Castle Mini Album

24 June, 2016 - Mini albums, Nyhavn

Good Morning, Maja Friends,

How are you going to spend your summer? as for me , we have planned a trip by car to Europe and we will visit some beautiful places there. I hope I will make tons of phots to scrap during the year.

So that is why I decided to make something, that will be perfect for a trip theme. Here is my Castle Mini Album

I found a fancy chipboard mini album, castle shape in my stash. so I thought it would be a nice idea to use it finally.

My choice was for Nyhavn collection, so great for your trip and travel projects. Once I have laready made the album with it, this time I had a very interesting shape for it.

I used only paper die cuts and some chipboard pieces, I didn’t want it to be a busy one, as I am still planning to add some pages for making the notes, so it’s a kind of travel book I would say.

However I made some flaps and photo frames, to fill it with the future pictures.

I also made some stamped embellishments, so easy and fast.

and stamped on the background as well.

Hope you have liked my mini album. I also have a video clip, so if you like to check it, here it is

9 June, 2016 - Cards, Vintage Summer Basics

Write a comment

Hello Crafters,

when talking about cardmaking what paper size you prefer ?

well, as for me it is difficult to say exactly. I guess that each piece of paper is perfect for the card. However I decided to try to make almost the same cards design but mix the paper sizes of the same collection and patterned papers.

I took Vintage Summer Basics collection and picked one of my favorites papers.

I like the mix of pale pink, mauve and peach.

For my second card I used lamost the same embellishments but try to take the same paper from the 6*6 paper pad

I used the same dies, the smaller size of resin frame.

and look – it looks almost the same and absolutely different at the same time.

Can you feel the difference?

Dreams about a carefree summer

27 May, 2016 - Layouts, Life in the Country

Write a comment

Hello Maja Fans,

I am looking forward to meet the summer next week. I have been missing the warm evening spent on our terrace at the countryside.

So I looked through the shots made last summer and found this fun photo of my kids hanging on the hammock.

I used , as you might have already guessed , Life in the country collection, and chose the floral green background for the layout.
Then I made a lot of die cutting

I used just a few flowers to make it look more natural . I die cut an apple and colored it a bit with the colors used on the patterned papers

However to add more texture I put some flower soft on the chipboard pieces and die cuts

Just a few of color accents with blue, red and green and here it is

Young , wild and free.

Sometimes I wish I could come back to my childhood and spend a carefree summer.

Mother’s Day Card

Good Morning crafters.

Though Mother’s Day is over, I guess you don’t need to wait for a special date to make a greeting for your Mom.

Here is the card I made for a Mother of my Friend

I used the most frequent papers I choose from the Vintage Summer Basics Collection.

I wanted the card to be a bit vintage, a bit shabby, with red and mauve colors, with lace , ribbons and string, and of course flowers, mainly roses were something my Friend’s Mother loves.

I hope she has liked the card and the words my freind wrote inside have been the most important for her.

Baby Nautical Album

Hello Maja Friends, Elena is here.

I like doing baby projects. No paints, no flowers – I am joking. Sometimes I like to enjoy only papercrafting. It makes me feel relaxed and concentrate on atrue and initial kind of scrapbooking, I guess.

So today I am sharing an album I made for a baby, for the first `12 months. and I used absolutely not a baby collection, but one of my all time favorite – Life by the Sea.

It seems that I say this every time, no matter what collection I use, but it is true,

I made a lot of die cutting using almost the same dies for the whole album. But anyway, it has been an issue for me how to make an album without flowers, no I know – dies are the question.
