Baby Floral Album

16 September, 2016 - Enjoying Outdoors, Mini albums, Vintage Spring Basics, Vintage Summer Basics

Hello Maja Friends, it’s Elena here with you today.

You know that I enjoy creating albums and other stuff for the babies. However I do like when it doesn’t look too baby,that is why I am searching for dig=fferent ways how to add other embellishments , flowers ,lace and so on, so that it can be used for the baby at the same time.

It’s really fun and you don’t need speacial baby papers.

This time I combined some of my favorite papers form different collections. and I guess that still look simple and match each other perfectly.

I made many flaps, envelops and tags – I do like when the album is like a Lego, you know)))

There are many pages and details in it, I don’t want to bother you with all of them, I will show only a few.

Even if you make something for the girls you don’t need to keep it absolutely pink. I like adding teal and blue too.

However few flowers is a good adition

Don’t throw you negative die cuts, they can be an awesome embellishment.

too accents that this album is devoted to a baby

Purple is still my favorite color, I can not miss it.

I hope you have enjoyed my album as I had such an excitement to create it.

You can also take a video tour

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…..

Maja Design papers used: Sitting at the dock {Nyhavn}, Badlakan {Sommartider}, 8th of April, 9th of April, 10th of April, 11th of April & 7th of April {Vintage Spring Basics}.

Some LOVE With Love Hearts

Hello Everyone <3

Today I made a little special project that you can give to someone you whant to do something specal for.
What I ‘ve done is I’ve decorated Love Hearts on a little creative way, as a small special gift <3

The sheets I’ve used, I have taken from The Vintage Spring Basic

The three paper sheets I have used is:
1st of May, 2nd of May og 5th of May

It all began with a pack of Love Hearts, so I decided to buy two more. When I had bought the candies, I decided to choose the paper to my project.

I measured them and used a punch from Martha Stewart to make a little special edge. I inked the paper with Ground Espresso, from the Distress Ink series.

To keep the pattern sheets in place, I have used white wax tread around and attachead it with a white button with a bow. I have spent 3 buttons on eatch of them.

In each roll you will find a package of Love Hearts <3

To keep all of the rollers in place, I used the same pattern sheets around the Love Hearts.

At the edges I have used the same punch that I’ve used on the rollers, that will be located inside of the small containers. Here I have iked the edges.

The flowers I have used are from Papirdesign and Wild Orchids.
Under the flowers I have used a cheese cloth and one small metal sign from Prima with the word LOVE on.

When the Love Hearts is inside the small container, you see that some of the buttons with the bow appears on each side, and how the colors are consistent relative to the flowers.

Then You got a little gift idea you can make to someone You love <3

Hello beautiful Maja fans! I am back with a birthday card to a dear friend of mine. For this card I have used the lovely Vintage Romance collection.

I just love the flowery papers, and I can’t have enough of them:) The tags, balloons, tassels, flowers and pennants are all made with DooHickey dies from Magnolia (box vol 5).

The cute butterflies are cut out from a sheet from the Vintage Spring Basics collection. I cut them out, ink the sides with Distress Ink pad, Walnut Stain, and add some Stickles Star Dust onto the edges of the wings.

Under the homemade flowers I have put some sissal grass. And behind the image I have put some cheese cloth, a corrugated paper (painted with gesso) and a frame made with a Oval Spellbinder die.

I just love the tassels, so had to add some on this card aswell 😉

I have added some Stickles Star Dust to the balloons aswell. And on the letters I have added some Crackle paint. On the flowers and here and there on the flowers I have painted with white Gesso. The shape of the card is made with a GoKreate die. And I have sewed the edges with my sewing machine. The leaves are from Magnolia. Laces and doilies from LLC.

Here you can see the card from the side. I always sew the pattern papers on to bazzill Vanilla. The card is Bazzill Craft. The postmarks are made with stamps from Stempelglede. I have coloured the image with Distress Ink, re-inkers and Markers.

Here is the list of the papser used:

: Walk with me

: Passion

: Love poetry

: 6th of May

Thanks a lot for visiting the Maja Blog!

Hugs,

Happy LO

Hello Hello!

I have a LO to share today that created using 3 of Maja’s beautiful Collections.

Yet another reason I adore Maja papers… completely versatile and fabulous!

I chose the butterfly pattern paper because it happens to be one of my faves and it paired beautifully with the wood grain pattern and lots of torn edges.
