Hi everyone and a Happy New Year to you all! I hope you have had a lovely Christmas and New Year. Here in Norway we have been focusing about mental health and that we should all care about the people around us. Say hi to someone you don’t usually speak to, go visit someone you haven’t been to lately, and just take the time to see other people. Our king had a great speak to all Norwegians on New Years eve, amongst other things that life is fragile and that trust is important. But to my card. Here I have used lovely papers from what I think must be my favourite collection, the Summertime collection.

Here is Tilda on a rainy day. I have used Distress Ink for my colouring. And I have used Magnolia dies to cut out all the parts with gorgeous papers from the Summertime collection. At the end of the post I have also added some creations with the new papers from the Little Street Cafe.

I have added some spots around the image with Frantage and Liquid pearls. And I have also painted with white Gesso on the papers and flowers.

Here is also some cheese cloth behind the image.

Remember to take care of each other.

Here are some creations with the Little Street Cafe papers. I hope you like them!

A decorated paper bag.

A small pop up card.

A folder card.

A book card.

I am so grateful to be on these team, and to be able to play with all the most beautiful papers in the world! I wish you all a good weekend when it comes. Take care!

With love,

In the waiting room

Hi everyone! I am back after some problems with my computer, but now it is fixed and as good as it gets. I made two cards with the gorgeous (and maybe my favorite collection) Summertime papers.  I just love the red and pink papers, so beautiful!

This card is a frame card, where I have made a frame, and put it on a card. I have used Malins tutorial. But I have started with a Bazzill Vanilla papers measuring 19 x 19 cm. Then scored it twice at one cm. The “frame” is measuring 3 cm. You will get this when you look at Malins tutorial 😉 The middle of the frame is measuring 9 x 9 cm.

As you can see we are at the doctors waiting room. Maybe you have had a toothache so bad that you went to the doctor as Tilda here has? Or is it the hospital? Anyway the nurse is ready to help them both 🙂

The flowers (Waterlilies) are also made with the lovely papers from the Summertime Collection. The images, dies and text are from Magnolia.

I have coloured the images with Distress Ink, re-inkers and Markers.

Thank you so much for visiting the Maja blog today!

With love,

Summer in Poppies

Hello Maja Fans,

 

Fall is here. My favorite season, but I am still reviewing the memories of this summer. So here is my Layout that I made with the shot taken last days of August.

I like spending the time at our country side house . The flowers and plants there inspire me for a long dull winter days, so I decided to create stamped poppies and colored them with Copics

I mixed different collections there and focused mostly on the smooth colors of green , red and yellow.

I also made some die cutting using Maja papers to create the leaves for my stamped flowers.

It was easy to make choosing the olive and chest nut tones for the die cuts.

Hope my today\s post will warm you if the weather is rainy and foggy .

 

I’m happiest with You.

Hello Sweet Maja  Fans

Lenet here , and today I bring you this card made with the blue papers of the Summertime Collection.

I love this collection, it really gives me the summer out door feel of beach and long bike rides , picknicks all that sorth of summer outdoor activities .

At the moment it’s not really outdoor weather , rain  and not warm.

Hope summer weather will return soon , so I can enjoy being outside again.

 

here a close up from the cardtopper , I made it using the big rosette die from tim holtz with a glitter heart from Melissa Frances on top.

Added little wings from my own stash behind it , on top a Hydrangea from Prima marketing and a little vintage button to complete it.

I hope you like  the card I made for you this time, wish you a wonder full Summer don’t forget to come back again to see what the other Maja Girls have made for you.

Hello Maja Design Fans, hope you are enjoying your Summertime, as I do

I am looking forward to my vacation by the Sea, and reviewing the pictures taken past Summer.

I did some fussy cutting from the papers Summertime collection. I like it has the florals and marine theme papers.

 

I also used the die cut frames to create the place for my 3 photo cards and made some coloring on the background

I’ve added only 2 flowers as the embellishments. The papers are great to create your own embellishments , I like especially the bicycles.
