Nyhavn : MajaDesign

Picture Perfect

2 September, 2016 - Layouts, Nyhavn, Sommartider, Vintage Spring Basics

Goodmorning lovelies,

Today I am filling in for the lovely Elena Olinevich {and she will have my day next week} with a layout I made out of three different collections. I used a picture of my men that I took on our vacation in Turkey. Also on this layout I used a bunch of Dusty Attic chipboard pieces that I treated all differently I painted, embossed & stamped them. The collection I used are “Vintage Spring Basics”, “Nyhavn” and “Sommartider”……..every flower except the black ones are hand made with lovely dies.

For the first time ever I used straws on my layout……I totally love it! I did see it a lot on scrapbook pages that I had to try it too. I love this color palette especially because purple is my favorite color to scrap. All the chipboard pieces are first gessod and later on painted with Dusty Attic acrylic paint and the circles with the text in them are embossed with Lindy’s Stamp Gang powder. On the frame I added some text stamp on the end.

I enjoy using all the metal pieces there are in this hobby but I have to say I am running out of them and they are not for sale anymore here in The Netherlands it is sad that they are not here forever lol……I so love this picture of my handsome men I am the luckiest woman on this planet.

I did some mixed media on the background too I can’t imagine to not use spray or paste on my work anymore they so give your layout the wow factor hihihihi…..

Hi everyone. Sadly this is my last post for Maja Design.
I’m pregnant with baby #2 and my mind and body aren’t cooperating the way that I would like, so I’m taking a break from some of my scrapbooking commitments to try to get a little more rest.

For my last layout I have used the Nyhavn Collection to create a vintage style layout.

I used three papers from the Nyhavn collection to layer together and create my background. These papers were, The Sunny Side, A Dockside in Bloom & Kings Square.

I added white texture paste through a floral and diamond stencils.

I coloured my chipboard with Distress Ink in Hickory Smoke to match the colour of the King’s Square paper. Then I embellished with yellow, peach and grey flowers to compliment the papers.

Goodmorning lovelies,

Oh boy is it stinking hot here in The Netherlands with temperatures above 30 degrees feels like Turkey all over again! God is good 😉 We had a great time on our vacation destination but it is also really nice to come home. I have to admit I am very lazy the last couple of days my head wants to scrap but my hart is not letting my head to do so…..So for today I have a simple layout for you all it’s a 8×8 inch one I love making those because they take lass space in my scrap room.

Since my printer is acting up I had to use another picture for this layout. Don’t you just love the new Summertime collection as much as I do. As you see on this layout I hand made my own flowers again. I will also show you a layout that I made for my other design team I am on using as much handmade flowers as I could on a 8×8 layout. Hopefully you will enjoy my work.

The picture was take back in 2010 and he was writing his name in the sand. I really love the bikes in this collection so I did not cover it up with flowers. To finish my flowers clusters I used some real sea shells.

Maja Design papers used: {by the sea} Is my favorite, Is my favourite bs, Having fun bs, Wind in my hair bs.

Now I would like to show you two other layouts that I made with a couple of other gorgeous Maja Design collections! The pretty “Vintage Romance”and mixture off two collections for my other layout! The first layout was made for Cheery Lynn Designs and the other one for The Dusty Attic 😉

Thank you so much for visiting the blog today I hope you have enjoyed my work…..and I will see you in two weeks with another project. Have a marvelous weekend everyone.

Hugs

Card for a man

Hello dear friends! Its Evgenia Petzer with you and I am sharing the new masculine card that I have made for our friends’ birthday.

I think I have mentioned it already before, but today I will do it once again. The Maja design papers are so versatile, you can even create absolutely men’s cards using them. You just need to use more masculine embellishments.

even flowers can look appropriate for the men’s cards if they are in neutral or dark colors, do you agree?

Lots of close ups:

many layers, some black paint splashes…

also some black stitching with my sewing machine.

I have used the Nyhavn collection for this card:

have a lovely Saturday,

Happy Birthday

Goodmorning lovelies,

As I am writing this post it’s almost 12 o’clock at night and we will be leaving on our vacation tomorrow! Yeah the time is finally there some precious family time. When you will read this post I will be at the pool side at our hotel in Turkey enjoying the warm sun and lovely food & drinks. For today’s post I made a card again and this time I used the beautiful Limited Edition “Nyhavn” Heritage Harbor collection this collection had to grow on me but now it’s like one of my favorites to design with. At the end of my post I will show you a layout I created for another DT using the same collection.

All the flowers on my card are handmade with dies from Cheery Lynn Designs. I love creating flowers because it’s very therapeutic and you can make them while sitting in the sun or just when you are watching tv.

In the future I will make a video on how I make my flowers. There was someone asking that because in my last {and first} video. I also used some chipboard pieces on my card and I added some metal gems to make my chipboard a little prettier

Maja Designs papers used: Old Townhouses bs, Veteran ships bs, King’s square bs, Sitting at the dock, Strolling along the canal.

Here is a layout I made with same collection all created with dies. The picture is a selfie we made a couple of weeks ago and because my husband never listens to me {about not wearing his sunglasses} it looks like he pooped in his pants in this picture hihihihih lol. If you also love this collection you have to be fast because it’s almost sold out…….

Thank you so much for being here with me today and hopefully you are enjoying your vacation time too….and for the people who already went I hope you had a great time spent with your loved ones. Have a wonderful & sunny weekend!

Hugs
