Dear Maja friends,

“Better late than never” – right..? 😉

We have had some time off from the office, enjoying the Swedish summertime. This has made the mood board a bit delayed, but no worries – you will have plenty of time creating your share to the challenge.

I also want to share a little secret with you.. You see the little girl in the photo below..? That’s actually my beloved niece. Isn’t she just adorable? ♥

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 September 26th.

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

 

How to participate?

♥ Create anything you’ll like – a layout, a card, something altered or maybe a canvas. Use Maja papers primarily! Take a nice picture of it and send it to moodboard@majadesign.nu. 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. 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.

♥ 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 the last Monday each month, at the Maja 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 creation September 22nd at the latest.

Thank you & Good luck!

A huge congrats to you, Tineke..! Beautiful card, perfect match to the mood board. Love it..!
A collection of your choice is coming your way.

Thank to all the participants. ♥

From next week, we will have a little summer break here at the Maja office – and this means there will be no mood board in July. The next mood board will be in the beginning of August – so don’t miss that..!

Hugs from us.

And we will keep asking new guests to play along, during this whole year. In fact – these monthly challenges are a really great way for us to discover new talents – both guest designers but also future members for the Creative Team – so, please have that in mind when you send us your creations.. 😉
We really enjoy seeing your projects – both here in the mood board challenge, but also at our Facebook site, at Instagram or Pinterest. Please continue to share your work, tag us in your photos and don’t forget to comment if you see something else you like. ♥
