Good morning, Maja Friends, welcome to the blog today 🙂

I don’t know about your places, but in Poland autumn more often than not is cool, rainy and windy (although we do have a term “golden Polish autumn”, meaning the warm time with all those fabulous colours!), with temperatures discouragin any outdoor activity 😉 So it’s the best time to curl up under a soft blanket, grab a cup of raspberry tea and indulge oneself in reading! And therefor for my today’s post I’m sharing two bookmarks I made for my sweet cousin and her husband 🙂

My cousin likes greens and purples, so I chose these colours from the Ska Vi Ta En Fika? collection for her bookmark and added golden accents:

I embossed the stamped Bible quotation with golden ep and then made a watercolour background using the embossing resist technique. I also tied some charms at the top:

The back side of the bookmark features gorgeous purple roses background, and my cousin’s initial and a stamped “I’m reading here” sentiment 🙂

The bookmark for her husband is made exactly in the same way, though I used a different stamp and colour palette, based on the Denim & Friends collection (love!). I also used decorative signature strips as borders:

And the back side:

And here’s what I used:

Maja Design papers:

Other: stamps: Prima Marketing, Lemonade, Art Parts; charms: Marianne Design, Rayher; dies: Crealies; inks: Ranger.

 

I do hope the bookmarks will make the reading even more pleasant for my family 🙂 What do you think?

See you later!

Hi Everyone,

Its Keren here and I created a layout for Maja Design using the new Denim & Friends collection. I used the “Fashion” paper as the background for the layout as its very light and matches any color.

I used the blue toned papers from the collection as I wanted to mimic the colors of the ocean in my picture. I really love creating beach themed layouts and this collection is perfect for it.

Here are some close-ups of my layout. I ripped some papers from the “Worn Indigo” and the “Jeans & T-shirt” papers to mimic the ocean waves. Then I used some Petaloo by Flora Craft flowers to embellish.

The gold script was created using the Rub-ons and Foil Accents from Prima and I added a few more gold highlights on the layout to tie it all in.

I used a chipboard by Blue Fern Studios that has a maritime theme and painted it in gold to match the rest of the layout.

Here are the papers I used from the Denim & Friends collection:

I just love this collection, as blue is my favourite colour to work with!

The image is a stamp from Stempelglede, and I have used Distress ink, re-inkers for my colouring.

Hello Sweeties

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new layout featuring the Denim and Friend collection. I chose another photo montage I’ve made. Oh I completely forgot to tell you that we have been specially sponsored by Petaloo by FloraCraft this week.

As usual, I primed the background with clear gesso. I mixed some Magical powder with 3D Glos gel to obtain a teal paste. I used this paste with a stencil to add a design on the background.

While the background was drying I colored some chipboard with different waxes. I cut some leaves in a watercolor paper that I painted with different inks.

I added some colors to the background that match the colors of the photomontage.

I cut a few paper to add under the photo and I glued some beautiful flowers from Petaloo along with the leaves I’ve die-cut.

To finish the layout I splattered some Glimmer Glam and I added some micro beads.

Hello Maja Friends,

for my today’s post I created 2 Layouts. Initially I planned to make only one, but you may know that sometimes when we our creative mind starts thinking it’s difficult to stop it. So I followed it and this is what I’ve reached.

Denim_LO_by_Elena_Olinevich_for_Maja_Design_00

The first one has no mixed media layers. I’ve only put several layers of paper and die cuts together.

Denim_LO_by_Elena_Olinevich_for_Maja_Design_1

I used the sentiment for my Lo, and I think that this little mistake make it too cute for the kid’s project.

Before I made this Layout, I’ve started with other background, I kept all the elements mostly.

I started with the paper, you can check it in my video clip.

and only then I added few paint drops.

I like these quilt patterns, that I made with Spellbinders dies.

and those torn circles look great for the boy layouts, don’t they?
