Hello Sweeties
Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new family photo. It’s a photo of my paternal grand-mother and her foster father taken at the end of 10’s, beginning of the 20’s.

I started to add a thin layer of white gesso. Then I added a design with Modeling Paste and a stencil.

When the Modeling Paste was dry, I added clear Crackle Paste here and there and let dry again.

In the meantime I die-cut the gears, leaves, branches and colored the flowers.

I painted the gear with black gesso and added Rusting Powder.

After having assembled all the elements of the page, I finished with some random stamping, splatters of black gesso and some black glass glitters.

Maja Design papers used:

Enjoying Outdoors Collection
Picking Flowers
Singing in the rain
Time for reflection
Woodlands

Good morning Maja friends!

Today I thought I was going to give you some inspiration to start on your Christmas cards.

This card is made with left over papers from several of Maja Designs collections. All in blue, beige and brown.

I have used an image from the Internet, a doily, pearls, lace and a crochet flower.

The text is in Norwegian and means “take care of the moments”.

I have also made a tag for a Christmas present.

Good morning Maja friends!

Have you started with your Christmas cards yet? I have! Time flies, and Christmas always comes to fast, so I always start making Christmas cards in October.

This week I have made a Christmas card in untraditional colours. I have used papers from both the new “Enjoying outdoors” collction and the “Vintage Summer Basics” collction.

Good morning Maja friends! Are you all doing fine? Have you realized that it’s only two month until you have to send your Christmas cards? That means you soon have to start making them!

This card is made with papers from “Vintage Frost Basics”. I have used both “1st of December” and “10th of December” for this card.

Hello Everyone
Today it is me Silje Kristin, that will inspire you <3
It’s finally Sunday, and I’m ready for my new post for Maja Design <3
This time I’ll show you a couple of large boxes, that were in a Norwegian Scrapbooking magazine, Ett Trykk.
I have decorated two tin boxes some lovely Maja sheets.
On this boxes I’ve used patterned papers from Maja Design’s collection The Vintage Spring Basics.
This is one of my favorite collection, the colors in the sheets is lovely and complex with the pattern. Its makes it easy to mix sheets and colors to the projects you create.
I have chosen to use the blue sheets from the collection.
Vintage-Spring-Basics-P
I came across these tin boxes in a Norwegian store, called Sisters Grene. I removed the metal fasteners behind the box and lock in the front, before I dresses the sides with paper from Maja Design.
All the edges are blackened with distress Walnut Stain.
Both boxes are decorated with the same details. Instead of using a lot of flowers I decided to use metal details.
The biggest box stands on four large metal corner feet. The brown ribbon, going round the box and is fastned in metal from Tim Holtz. I have also used white metal plates with words from Prima: Bliss – Care – Home. On the lid I have used metal corner, but in the other corner you will see brown brads.
The metal clasp on the front is from Fab Scraps.
On the side of this box I’ve put together words on eatch side, Thankful and Treasure.
The butterflies are from one set from BoBunny with three butterflies dies.
On the smallest box, you will find the same metal decorations as the largest box. Metal plates on this is with numbers and words: 52 – Love – 24. The metal feet are smaller on this box then the bigest one.
On the side of this box, you will find two new words: Adore and Love.
The words give a whole to the boxes and what they symbolize <3
To the boxes I’ve created two different tags, punched out with one set of dies from Nellie Snellen.
On the tags on the bigest box I have used one dies from kaBoks with one word
Fantastic on. Metal decorations on this is charms and a amulet with the words Faith – Hope – Love. The tag are attached with metal rings to the lid on the box.
I have also used a butterfly and some brownbrads.
On the smaller box is the tag slightly smaller. The metal decor is a big key and a small key, I’ve also attached a smal eifel tower on this tag also.
I also spent a die from kaBoks with the words Luck on.
The Butterflies are blackened with the same Distress used elsewhere on the boxes.
The back of the boxes are simple, here are just the metal loops that secure the lid to the box.
And this is my Vintage Travel Boxes, made with the most beautiful sheets from Maja Design <3
 
 Have a GREAT day everyone <3
