Winter is knocking on the door…

Here in the northern Europe it is still autumn and we can still enjoy quite bright days outside and be amazed by all the autumn-like colours the nature brings. However, the winter is knocking on the door and will soon embrace us with white snow, coldness and crispy air. Nothing bad about that, I love winter time..! Go sledding with the kids, make beautiful things in the fine, white snow – like snow angels, caves to cuddle in and snowmen with carrots as noses.. And then, head inside to enjoy a nice cup of warm chocolate in front of the fire place.. I think you really enjoy being inside more, when it’s chilly outside – actually you enjoy both worlds even more. ♥

Our newest collection is taking us outside to hang with the snowmen, meet the reindeer and say a quick hello at the mysterious old man with the white, long beard who has arrived with a huge sack on his shoulder…
We watch the snowflakes fall from the sky, in all it’s different shapes and sizes.
We head inside, to warm ourselves in front of the stove, as we’re baking some gingerbreads to enjoy later on. During the evening we’re munching on our freshly baked pastries while we’re wrapping some presents for our beloved ones.. We are wallowing in different patterns and beautiful lacings.

You wanna join? Welcome! ♥

This collection will soon show up in a store near you..
What do you think – something for you? Let us know your thoughts!

Hello!

It’s all of the sudden October and time for a new Mood Board challenge.
This time we follow the colour theme of the new collection “Enjoying Outdoors” and find our inspiration in the nature. Are you up for a new challenge? We are very excited to see your creations, I can assure you that. 🙂

I will also take the opportunity to remind you of the rules, please read them and follow. Thanks!

Here it is:

Moodboard-October

And a little reminder of 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. They are all inspired by a Maja collection, but you are free to use any Maja papers you’d like as long as they follow the colour scheme. We highly encourage you to follow the theme of the mood board as well.

We will be presenting all participating creations that fulfill the requirements below October 28th. We will also draw a winner who will be winning a Maja Design collection of their own choice in 6×6 or 12×12.

After your creation is done, take a photo and send it to moodboard@majadesign.nu without any watermarks. Please make sure that your picture is the size of 600×600 dpi. We would be so grateful if you also could change the file name of the photo to your first and last name. Please feel free to send us more than one picture, but NOTE that we need them as a photo collage (also the size 600×600 dpi). Include your full name, address and phone number in the e-mail together with what collection you would like if you win. Don’t forget to write down if you would like 6×6 or 12×12.
We need your creation October 28th at the latest.

We will only publish creations that fullfill the requirements!

And some lovely inspiration from our fabulous team:

Enjoying Outdoors – new collection..!

I’m heading outside to enjoy the fresh air and all the wonderful colours in the nature.. I grab my lilac rubber boots, my hat and my favorite umbrella. It’s like my grandmother always used to say “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes”.. In Swedish this is an old saying that actually rhymes so nice (“Det finns inget dåligt väder, bara dåliga kläder”).

And it’s so true..! I wouldn’t miss this time of year, for the world..!

In my picnic basket I have some tea and muffin, and of course also my camera. You’ll never know how long I’ll be away and what I’ll might find on the way…

Here in Scandinavia, the nature will soon go into its winter sleep and we will embrace every last of its spectacular drama, photograph the beautiful different hues and make it into wonderful memories in our scrapbooks..

Our new collection is all about that – autumn, nature, garden, whimsical weather and magnificent colours.

And some inspiration for a first craft project with this fabulous new collection…
