Winter is Magic Mini Album

11 November, 2016 - I Wish, Mini albums

Hello crafters, the winter is officially has come to my place, so I hope that it will give me more inspiration for Christmas and Winter projects.

and today I’ve got a mini album I made using brand new collection I wish.

I wish there would be Spring and Fall Seasons all year round, however in some cases Winter is beautiful too.

I wish I could spend all 3 months in a wooden house in the Forest, however I live in a busy city.

So my mini album is all about my small wishes and I enjoyed creating it.

I cut out some of the images, added crochet and fabric trims to make it look more cozy and soft.

I also added a rotating element, when there is some intercative things in my albums.

The paper sheet with the cards is perfect for filling your album with the images.

The snowmen are what the kids like most of all in my mini.

However I added some flowers and leaves, to make it look more festive.

I think I need to create more minis this season. and what about you, do you like making mini albums?

Hello Maja Friends,

you know how much I love creating albums, soft, shabby and floral, so I’ve got one more to share with you.

This time I took only some shots, just to show how Maja Design papers are beautiful along with flowers.

I wanted it to be delicate and to look a bit fragile

I’ve mixed 2 collactions – Vintage Spring basics and Vintage Summer basics, a perfect combination for me

I left some papers white, I guess it adds a bit of freshness to it

and the yellow, that I try to escape in my daily life, well I have to admit it looks so springy with the blue.

I really love the mauve colors the 2 collections have, I guess thay are one of my favorite and it’s quite easy to create with those shades.

However I like the pale colors my album has.

I like adding die cuts around the fututre phot in the album , it help to pop up the main image then.

Hello Maja Friends. It’s Elena here today.

All of you know how beautiful Maja Design papers are, it’s such a pleasure to embellish it with the flowers, however it’s always a challenge for me to create something for the boys – with no flowers, with no lace or ribbons. And yes, I have to confess it takes me much more time to invent what to add. The gears, arrows are too boring, what else can be used?

Ok, I tried to find new ways. First, try to experiment with die cut negative shapes

You can do several layers. Moustashes and air ballons are still my favorite die cuts while creating something for the boys, however I like adding the birthday balloons too.

The feathers are one of my all time favorite die cuts that can be easily used everywhere. Just add some glitter – and they are not so boring.

However I still like to use blue and craft colors for the boyish layouts, I know they look classy and more traditional one.

Meanwhile I still like to make the papers look vintage and torn and distressed edges work great especially when you create for the boys.

I hope that some of my ideas how to create for boys with no flowers will be useful and if you have more ideas to share , okease, you are welcome to leave the comments bellow.

Cozy Fall Cards

Hello Maja Friends, it’s Elena here today.a

Fall has come and I feel the necessity for the mature bright and dark colors. That’s why I made a couple of cards inspired by the season.

I used Fika collection – so cozy and sweet.

Purple , chocolate and green hues remind me about fogs, harvest and Indian summer.

I added some crochet lace and canvas ribbon , just a few flowers.

However to make it look more cozy I made stitching on paper layers.

So when it is chilling outside, it’s a good chance to invite your friend for a cup of tea or coffee.

Hello Maja Friends, it’s Elena here with you today.

You know that I enjoy creating albums and other stuff for the babies. However I do like when it doesn’t look too baby,that is why I am searching for dig=fferent ways how to add other embellishments , flowers ,lace and so on, so that it can be used for the baby at the same time.
