Moments to Smile Everyday Layout for ***Maja Design*** + Playing at Scrap and Me & Scrapaholics!!

 Goodmorning Lovely Fans,

How nice of you to visit my blog today! As most of you know I love to mix and match collections what is amazing to do with all the Maja design lines. For this layout I used five collections because I wanted to follow a moodboard at a challenge site which was light teal, pink, grey and white. The grey flowers are handmade and super easy to do. The white paper with the clocks is my favorite sheet from the "Crea Diem"collection I used two, from one I cut out the clocks to add extra on my layout.

Moments to Smile Everyday: 

The grey paper I used as the base of my layout on that one I added the sheet from the "Vintage Summer Basics" in the light teal color. All the papers are distressed and I used  stamps and a stencil on the background. The rest of the flowers are off course by 49 and Market. I love to use pictures of our little Abbey she is growing up so fast trying to say difficult words just to funny she makes our lives compleet & happy.

The chipboard pieces are by scrapaholics and are treated with white gesso, ink, paint, sprays and the words with embossing powders. From the 'Miles Apart"collection I cut out a whole bunch of roses & leaves that I placed around my picture. The cute little butterflies are from a sheet from the 'Vintage Spring Basics"collection.

The stencil I used is by the very talented Gabrielle Pollacco whom I totally miss in this creative world....On the 6th of this month it was my husband's and also my birthday he turned 50 this year I made him a Abrahim lol just too funny. I turned 43 this year a green leaf like he always sais lol hahahaha.....He was so sweet to give me such a nice present he gave me a new sewing machine for scrapping but they could not deliver it because they all had to back because there was something wrong with them {I am so sad about that hopefully I will have it back soon} I miss sewing on my layouts it was one of my trademarks on my work and now it was a long time I did...

Maja Design papers used: Crea Diem: den oersattliga tiden, Nyhavn: king's square, Vintage Summer Basics: 1943, Miles Apart: the little things & ephemera, Vintage Spring Basics: 6th of May.

With this layout I will be entering two challenge one over at the Scrap an Me Blog on this blog it's a bingo challenge #78 which is my birth year that's why I had to play along. I have used the row in the middle Flowers, Chipboard and Butterflies 

 

And for the second one it was a pretty moodboard at Scrapaholics Open Studio at Facebook justhave a look: pretty right???

Cherish our Little Moments for ***Maja Design*** & Playing along with The Dusty Attic November moodboard!

 Goodmorning lovely bloggers,

Today I would like to share another layout with you all, but first I want to tell you that I am hosting a give away you could win one off three collections by Maja Design ==> Amy´s Pretty Papers <== now to my layout! For this one I used my new favorite collection "Miles Apart" I just can't believe how pretty this collection is can you? I totally went crazy on the fussy cutting part. For this layout I wanted to create a romantic scenery with lace and lots of layers I was totally inspired by the Dusty Attic moodboard of November while creating this layout. The picture is truly my most adorable {and favorite} picture I have of my handsome boy & little princess.

Cherish our little Moments:First I cut out the middel part of the thinking of you sheet, 2 centimeters to be exact around the edges. Then I distressed both pieces as much as I could with a tool then with my fingers to make the papers kind of curly at some places. Then I moved my chipboard pieces around and around {I think that took me two whole hours "Oh Boy"} until I liked where I put them.

Then I took the chipboard away after taking a picture first...then you see I added lace in the upper left corner and in the lower right corner and that's how the papers stay on it's place {didn't use any glue here} after that I used some stamps, a stencil, modeling crackle paste & and a bunch of Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays on the background sheet.

I also used the stencil with some of that same paste to alter the frame around the picture {I had never done that before} but it turned out great at least that's what I think ;-) hehe Then I treated the rest of the chipboards with white embossing powder by Lindy's Stamp Gang and later I added some waxes by Finnabair on them too...to finish of my layout I added some prills & sequins and of course some gorgeous butterflies <3

Maja Design papers used: Close at Heart, Thinking of You, Thinking of you-bs, A Few Words-bs and Ephemera, Coffee in the Arbour papers used: Butterflies are free.

With this layout I entered the Dusty Attic November moodboard and you know what I won....I am so excited yeahhhhh won me some Dusty Attic goodies this was the moodboard:

Thank you so much for being here with me today I hope you like my work... please don't forget to visit my other post for winning some Maja Design papers for yourself to create with!!.....stay safe.....

Cute as a Button Layout for *** Maja Design ***

Goodmorning lovely followers,

I sure hope everything goes well with you all, Aren't you loving the "Miles Apart" collection as much as I do? It's so shabby chic right up my ally. I have been fussy cutting my brains out lol. For this layout I used another precious picture of Abbey I just can't stop creating with pictures of her. This was a really easy and quick layout to make because I already did the fussy cutting part during my series I watch on tv. I wanted the picture to stand out in this layout that's why I kept it clean.....

Cute as a Button:

It was really fun to create this layout, I took half a sheet of the little things and placed a part of distance bsand placed it behind the first one to later on put it on the keeping busy sheet after I distressed it like a mad woman lol....those buttons you see on my layout are actually chipboard pieces that I altered is Maja Design paper.

On the background of my layout I added a stencil with golden crackle paste but before that I first stamped on it with Gabi's stoic stamp by 49 and Market. After that I sprayed some of my favorite Lindy's spray to soften up my layout. To make the phrases on my layout stand out a little more I used the black ones by The Dusty Attic and the phrase "The Ultimate Photo" I painted black.

After that I added some flowers by 49 and Market, wishing bubbles and some metal pieces with words on it to finish of my layout....and I stopped but it was hard because I wanted to add more lol.

Maja Design papers used: The little things, Keeping busy, Keeping busy-bs and Distance-bs

Thank you so much for being here with me today I hope I have inspired you to take out your Maja Design papers and create with them.....stay safe......

Happy Together Layout for ***Maja Design*** + Playing along with The Dusty Attic Mood Board!

Hi lovely followers,

I sure hope you are all making some vacation memories even in these weird times. 

I was so happy that I got my Maja Design team box with this new amazing collection inside it, named "Miles Apart" it's just so gorgeous and it will be released on the 10th of August just six more days and you can play with it yeahhh :-)....I can't wait to see what you will all create with this amazing new line. Today i'd like to show you a layout I made with "Miles Apart" for this layout I used a picture of our two treasures Kevin & Abbey! I have to tell you all Kevin is just such a sweetheart to his little sister my heart melts when I see him playing with Abbey...

Happy Together: 

I am so happy that as a creative team member of Maja Design I already get to play with it before the release, and I am sure you will love it too. For the background paper I used the Stay Creative sheet and on top of that I used Thinking of you sheet. That last one I distressed like crazy with water and my hands and when it was dry I added some background stamps and a Dusty Attic stencil. Then I added some Lindy's flat fabio spray {Chateau Rose} and some starburst spray {My Mojito Green}.

I also added some lace and cheesecloth do add dimension to my layout, to matt my picture I used the 6x6 paper pad....yes there is also a 6x6 pad yeahhhh :-) ! All the chipboard pieces are gessod and rust pasted at the end I used some paint also by the Dusty Attic and some finnabair waxes. And then came the favorite part of all adding my flowers I totally went overboard using four different packs of 49 and Market beauties. At the end I added a stamp {on my picture} and some metal pieces and art stones....

Maja Design papers used:
 "Miles Apart": Close at heart, Thinking of you, Be safe, Stay creative and the 6x6 paper pad.

With this layout I will be playing along at the Dusty Attic Facebook page I totally love the mood board of the month July, right up my ally with the color scheme...look at how pretty it is: 

 I totally feel like a kid in a candy store sniffing the papers and going through every single sheet, and saying oeh and aahhhhh lol you must think I am nuts haha! Thank you so much for visiting the blog today and I hope you enjoyed looking at my work as much as I liked making it....have a wonderful week!
