Garden Plant Combo 2015

22 October, 2015 - Cards, Enjoying Outdoors, Layouts, Vintage Baby, Walking in the Forest

Hello,today I am here to share with you a LO I did, using photos, of some of my favorite plants, I use in my garden. The color of our home is in the rust tones, so that is why I go with the rusty orange tones with purples. Last week we just finished putting the garden to rest for the winter, so now I guess, I will be spending a lot more time Scrapbooking….

I used: Beautiful Trees-BS, Garden Creatures, Garden notes, Scent of Lavender, Time for reflection, Colourful,Tags & journaling cards

I used: Mountain Ash-BS

Chipboard used is from Dusty Attic

Shows distressed paper layers, that I inked the edges. I also did some hand stitching. On the film strip I used Dusty Attic rusting powder (this is pretty close to the color of our home). I first painted the leafy scroll with clear crackle, then played with LuminArt H2O’s to add the color. The tiny roses are I am Roses….

I used the journaling tags for the title….

The first,2nd, plus the 5th photo used in the film strip are of ,Petunia Autumn Mystery. It is a new plant out for 2015,& I love how every flower is different on this plant going from the purple to orange tones.

I also use lots of purple fountain grass, I love it when the sun is behind it, & how it moves with a breeze. Another fav is Coleus Sedona, because of the rust color that has a purple hue in it.

With having the garden at rest, I also spent many hours on planning the garden for 2016, & I am looking forward to the changes that I have made.

Here are a couple Baby cards I made using the Vintage Baby Collection….

I used:Welcome little one, Adorable-BS,New arrival, Die cuts,journaling cards blue & BS’s of labels

Chipboard used is from Dusty Attic

My last post I did a photo tut on the easel card. I scanned the chipboard used on both cards, printed it on regular paper, attached that to the Maja papers, using a non permanent, sticky tape. I then cut out the pieces, inked the edges & glued them onto the chipboard.

I used from the Vintage Baby:I used:expecting, flowers for mum,flowers for mum-BS, It’s a girl, It’s a girl-bs, Baby Shower-BS,our little miracle, Die cuts & BS’s of labels

Well hello sweet Maja fans,

I am so happy you decided to visit the blog today. This time I’d like to share a couple of projects I made with several Maja Design paper collections, first up is my latest layout using the magnificent stencil designed by our very own Gabrielle “Moving Vines” they totally spice up your layout WOW. Thank you Gabrielle for creating such wonderful designs for us to use. Last week I heard some bad news my aunt from California {who is the wife to my grandfather’s brother} died and we now have a Facebook page of her memorial. On that page they showed this wonderful picture that of course I had to scrap 😉 I am totally hooked on pictures like this, Aunt {Norma} Noor like we called her is the second on the right! This picture is dated back in the fourties. Amazing right??

For this layout I used the amazing “Vintage Autumn Basics” collection which still is one of my all time favorite collections by Maja Design. The flowers are handmade with a wonderful die by Cheery Lynn Designs {where I will be designing for again after being away to focus on my study where now I have my diploma for yeahhhh}

This design is actually a design I made before using other papers from a different company but it totally came out differently. I used three layers as the base of my layout and then put some amazing Tresors de Luxe lace behind the tears to give it more dimension.

After that I stamped and sprayed before pasting the moving vines on my page. Don’t you just love the clock sheet in this amazing collection you can just pop them out everywhere on your page, card & altered projects.

I gave all my chipboard pieces a white finish to match the lace I used. At first I wanted to used flowers that I bought but that didn’t matched my papers as I had hoped. That’s what’s great about making your own flowers it’s really time consuming but hey it keeps me of the the streets right?? LOL……:-)

Maja Design papers used:

Today I’d also like to show you a card I made with the “Vintage Baby” collection. It’s a flip card I made for a baby boy. So I used the blue, cream, light brown tones in this collection. This was a super easy card to make because it’s made with a die, so you don’t have to measure it because it’s already in the size you need it to be. Does that make sense?

Look at that cute teddy bear and little shoes aren’t they adorable…if you would like to make this card I could give you the sizes just tell me in a comment and I will reply as quickly as I can.

In two weeks is my next post and the I will show you some typical boy’s pages which I am totally into the last couple of months {I also use flowers on them hehe}. Thank you so much for your visit and have a great creative weekend!

Love

Hello dear friends! Its Evgenia Petzer with you today. You know, that I love to create cards and today’s post is no exception, its again me with cards. This time I have pulled out the Vintage Baby collection and made 2 cards- one for a baby girl and another for a baby boy.

As you will see both of the cards use the same sketch and both of them use my tiny paper scraps, that I had and of course I just couldn’t through them away. This also provided me with the patchwork effect that I love in shabby style.

some close ups: lots of layering that I achieved with papers and lace, buttons.

Now its a turn for a baby boy card%

Have a lovely week,

A Lovely Christening Present

Today it is a great day.

Today it’s time for me to publish my first post for Maja Design and this I have been looking forward to.

In this Edition of Ett Trykk (Norwegian Scrapbooking Magazine), I have a box and a baby mobile with small mini 3D plane. Both of these are made with beautiful pattern paper from Maja Design. This are a great christening gift, whether to give it to a Baby Girl, Baby Boy or Baby Twins <3

This was originally a black box, inside of it there was a birtday gift from a very good friend. I unpacked the gift and desided to do something about the box.

On the Box I have used a lovely pattern from a great series called Nyhavn, the paper called Sitting at the Dock. One side of the sheet looks like marble and characterizes most of the box. In the corners I have used the other side and a punch from Martha Stewart to get some pattern in the corners.

I’ve spent four silver feet which I have placed in the corners in the bottom of the box. A white I have placed in the corners in the bottom of the box. A white pearl cord attached in between stance and up round the box as well. At the bottom of the lid I have a lovely white ribbon around.

On the top of the lid I made one small plateau in the same paper that I have used on the box. Before I glued it, I used one sheet from The Vintage Baby Paper Pad, on the top, then I attached the small plateau. Here I have also used whith pearl string and the same white ribbon.

Up on the plateau, I have one pair of baby shoes. On the shoes I have used the clear Wink of Stella Brush, for a glittery effect. The baby shoes are decorated alike, besides the blue and pink button of a bear and the bling on the bow.

On each side of the box I’ve decorated in typical girl and boy color. Blue and Pink. These are flowers from Wild Orchids.

In between the flowers I have used two different leaf dies from Memory Box.

On each side, I have used a pink and blue safety pin, as an little detail <3

On the back of the shoes I have made a large bow of a lace from kaBoks <3

On the bow, I have attached a large white butterfly, this is a sett of dies from BoBunny. I’ve also attached one on the front of the box as well.

You open up the lid, you will also see the same ribbon I have used on the outside of the box.

Below it, I glued white pearl string. This I have done because the baby mobile I have made will fit in the box, and the lid must not go so far down.

Nyhavn-P

Then over to the gift <3

I have created a baby mobile which one can have over a child bed. This Baby Mobile is created with 8 small mini planes, created by The Vintage Baby Paper Pad. Four plane are made in pink tones and four are decorated in the blue tones. None of the planes are equal.

The planes hang down with fishing line, which is attached to the inside of the planes.

This is a tutorial I have developed my self, Here is a link to a larger plane in my Blog.

On the planes you will find detals like wax thread, half pearls and wood.

This is the Baby Mobile along with the box <3

A lovely Christening presents <3

Hello Maja fans! Today, I would like to share with you all an altered baby box using Maja Design Vintage Baby collection.

This box is originally just a recycled transparent plastic box. I’ve covered it with pattern papers on the outside as well as inside on the box. I’ve just measured and trace each piece separately and later attached them to the box. To cover the seams, I simply used some washi tape.

Here are some details on it.To give it a softer look, I’ve added strip of lace and pearls around the cover of the box. I’ve also added some flowers to it.This is such a fun project to make! Hope you all like it and see you all again soon!

Supplies Used: Pattern Papers: Maja Design 6 x 6 Vintage Baby Collection; Others: Petaloo flowers, pearls, lace, button and adhesives.
