Happy March everyone!

Here in Scandinavia March means winter is slowely releasing it’s grip of the Season and as the days get longer nature whispers the promise of Spring’s arrival.
We would like to celebrate this wonderful time of the year with a Mood board Challenge filled with excitement of spring. So bring out your craft stash, find some MajaDesign sheets of the right colors and join in! You have the chance to win a whole MajaDesign collection and as always you are free to pick your own favourite. This is your inspiration for this challenge:

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 truly believe in creativity and art at Maja Design and you are free to interpret the Mood board 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. You can use all of the colors, or only one of them – that’s up to you.

How to participate?

♥ Create anything you like – a layout, a card, something altered or maybe a canvas. Use MajaDesign papers primarily!

♥ Take a nice picture of it and send it to moodboard@majadesign.nu. 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.

♥ 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, thank you.

♥ 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 on the 28th, at the MajaDesign 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 entry by the 24th of March at the latest.

And some lovely inspiration from our amazing Creative Team;

Happy crafting,

Happy February everyone!

Are you up for a challenge? We hope you are because we have happy news; – our monthly Mood board challenge is back!
We have just made a small change in the schedule, this year we will publish the new mood board on the 1st of each month and the winner will be announced on the 28th. There is no change in the prize though… If you play along you have the chance to win a MajaDesign collection of your own free choice, so make sure not to miss out!

If you are new to this challenge or if you need a refresher, this is how we use the mood boards:

Have in mind that these challenges are a really great way for us to discover new talents and maybe some future Creative Team members…
