Tut

I decided to do a tut, after I got this far. I cut out the center, of  the “I wish you a Happy Holiday”, & glued it on to brown cardstock.

I glued the framed photo on. When I trimmed the photo, I left excess paper, I then glued on the pieces from the DA-old wooden fence. I primed the fence pieces, with clear gesso, then painted them with the clear crackle paint.Once the crackle dried, I painted them with the LuminArt-Golden Monarch. I then applied snow texture, glitter & the prills to the opposite corners, that I did on the corrugated paper

Using a ruler, I ripped the “I wish those memories would last sheet”, then glued burlap & corrugated paper under. I used a paper pierce & mat to poke in holes, for hand stitching…

Hello Maja Friends,

Christmas is almost here and I’ve made a couple of cards.

ChristmasCard_Snowballs_ElenaOlinevich

It is such a busy time when  I create normally tons of cards. However this year I made only a few.

ChristmasCard_Snowballs_ElenaOlinevich1

However it is such a pleasure to use Christmas papers and to create the layers.

ChristmasCard_Snowballs_ElenaOlinevich2

I’ve added some die cuts and a few jewels.

ChristmasCard_Snowman_ElenaOlinevich

For my second card I used the cut out image and the crochet doily as an accent.

ChristmasCard_Snowman_ElenaOlinevich1

I also added the berries insted of using the snowflakes. I guess it is a fine option.

I also want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas . Hope that next year will be generous to all of us.

Products used:

6×6 paper pad

Hello Sweeties,

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with my last post for 2016. I made a final Xmas card with the I Wish collection.

Xmas Card by Pascale

I glued on the base two pieces of papers that I distressed. I die-cut a doily cut in two that I inserted between the two papers.

Xmas Card by Pascale

I cut the sentiment in the I wish Ephemera. I glued some sisal, a couple of flowers,  some die-cut sprigs of holly.

To add some sparkling, I added gold mica flakes as well as gold, green and red glitters.

I wish you all a merry Christmas.

Hello, I'm Pascale B. from France. Since I began to scrap, flowers are part of my layouts, and I gradually started to use mixed media as well. I don’t know how to define my style, perhaps something like free vintage shabby style could be a good definition. Visit me at www.pbhobby.blogspot.com

Merry Christmas!

Good morning, Maja Friends, I’m so happy you’ve found some spare moment in the hot time of Christmas preparations to visit our blog 🙂

I’m in the middle of that fever too, with getting my home ready for 16 people 😉 and so just a quick post today to share an 8×8 layout:

mdmerry

I selected the ecru, red and brown patterns of the I Wish collection to decorate the photo of my boys in their Santa’s angels suits 😉 I layered the red and ecru papers for the background:

mdmerry2

…and added some handmade tags nad the title I cut out from the signature strip:

mdmerry1

I also placed a piece of the signature strip across the photo and added a Santa post stamp from the Ephemera sheet:

mdmerry3

Then I added the flower cluster with glittery diecuts and a berry twig I found in some cheap store a couple of years ago 😉

mdmerry4

I put the layout into a dimensional frame:

mdmerry6

….and it will make a home decor Christmas gift for the Grandparents 🙂

mdmerry5

I hope they’d like it!

 

Supplies:

Other: dies: Magnolia, no name dies; flowers: Wild Orchid Crafts; chipboard: Scrapiniec; bling: Marianne Design; berry twig, button, clip: my stash

And now, before I get back to work, I’d like to thank you for visiting Maja Design blog this year, for your nice comments and appreciation.

I wish you the happiest Christmas and a fabulous creative New Year!

Hi lovely friends,

I can’t believe 2016 is almost over but 2017 is going to be a wonderful scrappy year for me as well….if you want to know more you could visit my blog and see. For today’s post I used the pretty new “I Wish”collection and made a layout with a winter touch and picture of our handsome boy way back in time. As much as I love making winter projects layout’s, cards and such I don’t like the cold at all and always wonder how it would be if I was born in a warm country. I find snow very peaceful although I dislike the mess it makes when melting…..for this layout I took out my favorite Martha Steward around the corner punch and lifted the corners so that the middle part didn’t look so high!

What I really do like about Maja Design papers are the extra borders you get on each sheet….on this layout I used two of them to accent my layout! They are a great pieces of extra to compliment your work. On the background sheet I added some paste, spray, snow and stamps also all the chippies are by Dusty Attic which are treated with paint, embossing powder and snow. The edges of my layout are of course distressed and stitched.

Lately I am hoarding straws {kind of a new fetish for me lol} I love to use them on my layout. Did you ever use straws?? If so I would love to see your work or maybe you could enter this months challenge…..I really love this months mood board. I just love the fact that you could win a whole collection of your choice awesome right?
