Spring Purple Cards

15 April, 2016 - Cards, Enjoying Outdoors

Hello Maja Friends.

I enjoy the Spring days and they are my main inspiration at the moment. and today I’ve got 3 cards to share with you. They look almost lile a set.

I told it many times but I repeat it again. I adore purple and violet and I like to experiment with these colors. This time I did it again.

I made many shots and I hope that you will excuse me for that, but the only thing I wanted to showcase is how I beautiful are the papers and papercrafting process made me feel happy once again.

ok, let’s take a closer look.

I used almost the same sketch for all 3 of my cards, anyway I cahnged only some details.

I made some fussy cutting and added paper blooms.

My second card:

and lastly the third one:

It was not easy to make a full beautiful view, I like this shot most of all.

Hello dear friends. Do you like cooking? I used to do it a lot before I have chosen scrapbooking as my main hobby. Anyway, I still like to enjoy the process and mix herbs and souces, but I really want to save more time for scrapping. That is why I keep on doing quite simple food for my family.

My friend recently asked me if I could make her a cook book as she wanted to make a gift for her daughter with all of her favourite recipes she kept in many palces and scrap notes. So I decided to help her and created this recipe book called Mommy’s Recipes.

I made several dividers for the book so that they could distinct the various kind of the recipes. I took Coffee in the Arbour collection. It is my second recipe book I did with this collection, and I feel that I can not stope creating with it.

I enjoyed die cutting and using the die cut negatives. I guess it is a good idea.

The collection has some vintage beautiful pictures, the watercolor images look great, I suppose.

and the papers are so sweet and nice for creating any kind of books or mini albums

I also used the papers on my fabric cover, and made some stitching on it

here is how it looks

Happy crafting and cooking, hope that you will get a chance to do both during the week end.

Please, pay attention how sweet are the names for the papers:

Hello Maja Friends,

today I have a very special project to share with you.

Actually I prepared another creation for my blog post, but last week my Grandmother has died. She was 90 years old. And before hear death I made a huge family album for one of my friend, for her Granny who had an anniversary. They took all her photos , collected during her life and asked me to make a beautiful album and put it all those old pictures , about 200 of them.

So I didn’t plan to share this album , but I have been thinking a lot about the family and old people these days. I have a stong wish to collect all my family phots and especially of my Granny. I need to make an album for us, to keep her alive in our mind.

So that’s why I would like to share some of the pages from the album I’ve made for my friend. Not all of them, but just some . and you know what, Vintage Autumn Basics is a perfect collection if you want to find a perfect match for the pictures taken late 1890ss and teh first half of 20 century.

This is the picture that shows how large is the album . The pages inside are of 30*30 cm ( 12*12 inches)

I didn’t add many of the embellishments, such as flowers or any dimensional one, as I wanted to keep more space for tons of the photos.

But I made several dies and paper strips.

and made some fussy cutting

The pages look simple, but they show the rich and beautiful Maja papers, so vintage, dark and from those days.

Nautical Cover for a Baby Book

Hello Friends,

I am glad that the weather outside is almost like the spring, so it’s time to get ready for enjoying warm weather, especially at the seaside. I am not a lucky one , I live at the country where there is no sea. and every summer I have a wish to watch the waves and listen to the noise of it. However I enjoy making marine theme projects and here is a cover I made for a baby book.

I made a try to marry the papers and the fabric, and I guess there is quite a good match, don’t you think?

So I made some die cutting from the papers and used almost the same paper patterns as my fabric has -stars, stripes, and I really love how it has come to.

I made stitching on the fabric and on the papers, and now they look almost the same.
