Hello everyone. I have noticed I started making more baby projects. It seems that my kids grow so fast that I want to stop the time and catch those moments of tiny toes , soft fingertips and so on.

However I have never sewn so many as I do at the moments. I guess some changes are coming.

Today I’ve come to share 2 Photo Frames I made using Vintage  Baby Collection. But they are not ordinary.

They are like accordion and you can put up to 4 pictures inside.

I didn’t want to add flowers as the emebllishments, I wanted to keep its simplicity

I think it’s a good idea to combine sewing and papercrafting, it makes the projects to be unordinary.

The size of the pages is approximately  6*4,5 inches  ( 15*12 cm), so you can easily use 6*6 paper pad for this kind of frames.

Hello Sweeties

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a mini-album featuring the Summertime collection. First I want to share with you the cover.

Album Cover by Pascale B.

I started to stamp randomly the fabric with a black archival ink to add some texture.

I fuzzy cut the tags from the By the sea – diecuts sheet. I also cut different papers and inked the edges with a brown Distress Ink.

I assembled the papers together and added a thread to the tags. I also added a piece of doily and flowers.

I added some glass beads and micro beads. I finished with a touch of blue color.

Hello Maja Friends,

do you enjoy your Summertime?

I do. I had a great vacation and now I am happy to start crafting again.

and for my today’s post I made a very simple but cute mini album, inspired by strawberries, fields, wild herbs and other advantages of the summertime.

I used the new released Summertime collection and I am in love with it  ( as well as with the rest of the collections too).

This time I tried to use only red and green papers, though the collection has wonderful blue ones. I kept them for the future sea inspired projects.

I used minimum of the embellishments, as I wanted to showcase how beautiful the papers are

Hello Maja Fans,

Recently, I have noticed that I started making more projects for babies and kids. It’s such a pleasure to think about all those tiny noses, fingers.

However I like doing them not obviously baby, I like to making them soft, delicate and floral.

This time I created an album for a newborn girl. You will be surprised but I didn’t use Baby Vintage collection, though it is a perfect one for such kind of projects, I took Vintage Spring Basics.
I have already done it several times before and I still think it is so beautiful to use it for the babies.

I made several pages and used many of the embellishments

Good Morning, Maja Friends,

How are you going to spend your summer? as for me , we have planned a trip by car to Europe and we will visit some beautiful places there. I hope I will make tons of phots to scrap during the year.

So that is why I decided to make something, that will be perfect for a trip theme. Here is my Castle Mini Album

I found a fancy chipboard mini album, castle shape in my stash. so I thought it would be a nice idea to use it finally.

My choice was for Nyhavn collection, so great for your trip and travel projects. Once I have laready made the album with it, this time I had a very interesting shape for it.

I used only paper die cuts and some chipboard pieces, I didn’t want it to be a busy one, as I am still planning to add some pages for making the notes, so it’s a kind of travel book I would say.

However I made some flaps and photo frames, to fill it with the future pictures.

I also made some stamped embellishments, so easy and fast.
