Hi everybody,
Today we will say thanks and goodbye to our talented Delaina. She has decided to step down from the team in order to take on new exciting challanges in life. We will truly miss her and her wonderful creations.
This is a selection of gorgeous pieces from the past year, all created by Delaina, of course;
Thank you so much for this wonderful time..!
We’ll see you out there. ♥
Jennifer Snyder here to thanking more of our wonderful Facebook fans. More fans, more tagging, means more folks to feature and thank. We want to celebrate and feature followers who regularly share their art by “tagging ” us on Facebook.
If you would like to learn all about “tagging” and to see the other amazing talented artist followers who have been featured, you can find them here:
Meet Kristina Peshko.
“I am very excited and enjoy for the second time, to be writing for a blog that inspires me. My name is Kristina and I have been following Maja Design for three years now. I live in Russia, in the Urals, city of Yekaterinburg. I have two favorite boys, my husband Alexander and son Maxim.
Most of all, I love creating scrapbook albums, but I like to do everything from small to complex, participate in exchanges, alter books, and create canvases. “
I asked Kristina what her favorite collection was. Very difficult choice for her but she said it was probably Vintage Summer Basics because it was the first collection she saw from Maja Design. You can see more of Kristina’s work on her blog found right here.

Meet Maryvonne Cousse.
“I am French. I live in Normandy, about two hours from Paris and I love my little corner of countryside with trees, flowers and birds. I am passionate about scrapping – mostly making cards, tags and home decor.
I am married to a wonderful companion, the love of my life, for 40 years. I also have a great daughter.
Scrapping is a great opportunity for me to create and dream. I love vintage and shabby style. I love love love Maja Design.”
Maryvonne’s favorite collection is “Enjoying Outdoors” and her blog can be found here.

Meet Jytte Grund Jensen.
“I live in Odder Denmark. I enjoy making cards but I also enjoy playing with Mixed Media. I mostly make cards and do not have a favorite color combination. I just love all colors. It is very difficult to pick a favorite Maja Design collection…they are all so beautiful But “Ska vi ta en Fika?” and “Vintage Summer Basics” are both very , very lovely collections. With these collections I can make cards for any occasion.”

Once again – thank you to all our devoted Facebook fans who help spread the word about Maja Design around the world. We continue to grow because of you!
Dear Maja fans,
Thanks for stopping by today. I guess you are curious of the new mood board.. This month we’ll go with the theme and colours from our latest collection “I Wish”. Haven’t you had the pleasure of playing with it yet? No worries, play along in this challenge, with your other Maja papers that match the colours, and hopefully you will win a whole collection of “I Wish” – or any other of your favorites.
This is how we use the mood boards:
Definition mood board – n
[a board used by designers on which samples of various colours and textures are mounted to help in deciding which elements complement each other]
We are using mood boards for our challenges. We truly believe in creativity and art at Maja Design. You are free to interpret the mood boards in any way you’d like. They are supposed to set you in an inspirational mood without too much controlling. We would like you to be inspired by the poems, words and photos. They are not given rules, they are just there as inspiration. However – we highly recommend you to follow the theme.. Feel free to use any Maja papers you’d like as long as they follow the colour scheme.
We will pick a winner and present it here on the blog November 28th.
Have in mind that these challenges are a really great way for us to discover new talents and maybe some future Creative Team members…
How to participate?
♥ Create anything you’ll like – a layout, a card, something altered or maybe a canvas. Use Maja papers primarily! Take a nice picture of it and send it to moodboard@majadesign.nu. We also need to know your full name, address and a phone number. Please specify what collection you would like to win, if you are the lucky one. We will also want to know if you would like it in the size 12*12 or 6*6. Please send us the pictures in the size of 800 pixels on the width. We would be so grateful if you also could change the file name of the photo to your first and last name including your country.
♥ Feel free to send us more than one picture, from different angles or some close-ups – or why not more than one project?
♥ Publish the project/s on your blog (or/and any social media, e.g. Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest) with a link to our site. Please also add the image of the mood board.
♥ Feel free to combine your entry with other challenges.
♥ The winner will be revealed the last Monday each month, at the Maja blog. The winner will be sent one collection by their choice, and also a digital Winner’s Badge to use and brag with.
We need your creation November 24th at the latest.
Thank you & Good luck!
