Hello Maja friends!
Thanks for your visit!
Heratful greetings from Kerstin
Welcome friends!
Today is the day of the year where especially the children have a lot of fun.
I’m not the greatest Halloween fan but I love the mystical, imaginative side of it.
Dimly light, swathes of mist envelope the landscape, glowing pumpkins in warm colors and not very serious stories, but always associated with a lot of fun.
It is also the main harvest time of pumpkins in my garden,
I used some papers from our wonderful autumn collections.
Paper sheet ‘ The colours of fall’ from the paper collection ‘Walking in the forest’ was perfect for me as background.
Beautiful green shades together with the delicate old trees were very suitable for my autumn mixed media layout.
The background brings the warm colors of the pumpkins to light.
some details
I love layouts with a natural look and so can also find
acorns, autumn leaves and branches (cutting dies).
Maja Design papers
are very well suited for working with
cutting dies, because
papers are very stable and bring along the appropriate color shades.
a beautiful man and you can do it yourself 🙂
Exciting, what you can discover in autumn foliage
Thanks for your visit and Happy Halloween!
Hello Maja friends!
When we were hiking in the autumn forest, we discovered a new house for our dog.
Filou had to examine it closely and it seems as if it meets his requirements 😉
Back at home, he has come to love his soft dog basket and of course our sofa again,
because it’s much more comfortable as he whispered to me.
That was my inspiration for this new autumn layout in mixed media natural style.
I have combined two of our beautiful autumn collections at Maja Design ‘Enjoying Outdoors’ and ‘Walking in the forest’.
The delicately patterned green background was ideally suited
to embellish it with stamps, stencils and spray paints.
The central element is a cutout from the paper sheet ‘Maple’ in the shape of an autumn leaf,
which somehow looks like an acorn.

Welcome Maja friends!
Today a season inspired layout, Autumn is the best time to go on a discovery tour through the forest and to rustle in the fragrant autumn leaves.
I used the background paper ‘Birch’ from Maja Design collection ‘Walking in the forest’.
What can be better than a wonderful walk through a colourful forest
in your favourite pair of jeans?!
used papers
I was inspired to make a natural rustic style layout.
For that I also worked with papers from our Denim & Friends paper collection, with corrugated cardboard, blue color shades and suitable autumn chipboards, wooden shapes and embellishments.

corrugated cardboard and leftovers from ‘Wood’ as frame wood planks
Enjoy your day!
Hello Maja friends!
The sunflowers are blooming in my garden, a wonderful flower – beautiful and useful at the same time. They radiated stronger than the sun and provide the birds with plenty of food in winter. Mostly they grow by themselves and only need a support or neighbor’s garden fence.
I was inspired to create mixed media layout with autumn feelings and so I used a lot of leaves dies, stamps and fabric textures.
The autumn colours based on spray inks in yellow, white and brown shades.
The Monochrome paper sheet ‘Old Brass’ from the Shades of Celebration collection was very suitable for it.
I’m always in love with the amazing motif papers from Maja Design,
but if you want to develop artistically completely free, the monochrome papers are perfect,
because you can hide nothing with your own personal design.
You know what I mean?!
Old Brass bs
some details
I love the natural look, not perfect but unique,
just like outside in the garden and in the great outdoors.
I hope my layout was able to get you into the fall
and inspire you to play with the wonderful papers again.
Have a beautiful time!
Kerstin
