Baby Girl Album

4 January, 2015 - Mini albums

Hello Maja Friends.

I have been really busy with making cards and gifts before Christmas, but a new baby arrived straight before Christmas Eve, and a friend of mine asked me to make an album for her and her parents. I have just 3 free evenings to create something and it was a really rough time for me, but I have managed to be ready almost in time.

so here it is a baby Girl album

I also made a video clip for you to see all the folded books inside as well as some close ups. But for those who is not able to watch it, I am posting the photos too

I have made several books and envelopes inside so that you can add more photos than just one.

I used almost all the scraps and really enjoyed the cutting some if the pictures. I didn’t want it to be pink or too girly. so I used absolutely different colors for it

I have never used so many buttons in one place

All the secret extra pages you can watch in the video clip

I hope you have enjoyed watching my album, and I have to say that I really enjoyed making it, so I guess more albums are expected to be created this new 2015 year.

Hello Maja Friends, we had snow last week but there is none of it today. The rainy weather and still warm as if it is the Fall. Anyway, I am not kind of person who prefers winter because of its cold, but I feel that I need it right now as I am busy with Christmas preparations.

So I created several cards

It is my attempt to enjoy the snow. So I used some embellishments to support my wish.

For this card I used just scraps of paper and even some negatives, but I still like to use every bit of Maja papers for my creations.

For my second card I went further and used even some papers from non – Christmas collection, they are more spring and fresh, but I guess they look crispy frozen here.

and my last but not the least card, is a bit girly

But is was created for a fashion addicted person who is good in wearing trendy and feminine clothes even when it is freezing outside.

Again just leftovers and scraps but I guess no one will know about it.

Have a good day and I wish you a Merry and Bright Christmas.

Hello Maja Friends, today I am sharing a Mini Album I created for the Christmas memories. It can be used as a December Daily as well but I keep it as a present for a special friend of mine.

I used one of my favourite Winter collections ( so I admit I love all of them) – Vintage Winter. I just love the blue tones of it, it is so traditional for a Russian Winter.

I used a clear album and decorated my cover page with clear ornament ball:

And a first page with a circle photo frame

My next pages:

I didn’t want to cover the beautiful background papers with many layers, so I kept some of the pages clean and simple – just for adding the photos or some notes.

I added some envelopes and folded books to place more photos inside:

and this is the backside of my cover, it is also clear:

Hello dear Friends.

I am really busy with Christmas Cardmaking. I don’t know the reason but this year I did so many cards that I have never done for all my scrapbooking experience.

and today I am here to share , I would say , black and white, but they are a little bit different.

The first card I made is in white light colors, I used the new collection – A Gift for You, I can not stop to create with it, it is one of my favorite as it has my favourite colors.

The second card is made in dark colors and reminds me about chocolate

I used for my background the brown paper from the same collection and cut the snowflake and the branch using the punches and the papers with the script print.

The products I used to create this card:

A Gift for You: Sent With Love, Wrapped in Old Newspaper, Prima Marketing Die Cut , flowers, ribbon trims.

Hello Elena is here, and today I have some projects to share with you, using new collection – A Gift for You.

It is more than beautiful in real life and I have fallen in love with it, absolutely amazing colors so perfect for Winter and Christmas creations.

I have made a Tri_fold Frame on clear acrylic and as it is going to be a present to our friends I didn’t use any of the photo and just kept the central frame save for their own photo.

I added some transparent sticker corners, so they can easely change any photo they like.

I cut the house dies using some of the background papers as well as the trees and placed them on the frames.

Also I added some flowers and resin frames, I wanted to keep the wintery and snowy feeling so I added none of bright colors.

and a third frame:

Maja Design papers used: A Gift For You:

On Christmas morning, When the snow is falling, Prima Marketing flowers, Dies and Resin Frames, Finnabair Art Ingredients,

And one more project I have to share , it is an album I made using ( again) acrylic base.

It has a very pretty from of Christmas Tree and I used a lot of papers from a Gift For You Collection too.

It’s size is about 15*30 cm or 6*12 and I placed many hidden envelopes and folded books for the future photos inside.

I am really busy with preparing Christmas gifts and cards, and really have many of them to share with you. But I will do it next time.

Thank you for stopping by today.
