Dear Maja fans,

Thanks for visiting! Today you will get to know a really talented scrapper, named Mariusz Gierszewski. He is one of our most dedicated followers and he does real magic with Maja papers..

“My name is Mariusz Gierszewski and I come from Poland. I’m 24 and I’m a young man who love papers, flowers and scissors. I live in a small village – Modrzejewo in north Poland. My passions are scrapbooking, and cardmaking.

I want to say thank you for invitation as Guest Designer. This is a huge honor for me because Maja Design is one of my favorite company. I like this papers for the delightful design, nice colors and perfect grammage (they are very thick). A lot of the collection makes everyone can find something for yourself in Maja shops. I love create shabby projects with many flowers and layers and this is very easy with Maja papers because many of this papers is soft and pastels. I look forward to your projects 🙂

I’m the youngest Prima Marketing Educator and Graphic45 designer. First project I ever made was in August, 2012. My favorite styles are vintage and shabby. As always I was inspired by nature. I love making cards and albums, sometimes LO’s and mixed-media projects. Scrapbooking is my passion, love and life. ;-)”

Dear Maja-fans,

The autumn has arrived to Sweden and the temperature has fallen, as well as the leaves from the trees. I think that an awaited serenity arises, at this time of year. Time to print all the wonderful summer photos, make an inventory of your scrapping supplies – buy some Maja papers..? 🙂 It’s scrap time..!

And here is the new Mood Board:

Moodboard-September

And here’s a little reminder of what our mood boards are used for…

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 September 23rd. 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 September 23rd at the latest.

We will only publish creations that fullfill the requirements!

****

Now, it’s time to welcome our new Maja Team Member – Silje Kristin Aunan.

Silje is a really talented artist who specializes in altered projects. We are totally in love with her style and her wonderful and daring way to handle Maja papers.

Hello everyone 🙂
My name is Silje Kristin Aunan, I live in the north of Norway, in a town called Bodø. Here I live in a House with 2 girlfriends. I have my own crafting room with a bed 😉 I like to fish, be outside in the forest or on the top of mountains. I love a good book, take photos and I like to bake. But my true passion is Scrapbooking. 😀
I discovered scrapbooking in November 2013 and it changed my life.
It all began with a few Christmas cards and tags, made with Maja paper.
3D projects and special boxes soon became my favorite, I just love creating special new unusual projects. I feel an urge to create things that have never been done before. It makes me excited and time flies by so fast. It is like time does not exist while I am in the zone of creating ♥
From childhood I have always been very creative. I even studied pastry/cakes where I also could use my creativity.
I get inspired by things that surround me, nature, situations, feeling, weather; or ideas just pop up in to my head.
I prefer to create something unique. Pushing my own boundaries. So therefore I challenge myself to make “impossible” paper creations. “Nothing is impossible” is my mantra.
I love to use many different variations of paper, the more layers the merrier! Many details such as ribbons, charms, bling and lots of paper flowers. I can make projects simple but still detailed. My favorite is large detailed projects, and my style is mainly shabby chic/vintage.
And that is why the Maja Design paper is a favorite. I just love the papers, and what I can do with them, when I create my projects.
I hope I can inspire you all to tray things you never have done before, becuse I love to inspire crafters, and why not do it with lovely Maja Design Paper ♥

– A warm welcome to the Maja Family, Silje..!
You can enjoy her first post at the blog on September 6th.

We also want to say Hi! to Gabrielle who has been enjoying her summer break. You are so very welcome back..! ♥

And, don’t forget to participate in our Giveaway – #majadesign..! You can win a complete set of Summer Crush. Last day to participate is September 12th.

Have a lovely day!
