Hello  sweet maja fans,

Lenet herre and today I bring you this congratulate card for some one who just has a new home.

Both our daughter and son are trying to find a home for themself, but because there is a big shortage for homes I think it can take a while before the finally find one.

Of course I hope they find one soon and I can sent this card to either one of them on thier new home adress.

 

I made this card using the Bohemian Harmony Collection. The chippies I used are from scrapaholics, I colored them with acrylic paints.

The stamps are som golden oldies from Waltzing mouse.

I hope you like my card and hope to see you again soon.

First Communion Cards

Good morning, dear Maja Friends, welcome to the blog today 🙂

May is traditionally the month of First Communions in Poland, and as it’s a very important celebration for many kids, cards for the occasion are hugely popular. And so today I bring you two cards I made, for a boy and a girl.

While I used the beautiful Miles Apart collection for my cards, I focused on papers you would normally not see, or just not use at all 😉 because I used only one patterned paper, and the main background is with a Monochrome set paper, while for the decorative border on both cards I used the back sides of signature strips that you normally cut off and throw away 🙂 I love that Maja Design uses even those tiny scraps to give you beautiful patterns!

As you can see, I used the same design for both cards, and they differ only by border patterns and main images of boy and girl.

Apart from the background, I used the Monochrome papers for the leaves in the flower clusters too:

And so, although Monochrome sets that go with many of the Maja collections are meant to complement the patterned papers, they also make beautiful background by themselves, as each Monochrome set is designed with their own subtle patterns.

Here’s what I used for the cards:

Maja Design papers:

Other: dies: I Love Craft, Spellbinders; punch: DpCraft; flowers: Wild Orchid Crafts; stamps: Agateria.

That’s all for today, thank you for visiting and see you soon!

Hello Maja design friends.  This is Jennifer Snyder sharing a giant hello using Maja Design’s wonderful “Little Street Cafe” collection and coordinating Monochromatic collection, “Shades of Cafe”.

Many collections has complimenting card stock solids that perfectly match the patterned papers.

Here are the patterned papers I used in this card: “Hot Drinks”, “Always Time”.

 

I love this collection.  It’s a personal favorite with it’s rich and robust colors.  I paired the papers with a bold die from Spellbinders.  My card has also been accented with some flat sided gems from Buttons Galore and More.

 

Thanks for stopping here for a visit.

 Hello lovely Maja Design Friends,

Welcome to this wonderful blog, I made a very colorful layout to show you today and I have used all these gorgeous chippies by 2Crafty Chipboard. This layout was build with lots of layers and I have used two Maja Design collections to do so. The beautiful fine corner florals is treated with white gesso & embossing powder, I wanted it to pop of my page. The clock face I firstly applied gesso on and then some rust paste & and aqua acrylic paints an waxes. On the word “march” I sprayed with some purple lindy’s and then I applied some matte wax. 

Isn’t She Lovely:

 

As I said before I used two different Maja Design collections “Tropical Garden” & “Denim & Girls” this was such a fun color combination to create something with. I used a border punch for my purple sheet and layered the aqua & pink sheets on top of the purple one.

 

 

I really love those word disks this one in particular I painted with different pink acrylic paints. I really love making flower clusters on my pages and use as much chipboard pieces as I can. To finish my layout I added some white spray & beautiful pearls. The photo was taken on my husbands & mine birthday on March 6th Abbey showing of her new dress.

Thank you so much for your visit today. And I sure hope that I have inspired you to take out your lovely Maja Design papers and create and have fun while doing so. Have a blessed & sunny weekend!

Hugs

Good morning, dear Maja Friends, welcome to the blog today 🙂

Spring seems to have settled for good, with the sun appearing for longer, birds chirping and flowers starting to bloom. Therefore I had no choice but to bring you a cheerful layout today 🙂

Doesn’t she look like the lady spring herself?

I made the layout using the Miles Apart collection, which is just perfect for delicate, girly projects due to a selection of soft pinks nad greens and flowery patterns. I layered several pieces of various papers, added hand cut tags, flower clusters and some embellishments.

I arranged the title with sticker alphabet letters and die-cut words:

The clear gems I used to finish off the page and the glitter words of the title glimmer beautifully against the light, adding to the lightness of the page:

I really like the way it turned out, delicate and joyful like the sunny spring day 🙂

And here’s what I used:

Maja Design papers:

Other: dies: Kesi’Art; flowers: Prima, Wild Orchid Crafts; clock face: Maya Road; sticker alphas: October Afternoon; butterfly: UHK Gallery; wing: my stash.

That’s all for today, thank you for visiting and have a Happy Easter!
