different patterns and skinny size, and even managed to make some fussy cutting
All of those Sealight pictures as well as the Sail boats are perfect addition to the mini.
It was fun to enjoy papercrafting and to revise that past time memories.
I left some pages almost clean and simple, as the background papers are awesome with no extra layers too.
Products used:
Life by the Sea collection
Clear Scraps Mini Album – Cascade Shape, Spellbinders Dies, My Favorite Things Dies.
Wedding Season – this is one more feature for the summer.
Normally it means more wedding cards I create during this period. And if someone asks me to make a card for a wedding, they want something that can be more than a congratulations card. So creating a envelope for a gift card or money is an option.
I guess that Sofiero collection along with Monochromes is perfect combo.
These soft shabby colors can bring a delicate feeling
I am keeping doing several cards at once, using the same elements and just mixing the colors
What I tried new – is taking the flowers from different packs, no matter how they suit, but leading them in a cheerful composition. Didn’t want to keep the white boring dominance.
It was really easy to do, as the candy pallet of Sofiero collection brings the choice for a variety.
And I have to admit that fabric tulle and organza flowers work really great there.
as well as the classic frame dies
Some finishing touches of pearls and rhinestones, and you are finished with a trio of nice cards.

Spellbinders Dies
Prima Marketing flowers and Rhinestones
Hello Maja Friends,
Few days are left before the Spring ends and the summer officially comes.
I can not believe that finally I will enjoy the outdoor activities and hope that I will have time to craft at the same time.
For today’s post I prepared 5 cards.
I have a blast working on 5 cards at once. The reason is that I love so much Life in the country collection. It seems that the summer starts and I craft only with these particular papers.
I mixed red, green and cream brown colors for my cards. They remind me about berries, trees with the leaves and the wind whisper.
I have been waited so long for this time of Season.
My cards are almost the same but they are different, as I didn’t use any similar sketch for them.
They are mostly celebration cards, I made different sentiments for them as – Congratulations, Anniversary and Birthday.
I do like to have several cards by hand for any occasion, and working on the cards at once gives me the chance to be ready for any special date.
My recipe for this kind of cards is:
few flowers, string, some dies.
Adding some craft elements can make it look more bright.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Hello Maja Friends. it’s Elena here.
I am very addicted to album making. I consider this is the best way to enjoy the paper and to showcase the beauty of it.
I have already made many of baby albums, but every time while working on the album for a boy I feel the challenge what kind of embellishments to add, as you can not fill it with the flowers only
By the way , the flowers can be used , not many , but I guess that the mother will enjoy to have them too.
But to try find those that remind you the masculine color and play more with the paper.
A good option is to add various ribbons in blue, teal, yellow.
also you can mix the Boy Dies – rocket ships, air balloons, cars and others
I have already told that Maja paper collections are versatile and you can mix the collections for every project you create.
This time I used Vintage Summer Basics as the base for my album, but I also added the paper from Vintage Spring Basics, Vintage Romance and I mixed even the Christmas papers too.
Crea Diem is a fabulous collection for any album too.
So I wanted to give you a heads up that you don’t need to follow the traditional thinking about the name of the collection. You can reveal your imagination with beautiful papers indeed.
Hope that I have managed to involve you in album making process too.
so stay tuned for more albums from me
