Eternity Canvas

22 January, 2016 - Canvases, Vintage Spring Basics

Hello Maja Friends. The snowy weather is outside, it’s peaceful and beautiful, but I have already switched from the winter to the spring . That is why many floral projects are in process at the moment. And today I am here to share with you a Floral Canvas I made.

I used the photo for my canvas, that was made almost 4 years ago, but I still feel the smell of the gardens in bloom, amazing time really.

I also used Vintage Spring Basics Collection, so pretty.

First, I wanted to keep the calm colors of the paper and add only the greens, but actually I enjoyed making the canvas background more bright than the papers and the picture are.

The right thing was to keep purple and grey, but the necessity of adding the blues won that challenge.

I am waiting for the days when we start live in the countryside and enjoy birdsinging in the garden.

Hello Maja Friends,

I hope you had wondeful time with your families and now you are hungry for crafting. While someone is enjoying the meals, the others are busy with cooking. So I made a recipe book for those who keeps the most delicious recipes in one place

I made a soft fabric cover for it and made some sewing while attaching the papers.

I also made some pages inside, that I embellished with die cuts using Life in the Country collection

It has the summer feeling and reminds me about the riped fruits , the smell of the baked pies and homemade confiture.

I combined several patterns and here how they look inside the book

I mixed blue, green and red, I guess they work so well together

Hope that you have liked my project, I am off to start baking for my family.

Hello Maja Friends. Christmas is so close and I can’t stop creating Christmas Cards.

Honestly I amde a cute mini album and wanted to share it with you today, but I was so in a hurry while sending all the gifts and cards to my friends all over the world, that I have forgotten to take a photo of it , believe me it was really cute, but I was so unattentive.

So that is why I am ready to show you more of my Christmas cards, hope that you don’t mind it.

The new collection – Home for the Holidays is so so my winter collection,. This year we jave a lack of snow, though normally bu=y the end of December there is snow and the kids enjoying making the snowballs, today it is raining heavily and it is only +8 degree.

Anyway, I am enjoying watching the snow on Maja papers.

and I ‘ve got one more card I made using this collection too.

The new team is announced, I will meet you only next year. So I wish you a merry and bright Christmas and a Happy and prosperous New Year

Hello Maja Friends. Hope that some of you have a chance to enjoy the winter and the snow. Unfortunately it is not me. There is no snow, only fogs and really nasty weather.

Anyway, I have started creating a Christmas Cards Marathon and I still can not give it up. So today I have 2 cards to share with you. So simple , however I am enjoying paper crafting at the moment.

I used the brand new Christmas Collection . it is so beautiful with a snow feeling that thare is no need to hide it under the tons of embellishments, that’s why I tried to create more paper layers, using at least 5 dies.

I was afraid that using several deers will influence negative on my card, but it seems that they can handle with it, though I do it too.

Fot my second card I made some stamping

I stamped the house image on a striped patterned paper and made some snowflakes stamping on the white cardstock as well

Hope you have a wonderful week end. Thank you so much for joyining me today.

Hello Maja Friends , Elena is here today to share with you the card I made using new collection – Home for the Holidays.

So snowy, so wintery, so magical is this collection for me. Absolutely in love with it.

So I decided to enjoy paper and die-crafting and created this cute card with mittens – my must have every winter.

It was quite easy to combine the papers with each other, so I made some snow on the background cutting the papers on the waves,

wrappaed the mittens with jute trim and fabric pompon ribbons

But what I really like most of all about this collection – is the snowman. This was one of the main winter attribute for me when I was a child and I cut the picture of it to place it as an image and the greeting too.

Now it’s time to wait when the snow comes to my place and after start making the snowman with the kids.

Products used: Waiting for the Holiday – paper pad 6*6, My Favorite Things and Marianne Design dies, Martha Stuart punch, May Arts Jute trim.
