Life by the Sea : MajaDesign

Stars and Stripes

27 May, 2017 - Life by the Sea

Jennifer Snyder here today to share my U.S. patriotic themed cards created using the fabulous Maja Design “Life By the Sea” collection.

Over in the U.S., we are celebrating our Memorial Day holiday honoring our military heroes who have given their lives for our freedom. It’s a major holiday in the United States – most businesses are closed and families typically gather for parties, grilling and picnics. It also signals the start to summer in the US – our official summer begins with Memorial Day.

Where I live in New York, farmers in my region do not plant crops until Memorial weekend. Homeowners can start getting their gardens in shape (with fingers crossed that no more snow will fall.)

Another fun fact about our Memorial Day holiday…it’s long been the standard of fashion in the US. For decades, women dared not wear anything white before Memorial Day.

Maja Design – Life By the Sea collection.

The Life By the Sea collection is perfect for my patriotic and nautical projects.

Here is my first card. It’s simple and classic.

The chipboard star is from Creative Embellishments – Patriotic Stars.

I love this collection because it can be easily used for vintage projects simply by adding a little inking on the edges of the papers. It’s also my favorite paper to use when I am creating anything with an “Americana” theme -which I adore.

Here is my second card. This also has the fun star chipboard from Creative Embellishments. It looks amazing resting atop the bold blue of the paper.

Here’s to a wonderful warm summer filled with friends and family, health and safety (plus some paper crafting fun too).

Hello dear friends, Evgenia Petzer with you today. My son is getting older and is being invited to birthday parties more often. This time around we were asked to give a gift card to the toy shop as a present. So of course I wanted to pack it nicely. I coloured in the image that suits the papers and the boyish colors (LOTV image with prismacolor pencils) and then created this envelope.

The part with the boy is sliding and then you can open the envelope.

the papers are from my favorite Life by The Sea collection

Hello dear friends! Its Evgenia Petzer with you today and I have prepared the mini album from the gorgeous Life by the Sea. I am scrapping for about 9 years and this collection is still the best for me from the nautical ones. Its so versatile, its neutral colors can be worked out in so many ways. I went this time with grey and deep blue. the dice just from the Kaisercraft worked very well here, as well as some russian chipboard and some die cutting.

Lets have a look? I have put some of the photos of my oldest son as in example in it, but most probably i will just gift this mini album.

Lovely shaker on the cover.

Being a mom to three boys I made this mini in a bit boyish, pirate style, with some touches of black and kraft color.

Lots of close ups:

love this embossing powder (Stampendous, shabby series in action). Works so well!

Hope you have enjoyed my mini-album!

here is a peek of the collection that I have used (Life by the Sea):

Have a good weekend,

Goodmorning lovelies,

It’s such a blessing to post on this blog and today I am here to show you two tall cards I created with a bunch of Maja Design collections. I don’t even know how many of them because both cards made out of leftover papers I really enjoy using my scraps every once in a while! I really enjoy the month March not only because it was my birthday {and hubby’s too} yesterday but I really love how spring is sneaking up on us. Did you see the gorgeous spring mood board yesterday on the blog? If not please check the ladies made some pretty amazing work on that mood board wow…..

First card is called “Hello Love” and this card has at least three collections in it like “Enjoying Outdoors”, “Vintage Spring Basics” & can you see the other one? These cards are all made with dies so you can really see the beautiful Maja Design collections at it’s best.

Maja Design papers used: on the flowers; Late summer flowers bs & Scent of lavender

Second card is called “Groovy Summer” I really am longing for Summer since this is my most favorite season of the year but here in The Netherlands that will take some time before we can put our winter coats away sadly. This card is made with just one collection which is one of my all time favorites “Life by the Sea” both cards are the same size about 8,5″ inches tall and 4,5″ inches wide.

Maja Design papers used: Life by the Sea: Landmark, Sailing, Marina and Drop the Anchor.

I hope you enjoyed my post today and I would like to wish you a lovely week and weekend. We {hubby and I} are going to celebrate out birthday’s this Saturday I just love to see our families again. Bye bye for now….

Love

A Beautiful Wedding Day!

I am so excited and happy to get to share something beautiful! My sweet daughter’s wedding!

We filled this room with Paper, Pearls, and Lace!

Who knew such a beautiful display could be made from paper….

Although, not just any paper could pull off such a gorgeous spread. It took around 200 sheets of beautiful Maja paper mixed with a few others to pull off this massive creation…. and about 4 months of my time. Yep, I made every single one of those layered pinwheel flowers. I must say, it was worth every single minute. Many, many thanks to Maja’s Marie and Camilla for sending such a generous box to make this project possible!
