Nyhavn : MajaDesign

Wonderful Boy

28 February, 2016 - Layouts, Nyhavn

Goodmorning lovelies,

Oh boy…..I think I found myself a new love lol, I am talking about the “Nyhavn” collection so for today I would like to show you another layout I made with that collection. You must think I am nuts but that is nothing because I always smell my new papers & embellishments…hehe am I the only one?? Or do you do that too?? Nyhavn does smell nice…..For today I made a layout more of a masculine one this time without any flowers which is really hard for me but I did it yeah!! I know it’s not my day to post as I normally post Friday’s but I am battling a nasty flue and I had to privileged to switch dates with the lovely Silje thank you so much sweety.

I feel very blessed to design for another chipboard manufacturer then that I have been doing for the last three years because the chippies are really amazing! They go very well with the “Nyhavn” collection for this layout I went with the grey, white and blue tones which look amazing with that picture I got from Pinterest.

Last week I bought the newest Finnabair mechanicals because I am a sucker for metal pieces on my layouts, cards and otp’s. I have to tell you they are amazing, really amazing so I guess you will be seeing a lot of them on my upcoming projects. Since I don’t have many pictures to scrap at the moment I found a cute one on Pinterest and I have to tell you Pinterest is my new best friend…..

Maja Design papers used: Sitting at the dock, Eating out, Old townhouse & Veteran ships.

Today I would also like to show you another layout I made with Maja Design papers this time I used the “Enjoying Outdoors” & “Nyhavn” collection. This layout is really feminine and I also took a picture from Pinterest.

Thank you so much for visiting the blog today and I would like to wish you a wonderful, creative & sunny day!

Love

Guest Designer Elena O

Hi everyone!

My name is Elena and in the scrapbooking world my nickname is Elena Arts.

Elena-Ovchinnikova

I was born in Russia but I have been living in Spain since 2000. I’m married and I have a little daughter who is my muse and the main source of my inspiration.

In 2012 I discovered Scrapbooking, and all my world changed.

I love creating a lot of beautiful things, especially I find myself in Mixed Media. I love textures, gesso, modelling pastes, paints, sprays, combine fabric with paper…

It is great to be able to do what you really love! I am very happy when I am creating and I feel full of the energy and the creativity in these moments.

I have made a notebook and albom in one. The idea was to create a notebook inspired by Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast with diamonds ” and done in the style Shabby Chick or Vintage.

Inside there are 48 sheets (96 pages) dipped in coffee and 18 sheets (36 pages) decorated for a photos, I also left a few sheets without the decoration. All the papers are from different collections of Maja Design, with their beautiful and elegant prints.

Mostly I have used papers from Nyhavn and Vintage Spring Basics. Nyhavn-P Vintage-Spring-Basics-P
I hope you like it 😉

Hello, today I am here to share with you, a LO I did using Maja Design’s Vintage Summer Basics Collection, using the pink & brown tones….

I used:1924-BS,1903,1903-BS, & from the Vintage Spring Basics I used: & 7th of April

The Chipboard used is from Dusty Attic

Shows, distressed hand stitched layers. I also did some punch work, & placed doily’s in the layers. Maja Design papers are the best quality, distressing papers, I have ever worked with!

I did some stencil work, using DA heart attack stencil, & dream weaver crackle texture..

On the feather I used clear crackle, then once the crackle dried I rubbed in some chalk to bring out the cracks. I also inked the edges using a brown ink pad…

The flowers used are Prima & IamRoses..

For the pink used on the chipboard I used shabby pink smooch. On the berries & the beads, on the feather charms,I also applied drops of glossy accents…

Here are some more close ups…

Let it Snow

From the Home for the Holidays I used: Welcome Winter, From the Vintage Frost Basics I used: 7th of December, 7th of Dec-BS, 6th of December, 5th of December & Days of Dec-BS

Hello dear friends! Its Evgenia Petzer with you today and I have made some projects and will now show them one by one to you.

So first come up the masculines projects. In Russia we celebrate the 23rd of February as the mens day, so I made some projects fro this them. As for me the Nyhavn collection has definitely some masculine part in it, so I used this limited collection for my projects. I added some random black stitching, some kraft die cuts and metal bits and pieces (Prima ones)

The next one is an altered box, inside of each there is a mini book, that says- 10 reasons why I love you.

And another easter card that I made using Vintage Spring Basics collection.

In this card the chipboard I have used is from Wycinanka and the lace is from Le Tresors De Luxe.

For the easter card I used the Vintage Spring Collection

and for the men’s projects I used the Nyhavn one

Have a lovely weekend

Perfect Together

Goodmorning everyone,

I am so amazed by the Maja design team and I still need to pinch myself sometimes that I am part of it. It’s always a blessing to work with these beautiful papers Marie designs. Today I would like to show you a layout I made with the “Nyhavn”collection I feel really sad that this is a limited edition one because the colors of the papers are very unique. For my layout I also used some beautiful chiffon flowers & lace by Tresors de Luxe which go great with the Nyhavn collection. The chipboard I used is by Creative Embellishments they have very romantic designs <3

The picture I used is one of my cousin Nicole {who lives in Florida} her teenage daughter & her boyfriend. Not so long ago he asked her to marry him and they are so crazy about each other. My cousin had her at a very young age {party girl} and I never would of imagine that she is the one who is so responsible and religious as she is. She is such a amazing young lady and I wish her all the happiness in the world.

I added some rub on words that I got at my local dollar store to give my layout a more personal touch. Not that long ago Nadene her grandmother {from her dad’s side} contacted me because she is also a scrapper and we had a lovely talk and this will be a present to her hope she will like it. I really love this picture of the two of them so adorable….

Maja Design papers used: Veteran ships, Eating out & Strolling along the Canal

Also I have some amazing news I have my first layout published in a real magazine called Scrap & Stamp Arts February/March issue. I have layouts published before but not in real magazines only online ones. So if I say amazing that will be a understatement I better say WOW WOW WOW thank you Scott Publication, Cheery Lynn Designs & Maja Design…this is the layout in the magazine made with the pretty “Enjoying Outdoors”collection.

I will show you my article when I get the magazine. Hope you all like my post today and thank you so much for your visit 😉

Love
