Coffee in the Arbour – Mason Jar Mini Album

29 August, 2014 - Coffee In The Arbour, Mini albums

Hello Maja Design friends,

Today I have a very special album to share with you. I made it for a very special person.

I made it as a recipe book. I guess that it would be wonderful to collect all the favorite recipes of desserts and drinks.

The cover is clear acrylic, so you can easily look through it and see several of the pages.

Some of the pages are folded like an accordion

and I put some of the awesome pictures from Coffee in the Arbour Collection – inside

or used them outside.

I used almost every bit pf a scrap, left after I made all the cutting.

All these scraps can be easily used as an embellishment also

This time I really enjoyed just making paper crafting , without any flowers and even art mediums.

I hope this person will love it as I do, as I had enjoyed so much while creating it for her.

Wedding Card

Hello Maja Friends. Today Elena is with you to share a card I made for a couple who has their wedding ceremony this very week.

I used Vintage Summer Basics 6*6 paper pad. I just love this collection and I do love to create wedding cards this very summer.

I prefer when the wedding cards look a bit complicated and have the colors a bit various from plane white or beige.

But I added some white flowers and mauve leaves.

True Love – this is all that matters while you are in love.

Have a good day

Dreaming about the Sea

Hello Maja Friends.

It is extremely hot in my place and I suffering from this heat. So I have been looking through the pictures taken during our vacation by the sea and just dreaming about some cold breeze and sea water.

That is why I took Life by the Sea collection and started playing with its nautical motifs.

First I moved withing blue and marina colors, but then I realized the the heat followed me there too and I added some red color spots too

So the mixture of Sealight, anchors and feathers alongside with flowers turned into the embellishments for this Layout with the picture of my son playing at the beach

I placed everything on the string and that is the result:

Thank you for stopping by today.

A Set of wedding Cards in Purple

Hello Maja Friends. I hope you are enjoying lazy summer days. as I happy to feel the summer every minute.

Not recently my friend asked me to create a wedding card, as they have been invited to a wedding celebration and she asked me to create something in purple tones.
When someone asks me to do something, I always wnat to see their satisfied faces so I have done 3 cards instead of one, so she could make a choice.

First I thought I need to create something in moderate genre, without any mixed media techniques, though it was quite challenging for me

So I added ribbons, lace trims and flowers.

After I added a resin angel and decided to use some of them too on other cards as well

I used the papers fromm Vintage Spring Basics 6*6 paper pad. and I needed only 3 sheets, as I used the leftovers for all 3 cards

I added tulle, lace , flowers and beautiful papers , of course

and finally my third card:

I used the butterflies on the background as they remind me about the feeling when you are in love and having a wedding ceremony.

Not sure which card my friend choose, but I hope she will like them as well as this happy couple that will receive it.

Hope you have liked my wedding cards. Have a wonderful day

Life by the Sea Mini Album

Hello Maja Friends.

I have been lucky enough to spend one week by the Baltic Sean in early June this year and took tons of pictures of my kids enjoying the see.

Today I have a mini album to share with you and it is full of fun photos onf my son who has seen the sea by the first time. Actually he is quite emotional so I decided to make a mini with those memory keepsakes.

No doubt Life by the Sea collection was my choice and it gave me the name of my album too.

I used acrylic album as a base for my album, some parts I covered with the papers, the others I left clear.

I combined the papers from 6*6 paper pad and 12*12 as well.

I put one more photo inside, on the back of this part:

and here you can see how I painted the clear acrylic parts with the inks and embellished the page with the leftovers. so simple tip, but I guess it looks wonderful, isn’t it?

More mixed media tips were applied at the end of the album, but I admit it was the best way to support those cute photos

I am sure you have already possess or will own some photos taken during your vacation time, and especially taken by the sea. so Life by the sea collection is what you reallu need to make a beautiful album and preserve those warm memories.

Hope you have enjoyed watching my album.
