Hello!

What happend? It’s March already, and I still can’t figure out what happened with Christmas..?! 😛
Anyhow, it’s time for a new mood board challenge -YEAY..! And this time we have a special treat for you. We have invited a special guest to make an inspirational project for this mood board. We say Welcome to Diana Adamski..! Thanks for joining us this month!

Diana-Adamski

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. ♄

Here is the mood board for March:

MB-March16

Don’t you just love it? 🙂 I surely do..

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 March 28th.

A huge congrats to you! Your card is absolutely wonderful. ♄

We love the way Katie has interpreted this month’s Mood board. There is a Clock, the word “friendship” in typewriting, texture in the background and the colours are just perfect! Lucky one that gets this card!

A well deserved prize is coming your way, Katie..!

Next mood board challenge will be announced next Monday – don’t miss that..!

See you soon!

Dear visitors,

It’s already November and the lovely Christmas time is approaching fast. This is the absolute high season for us scrappers, cardmakers and all other kind of crafters, and we totally get lost in all the wonderful creating opportunities that we are offered this time of year.
We are hoping to inspire you some extra, with this wonderful Mood Board challenge..

Moodboard-November

 

And a little reminder of 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. They are all inspired by a Maja collection, but you are free to use any Maja papers you’d like as long as they follow the colour scheme.

We highly encourage you to follow the theme of the mood board as well.

We will be presenting all participating creations that fulfill the requirements below November 25th. We will also draw a winner who will be winning a Maja Design collection of their own choice in 6×6 or 12×12.

After your creation is done, take a photo and send it to moodboard@majadesign.nu without any watermarks. Please make sure that your picture is the size of 600×600 dpi. We would be so grateful if you also could change the file name of the photo to your first and last name. Please feel free to send us more than one picture, but NOTE that we need them as a photo collage (also the size 600×600 dpi). Include your full name, address and phone number in the e-mail together with what collection you would like if you win. Don’t forget to write down if you would like 6×6 or 12×12.
We need your creation November 25th at the latest.

We will only publish creations that fullfill the requirements!
