Hello Sweeties

Today, I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new layout made with different paper collections. You will see how easy it is, to mix them all.

Snails by Pascale B.

I used the Wind in the air paper from the Summertime collection as background. As usual I primed it with clear gesso before adding a design with a stencil and clear crackle paste.

When dry, I added some colors with twinkling H2Os that match the photo.

I chose different papers from different collection to add under the photo: a dark blue from from the Vintage Autumn Basics collection and two brown-green from the Enjoying Outdoors collection. I distressed the edges.

Then I started to build the layout: I started to glue the papers, then I added progressively all the elements starting by the biggest and finishing with the smallest (the leaves).

When happy with the result, I added some micro beads.

Hello Sweeties

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new set of cards featuring the Nyhavn collection.

Nyhavn's Cards by Pascale B.

I used the same background paper (Strolling along the canal) on both card and added the same design with a stencil and two metallic paints: one gold the other one silver.

On both card, I added a piece of the Old Townhouses paper as well as a piece of the Historical atmosphere paper.

On this one, I added yellow roses and leaves die-cut in the Enjoying Outdoors papers.

On the second card, I added blue and pink roses.

The two cards, even if they were made with the same papers, look totally different just because I’ve used two different colors of embellishments.

Today..

Hello Maja fans, welcome to the blog. Today I have a layout to share with you that I have created using some papers from the “Enjoying Outdoors” collection.

today 2

For the main background I have used the “Beautiful Trees” paper from that collection. Such a lovely shade of earthy green, my favourite colour. 🙂

All of the chipboard I have used is from 2Crafty Chipboard.

Today 3

I cut a tag out of the “Tags & Journalling” paper, also from the same collection too & popped it in among my layers.  I have also used lots of gorgeous flowers too.

Today 4

If you look close you will see I have actually scrunched the paper a little, I wet it under the tap, scrunched it up like this & then dried it off. Wetting it just makes it easier to do this technique. When dry I also distressed the edges a little as well. It just creates a nice textural element to the layout I think.

Today 5

After doing that I then stuck it to a piece of the “Woodlands” paper, from the same collection. I think the stripe makes such a nice contrast. I also used some of the “Woodlands” stripe behind the photo too.

Today 6

I have listed the papers used below. Hope this helps you.

The one on the left is the “Woodlands” paper, the middle one is the “Beautiful Trees” paper & the one on the right is the “Tags & Journalling Cards”. These are all from the Enjoying Outdoors collection.

Until next time.

Hi my name is Di Garling. I am married to a very patient man, I have two grown up sons, two grandchildren & a little dog. I owned & operated a Scrapbook shop for eight years here in Australia until I recently sold it & retired. I think retirement is the best kept secret. I love it, it gives me lots of time to enjoy my craft. I still teach scrapbooking & cardmaking once or twice a week, so all in all I am as busy as ever & wouldn't have it any other way.

Perfect

Hi everyone. Today I have my latest layout to share with you.
I am loving purple lately and the Enjoying Outdoors Collection is jammed pack full of the most gorgeous purple papers. Here is a layout I created with these papers.
I chose the paper Late Summer Flowers (bs) for my background, I added texture with 2 different stencils, one using texture paste mixed with purple mica an the other with white texture paste.
I treated my chipboard with white crackle paste
I used the papers Time for Reflection (bs) and Scent of Lavender to layer behind my photo. Then I cut two tags from the Tags & Journalling cards paper to tuck in. Finally I cut some purple butterfly images from the Garden Creatures paper to add to my page.
I finished the page by adding flowers, a resin frame, liquid pearls and a title coloured with white and purple embossing powder.

Hello There!

It’s my turn to share here on Maja’s wonderful Blog. I am excited each time I  to look through all the

beautiful papers and pick a few to create with. This time I chose pretty pink, cream and purple prints from the

Enjoying Outdoors collection. I adore scripts and damask prints, so this is a perfect creative combination

for my to get to play with.

I have added a few flowers, bling, and twine to complete my page!

I simply wound twine on my hand loosely and place it in a few key spots to have a balanced look

and over all color movement.

Flower clusters with bling and a wood title add sweet finished touches, along with layers of gorgeous Maja papers!
