Hi everyone!

My name is Elena and in the scrapbooking world my nickname is Elena Arts.

Elena-Ovchinnikova

I was born in Russia but I have been living in Spain since 2000. I’m married and I have a little daughter who is my muse and the main source of my inspiration.

In 2012 I discovered Scrapbooking, and all my world changed.

I love creating a lot of beautiful things, especially I find myself in Mixed Media. I love textures, gesso, modelling pastes, paints, sprays, combine fabric with paper…

It is great to be able to do what you really love! I am very happy when I am creating and I feel full of the energy and the creativity in these moments.

Elena Arts

I have made a notebook and albom in one. The idea was to create a notebook inspired by Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast with diamonds ” and done in the style Shabby Chick or Vintage.

Inside there are 48 sheets (96 pages) dipped in coffee and 18 sheets (36 pages) decorated for a photos, I also left a few sheets without the decoration. All the papers are from different collections of Maja Design, with their beautiful and elegant prints.

Mostly I have used papers from Nyhavn and Vintage Spring Basics. Nyhavn-P Vintage-Spring-Basics-P
I hope you like it 😉

Don’t forget to share your Maja creations with us at the Facebook page..!) Here in northern Europe the weather is a bit whimsical at the moment, with both warmth and snow alternately. Despite the weather I can’t help getting some Spring fever.. 😉

This fever makes me quite generous actually, so I feel I need to give away a whole collection of Vintage Spring Basics..! You wanna have it in your possession?

Mood board February

1 February, 2016 - Mood boards

Hello!

Today it’s time for a new mood board challenge, and this time I really think Marie has outdone her self. I’m totally in love with this one. What do you think??

I am sooo curious of how you would interpret this mood board..!

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 February 29th.

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, 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 picture 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 Febuary 25th at the latest.

Thank you & Good luck!

And here is some fabulous inspirational project from our talented Creative Team:
