Good day to all Maja Friends. Elena is here to share some new project with you. Well, Christmas  holidays have passed, but I am sure you have many photos taken during this wonderful time . And of course, Mini album is the best decision to keep those memories.

Maja Design has so many Christmas/Winter collections to try, that it was a dilemma for me which one to choose. Anyway I decided to combine some of them as they complement each other quite well.

 

I used Acrylic Binder from Clear Scraps as I wanted to keep transparency effect as long as the icy look too

 

I have cut the running children from Ringdans paper of  Fröjdefull Jul collection and made some fussy cutting of Vines from Julbukett  paper. and surely my signature – some stamping and acrylic paints on the cover

 

I place all the photos on the acrylic pages that were colored using the stencils and acrylic paint with mica. I love the idea that you can see the next page through the acrilic too and it adds extra decoration to it as well.

 

I left some pages without photos, as I ‘m going to present it to my Mum and she will add the photos herself or will make some notes on the papers. That is why I resisted the desire to add some textured elements and left just stamping and a small amount of modeling paste.

I wanted to choose just red -white colors but I didn’t noticed how I have added pink and peach colors, but I suppose the result is quite amazing

 

The stripes and the dots – really cute, isn’t it?

 

You know, after I cut my backgrounds papers I had many leftovers and I decided to use them as decorations for my pages. Some of them were torn into thin stripes

 

 

and finally the last pages

 

What a great mixture of colors, though it is a boy page

 

and some close ups on my techniques

 

and for the back page I used Gammaldags Jul Collection and its Tradition Paper

 

I hope you have enjoyed my Mini Album and during the week end you will pick up your favourite Christmas photos and will choose your Winter collection to coordinate them.
