Hello Sweeties

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new layout. It’s a photo of one of my best friend I’ve taken during a photo shoot we had a few days ago.

As usual, I applied a layer of clear gesso to protect the background from all the media I will add later. When dry, I began to add a design with a stencil and a copper crackle paste.

While the paste was drying, I colored the flowers with a home-made spray of  Primary Element and water. I used several colors of Twinkling H2O to color the die-cut leaves. 

When the paste was finally dry, I added some random stamping with a permanent ink and colored the background. Then I glued all the embellishments.

To finish the layout, I added some Mica Flakes and Glass Glitters.

Hi there paper friends. Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today. I have a layout to share with you where I have used both the “Vintage Spring & Summer Basics” paper collections. I have to say I am really enjoying working with the Maja Design paper collections because they all mix & match so brilliantly together. Makes our job as scrapbookers so easy !!!

I have cut this word “Memories” from the Vintage Summer Basics “Memories” paper to use as my title. This particular paper has all sorts of great tags, words, postcards & all manner of ephemera that are perfect for cutting out to use as embellishments etc.

I have also cut some tags & labels out of that same paper & I have used them to create some great layers both at the top & sides of my photo. In the above photo you can also see the gorgeous “1926” paper as well as the reverse side of “Memories” papers, both from the Vintage Summer Basics collections. These two papers compliment each other beautifully.

For my background I have used the “1st of April” paper which is from the Vintage Spring Basics collection. I just love that little bird in the top right corner too. I adore the subtle details of this paper. Perfect background choice. All of the chipboard I have used, including this gorgeous screen are from 2Crafty Chipboard.

Here you can see a close up of the detail I have added in the corner of my layout. On the background, if you look closely, you will see I have added some gauze which I adhered with a gel medium before stencilling over the top of it to create some wonderful texture. I have also added some Olive Vine Glimmermist for added colour as well as a little background stamping.

Well thats all from me today, I will see you back here again in a few weeks with another project. Until then.

More Calendar Pages ♥

Hi! I am back with some more calendar pages for my calendar to Maximilian’s grandparents. I have chosen photos of special times in his life, and him with some special people in his life. I have made two Spring pages with the Vintage Spring Basics papers, and two Summer pages with the Vintage Summer Basics papers. The images are from Magnolia, and are coloured with Distress Ink, re-inkers.

The papers I have used here: 4th of May, 2nd of May, 3rd of May bs (for the butterfly-row), 6th of May (the butterflies I have cut out).

For April I have used: 5th of May, 5th of March.

And here are the Summer pages:

I have used this papers over here: 1943, 1916.

And the last one under, which is Maximilian’s birth month, I have used: 1905, 1916 bs. The die used are DooHickeys from Magnolia. I have sewed the paper edges and inked them with Distress Ink pad-Walnut Stain.
