I simply adore these delicate, subtile, and gorgeous papers!
The colors are so beautiful and the details are subtile,yet amazing!
The collection I loved the most is no more in production, it was Minna Vänner Rosa-Marina. It seems that this collection will bring the same feeling again . I am looking forward to see these papers.
Thank you for giving us the chance to win this collection!
Hope you will make more of these wonderful collections!
Wish you lots of inspiration and a lovely week
Kind regards,
Magda

This collection of papers is so inspiring. I have already thought of how I would use these papers. I have 4 granddaughters and the pink pallet is perfect. As I was looking at these papers I was thinking how much they feel like home, comfortable, relaxing, soothing. Seems how I can not get Maja Design here I would be Honored to win and show off your papers to so many and to as many scrapbook stores that I can to see if they could carry them. I had just spoke with Gabrielle at Such A Pretty Mess just a couple of weeks ago about how I love all the paper lines at Maja Design. Hope you consider me. I’ll be waiting by my computer.

The delicate pink and green of this wonderful Limited Collection and your description just draw you in to walk with you round the gardens looking at the flowers and smelling the heady scent of the roses…… I can’t wait to try and get my hands on these stunning papers as I can see so many great layout ideas in my head already! Does it really have to be a one print run collection? So gorgeous and I would just love to be lucky enough to win some…..sigh!! :)

Beatrice Lawson on said:
Gorgeous and romantic, what a great collection for wedding pages, mom pages, and elegant love pages… absolutely dreamy collection. I keep my fingers crossed – I do follow your blog and pretty much all your DT as I love your projects and your mood board monthly challenges. Glad to see a new collection!

Michelle Frisby on said:
Seriously … this isn’t going to be one of those ‘I want collections’ it is going to be an ‘I need’ collection, actually to be honest … more like ‘I have to have’ … absolutely s.t.u.n.n.i.n.g. and some … it’s gorgeous.

Hi Wow I so look forward to each collection and it is a must have in my wee world of crafting it is the first inspiration for whatever project I make and I am always proud to say I have used Maja Design papers. I love the soft pinks and the beautiful roses they look so pretty it will be hard to put scissors anywhere near them. Thank you for the chance to win and can’t wait to buy them too ;0)

Hilary-Anne Wattus on said:
My Mum and I have just started scrapbooking together and we came across your papers while we were looking for ideas online, and I have to say your papers are my absolute favourite!!! As soon as we saw them we loved them, they were all perfect. You have inspired us to turn the TV off and spend time doing our scrapbooking. All of your papers are beautiful and I can’t wait to spend time with my Mum creating layouts with your papers! (We just had to have them all!!) and I would love to have a chance of winning these papers so my Mother and I could share them together!

Thank you so much for making these beautiful papers. I have tried to buy some of your collections here in the USA with no success as they are always sold out. I am blessed by the chance to win them! Thank you so very much!

Danielle Tilley on said:
Yay!! Thanks again for an opportunity to pick up some beautiful Maja paper! I’m still trying madly to buy ANY Maja paper, let alone limited edition! So special, loving the damask and script along with the beautiful old fashioned roses. Just looking at Maja paper relaxes me. So sweet and delicate. Down here in Australia is a big struggle to get your hands on it. I have found a couple of online stockists but still unable to receive supplies for one reason or another. Can’t wait to be able to use this gorgeous paper xx

Big congratulations to you all! Please e-mail your physical address+phone number to moodboard@majadesign.nu, mark the subject “Sofiero winner”. We will send out the collection as soon as it’s printed.

Our July Mood Board is about the lazy days by the coast line. Listen to the seagulls, feel your skin burn and just enjoy the good days of life. It’s based on the Life By The Sea collection and I hope you’ll like it.

So make sure to stop by next Tuesday so you don’t miss it.

The summer is here, showing it’s best face. The days are getting warmer and we try to sneak out for a fika in the sun as often as we can. We are preparing for the summer holidays at Maja Design. We will not be having any guest during July, but we have invited two of our very much beloved guests from the past to keep you inspired…

We are overwhelmed by the enormous positive response we have had on our new collection. It really warms our hearts and we are most grateful. So we have decided to give away TEN sets of Sofiero instead of three. So grab your chance while you still can.

Big hugs
Jenny and Marie

Introducing our very first limited collection… Here’s a taste of the upcoming Sofiero collection.Sofiero

Smell the roses while you walk through The Rose Paths of Sofiero. You can see the fairytale castle glimps in the background while you stroll around the castle’s world famous gardens. Walk through Princess Margareta’s Flowerstreet and be amazed by her sense of colours and gardening. Head on to The Dahlia District before crossing the garden down to the gates by the sea. Listen to the waves and enjoy the sun. A wedding couple passes by giggling. The summer is here to stay.

Our new collection is a summer celebration to the historical gardens of Sofiero that is cared for and developed in honour of its legacy.

This exclusive collection consists of eight two sided 12×12 sheets and will only be in stock for a limited period of time. They will not reprint so make sure to get your set before they are gone.

For a chance to win the collection, leave a comment on this posting telling us what you think of it. We also encourage you to follow our blog and spread the word on Facebook and your own personal blogs. We will present three happy winners June 25th.

Our June Mood Board is about the early summer with it’s blossoming flowers and blue skies. Based on the gorgeous Äntligen collection, this is the perfect opportunity to finally scrap your graduation and speechday photos.June-Mood-board

And here’s a little reminder of what our mood boards are used for…

Definition mood board – n

a board used by designers on which samples of various colours and textures are mounted to help in deciding which elements complement each other 

We are using mood boards for our challenges. We truely believe in creativity and art at Maja Design. You are free to interpret the mood boards in any way you’d like. They are supposed to set you in an inspirational mood without too much controlling. We would like you to be inspired by the poems, words and photos. They are not given rules, they are just there as inspiration. They are all inspired by a Maja collection, but you are free to use any Maja papers you’d like as long as they follow the colour scheme. We highly encourage you to follow the theme of the mood board as well.

We are presenting a new mood board the first Tuesday of every month. We will be presenting all participating creations that fulfill the requirements below June 25th. We will also draw a winner who will be winning a Maja Design collection of their own choice in 6×6 or 12×12.

After your creation is done, take a photo and send it to moodboard@majadesign.nu without any watermarks (size 600×600). Include your full name and address in the e-mail together with what collection you would like if you win. Don’t forget to write down if you would like 6×6 or 12×12. We need your creation June 23rd at the latest.

We will only publish creations that fullfill the requirements!

And here comes inspiration created by our fabulous Creative Team…Andrea_Ewen
