Hello!

Scandinavia is experiencing warmest Summer we’ve had for ages. That might not set you in the perfect mood for crafting but there will probably be a rainy day or two further on. Since this is a double month challenge you will have plently of time to make the deadline in the end of August. If you are new to our you will find the simple rules below. Don’t miss out! We would love to see how you 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 on the 28th of August.

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

Hello! Happy to see you here today!

It’s time to announce the winner of this month’s challenge. But first I’m gonna talk just a little bit more about the weather (we Swedes are know to do that a lot – and it seems to be working to make weather wishes here 😉 ) In March I asked for some well needed rain… I actually think it rained all April… So for May I wished for the sun to be shining – believe it or not – we’ve had the hotest May since they starded measuring! So just a little humble wish from me… please, please let this weather stay all summer…

No more weather talk – back to more important stuff!
A Big thank you to this month’s participants  – it’s a pleasure to get to see your artwork! ♥

A little reminder of how the Mood board looked like:

With our mood boards we want to inspire you to create. It can be anything you like, a card, a layout, something altered or maybe a mixed media canvas… We want you, in your own way, to capture the “feel” of the mood board. You can use all the colours or just pick one or two. And of course, your piece should primary be made out of MajaDesign papers!

So… what comes up in your mind when we give you this?
