Hello sweet Maja Friends

I think like many of you I always loved Alice in wonderland.

I especially love the Alice movies Tim Burton made , the costumes,  the art,  make up ..everything.

Recently I rediscovered scrapping  at 6 x12inch papers . And I must say it’s really fun to scrap this size .

So one and one makes two and I decided to make a Tim Burton Alice serie in this half size and here you have the first one.

Alice.

i printed a queen of hearts I found on pinterest and tucked it behind Alice her picture like she is peaking around the corner , nosy as she is.

 

I added a bunch of roses from wild orchid craft

And a pocket watch, from the white Rabbit.

I used papers of the celebration collection , the strips with text are from Tim Holtz

Hello friends!

Soon is Mother’s Day and I want to give a little attention to my mother. I created a mixed media frame in a delicate shabby chic look.

 

I used a simply frame as basic. Firstly I made some ornaments with the help of moulds and air drying modeling clay.

These were glued to the frame with heavy gel medium, I added some metallic sticker too.

Then I painted everything over with Chalky Finish ‘Vintage’ paint from DecoArt.

Now put some heavy white gesso over the embellishments to bring out the texture and details on the frame.

some details

I used paper sheet ‘Birthday’ as background and the beautiful lady from ‘Emphemera’ 12 x 12

little lady was a cut out from the 6 x 6 paper back

I’ve always loved the combination of these colours and the beautiful ‘Celebration’ paper is probably my favourite in the stash.

Cut to fit and complemented with a metal frame from Prima and some blooms, the new frame in altered art was finished.

Suitable to this frame I made two wooden handpainted candle holds with her favourite flowers

and a irish crochet doily.

Thanks for your visit!

Have a beautiful time!

 

With all my heart…

Hi everyone! Here I am with a card using the Celebration Collection. This time I have mixed the pink and blue papers from this wonderful collection.

The shape of the card is cut out with a GoKreate die. Then I have made it an easel card. I have cut out a heart from Spellbinder dies, and placed it all with flowers.

The text from Stempelglede says: You are special.

I made some poststamps from a lovely flower papers, with a DooHickey die from Magnolia. The postmark stamp is from Stempelglede.

The image is from Magnolia. I have coloured her with Distress Ink, re-inkers. The blue is Weathered Wood, and the pink is Victorian Velvet. I have used the colour Hickery Smoke to make the darker places, and shadows. I think she is beautiful with flowers in her hair. The text on the tags are from Stempelglede.

This card was also in the February issue of Ett Trykk. As a presentation card of my self, and my style of cardmaking. Here comes a list of the papers used:

Thank you so much for visiting the Maja Design blog!

With love,

Sweet Memories

Goodmorning lovely Maja Fans,

Are you enjoying the spring weather…here in The Netherlands we had some pretty sunny days but that is over now, sadly but hopefully soon we can enjoy the sun again. For today I have a layout to share. Two weeks ago my computer died on me and I could not post my project {sorry for that} but now my husband fixed that and I can edit my work again yeah. This layout is made with two collections “Celebration” & “Denim and Friends” and Camilla her lovely daughter Freja <3 is on the picture.

On the beackground of my layout I added the pretty waterdrops stamp by Gabrielle Pollacco {still one of my favorite stamps sets ever} but before I added that stamp I used two other stamps to one crackle and one script stamp. After prepairing my background I treated my chipboard pieces with several acrylic paints layered on top of each other to get a worndown look.

After I treated the chipboards I added my flower clusters. Then I took my photograph and layered it on two sheets of the 6×6 paper pads then I placed it on top of the chipboard frame to get more dimension.  At the end I took out a letter sticker sheet from webster pages and made the word bliss and in that corner I placed a metal piece.

At the end I used some of my white spray and gesso to lighten up my flowers and papers…but I also added some art stones and some sea shells. I think that is it on how I created this layout. I had a lot of fun also because we have a son and I really enjoy making layouts with girls being the focal point.

Maja Design papers used: Celebration: Glamour bs & Champagne bs, Denim & Friends: Streetwear bs.

    

Thank you very much for your visit, I hope I have inspired you to go and create something beautiful with your Maja papers. Have a wonderful & sunny day!

Love xoxo

Hello.  Jennifer Snyder here to share a touch of Spring.
It’s April on the calendar, however there is still snow where I live.  I need spring cards to help keep my hope alive.
Helping keep the hope for spring alive at my house is the gorgeous Celebration 12×12 collection from Maja Design.
These are the papers I am using:
Celebration Collection – Congratulations
Celebration Collection – Entertainment
Celebration Collection – Festivities
The designs from this collection range from bold to delicate. It’s such a versatile collection.  As you can see, I am using the soft and delicate papers for this card.
I added some chipboard from Creative Embellishments for additional accenting.

 Here is one last look at the finished card.

 

 Thanks for visiting today.
