Happy Monday!!! Marilyn here with you today…I’m going to share you my latest project with Maja Design papers using the Ska Vi Ta en Fika? Collection. I made a romantic page about my hubby and I, this time I chose the purples, lavender, yellow and ivory tones from the Fika collection. I made a step by step video tutorial of this page and you will see my creative process.

This collection has beautiful papers…the design, the colors are awesome! I used the Soders Hojder and the Blommor Pa Bordet from the Fika collection.

I love to mix different textures in my work, here are corrugated., lace, cheesecloth, pearls and metal.

My title is a sticker from Close to My Heart, the small butterflies are from the 8th of March paper-Vintage Spring Basics collection.

Prima flowers, bulb and mask. The quote is another sticker from CTMH.

I played with my mist and paints, I had fun using my Shimmerz Sprintz.

Happy Monday to everyone! Marilyn here today to share you my latest project with Maja Design. This time I made a page with a fabulous combination, I mixed Crochet + Mix Media + Crea Diem collection = a Romance….

This page is about my son Alexander and his girlfriend Monique. I started to pick the paper Sin lyckas smed, Skapa Dagen and Den Oersattliga Tiden from the Crea Diem collection for this project. I cut all the clocks from one of the paper and used one of the biggest as my photo mat. I chose the Sin lyckas smed paper as my base and I added two pieces of crochet that I bought in my local craft store then I applied gesso and Shimmerz in different colors to create the background work.

To create a variety of textures in my page I added the metal hearts and the key.

I painted a piece of lace with glimmer mist and put it between the two piece of crochet and behind the photo.

I created a circular frame with the vine pearls and the jute.

In the floral cluster I incorporated some of the cut out clocks…

Supplies: Crea Diem collection: Sin lyckas smed, Skapa Dagen and Den Oersattliga Tiden papers, Shimmerz paints, 13Arts- clear gel medium, Paper Studios-flowers, Prima flowers, butterflies by Pink Paislee, Ranger Distress Inks, chipboard-Scrapmatts.

Until next time!!!

Happy Monday Maja friends!! I have a page to share with you today with many techniques and full of textures. This time I worked with one of my favorites Maja Design collections …Sofiero, wow, this collection is so gorgeous, I’m in love with the beautiful soft colors and the pretty designs. I also added a paper from the Vintage Spring Basics collection.

I added textures to the background paper “The magnificent Flowerstreet” with a Jenny Swap’ stencil (hearts) and molding paste. I also added some mash tape, lace, corrugated and flower to the borders of the paper and mixed it with gesso, then I painted with Shimmerz paints.

My page has a lot of layers and dimension. I incorporated many elements here like buttons, moss, pearls stem, chipboard, pearls, lace, sequins and many flowers.

I made a design draping the paper and putting my photo as the focal point in my page with a chipboard frame that I painted with gesso, shimmerz paint and then stamped with a Ranger Distress ink and many mat layers with Maja Design papers. In the borders of the draped I added layers with the “Enjoying the Fragance, Exuberance of flowers in bloom and The Magnificent of the Flowerstreet papers” from the Sofiero collection.

Supplies: Sofiero collection: “Enjoying the Fragance, Exuberance of flowers in bloom and The Magnificent of the Flowerstreet papers”,”Days to Remember paper by Vintage Spring Basics collection, Sheaky Lead and Scrapmatts chipboads, Prima flowers, Shimmerz Paints, Liquitex gesso, Heidi Swap stencil.

Until next time!

Forever Love

Here in North Carolina everything around is turning green and blooming, it looks very pretty, so I continue inspired for spring pages and here is my page.

My kids make me laugh…I said “cheese” and they put this funny face at the same time,lol. Every time I saw the photo I start to laugh and I have to make a page with it.

I made fussy cutting(clocks) from the paper No. XVI – Vintage Autumn Basics.

I added textures with molding paste, gesso and acrylic paint in my background.

The small flowers are handmade with the 5th of April paper.

To create dimension I draped the paper and to add more textures I used different elements.

Supplies: Vintage Autumn Basics: No.XXII, No.XVI, Vintage Spring Basics:4th of April, Vintage Summer Basics:1904 paper, Walking in the Forest: The color of fall paper. Martha Steward border punch, Liquitex-gesso, Ranger-distress ink, molding paste
