Magic Winter Time DT Layout for *Maja Design* + Playing at Mixed Media & Art, Cuts2luv and Words & Paintry Challenges!

Goodmorning lovelies, 
How was your first week of the new year? 
For me it's still kind of a roller coaster helping my mom getting her house cleaned up after her husband died {my stepdad}, husband still at home on sick leave and getting our son more into his school work. It's a hard job being a mom a good wife and daugther. But I am not complaining, yesterday I had some free time in my craft room and made this layout for my DT work at Maja Design and thought "well" maybe I could make something to enter a challenge again it's been a while since I have done that.  

Magic Winter Time: 
This layout was made with the pretty new Maja Design collection "Joyous Winterdays" I added a lot of mixed media elements like paste, stamps, a stencil clear drops, prills, snow, glass glitter, sprays and some crackle paste. This was a really fun page to create eventhough I don't like winter I do love making winter layouts. The chipboards are treated with gesso {white} crackle paste and snow effects and a touch of gliss glitter.  



At the end I added some sequins by "dress my craft" and I added some shimmer sprays by Lindy's Stamp Gang called "Don't Eat Golden Snow"to my flower clusters I also used two flair on my layout. 


Maja Design papers used: Evergreen bs, Outdoors bs, Pick a tree bs, Santa Claus, Ephemera & Ephemera bs.
Other products used: 
Dusty Attic chipboard, Stencils, Paste, Lindy’s Stamps Gang sprays and embossing powders, Stamps, Mica Powders, Cheese Cloth, Clear gesso, Gesso white, Ink & Waxes

With this layout I will be participating in three different challenges first up: 

Is the amazing December challenge at the Mixed Media & Art blog I was really inspired by the pretty colors and amazing sketch although it turned out a little different as I was planning let's have a look: 
For the second challenge I will be entering, we have to go over to Cuts2luv blog where they also have a lovely mood board and I was inspired by the colors I only left out the pink and orange colors but I added the word winter, used a snow picture, texture paste and as I just see now it looks a lot like the sketch hihihi just have a look: 
And the third challenge which I will be attending is the one over at the Words & Paintery they also have a pretty mood board with the same soft toned colors that I used in my layout. 
Thank you so much for your visit today and I hope I have inspired you to make some beautiful art with your crafty supplies. Have a wonderful day and upcoming weekend.....

Cozy Winter Card for ***Cheery Lynn Designs***

Goodmorning lovelies, 
Happy New Year to you all, I really hope the year started well for you. For today I'd like to show you a wintery card I made with all lovely dies by the most amazing die company there is in this craft industry Cheery Lynn Designs. The papers I used are by Maja Design. As you may know I love making wintery layouts & cards because I can use some pretty snow effect paste and lot's of glitter.....got to love glitter right?

Cozy Winter: 

On my card I also did some mixed media used some sprays, paste and stamps!
I really like how the B837 - Holly Leaf {set of 4} lent's itself to only use parts of that die to add to another dies like I did here with the B481 - Joy to the World Wreath.



Sorry for the bad picture we have some nasty weather in my part of the world so making good pictures is very hard. 
The flowers I made are very easy but take a bunch of time to make but I always make them watching TV because that is very relaxing for me....hihi

Cheery Lynn Design dies used:

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today!
I hope you enjoyed my post and I have inspired you to use your Cheery Lynn Designs dies.
And I would like to wish you a happy week.....

Tranquility Layout for ***Maja Design*** + Playing at Lindy's Stamp Gang

Hi lovely friends,
I can't believe 2016 is almost over but 2017 is going to be a wonderful scrappy year for me as well....if you want to know more you could visit my blog and see. For today's post I used the pretty new "I Wish"collection and made a layout with a winter touch and picture of our handsome boy way back in time. As much as I love making winter projects layout's, cards and such I don't like the cold at all and always wonder how it would be if I was born in a warm country. I find snow very peaceful although I dislike the mess it makes when melting.....for this layout I took out my favorite Martha Steward around the corner punch and lifted the corners so that the middle part didn't look so high!

Tranquility: 
What I really do like about Maja Design papers are the extra borders you get on each sheet....on this layout I used two of them to accent my layout! They are a great pieces of extra to compliment your work. On the background sheet I added some paste, spray, snow and stamps also all the chippies are by Dusty Attic which are treated with paint, embossing powder and snow. The edges of my layout are of course distressed and stitched.


Lately I am hoarding straws {kind of a new fetish for me lol} I love to use them on my layout. Did you ever use straws?? If so I would love to see your work or maybe you could enter this months challenge.....I really love this months mood board. I just love the fact that you could win a whole collection of your choice awesome right?


Maja Design papers used I wish: I wish to build a snowman, I wish you a Happy Holiday bs, I wish to play in the snow from the 6x6 paper pad, I wish for a holly jolly Christmas bs and I wish you lots of love and happiness bs.
With this layout I am entering this months challenge at the "Lindy's Stamp Gang" blog it's such a beautiful color combination just have a look here: 
Lindy's Stamp Gang products used: 
Spray's 
Twinkling Tinsel- my favorite spray
{so sad it's not in the collection anymore} 

Embossing powders

Thanks for being here today I sure hope I inspired you today to do some crafting during the weekend. Hubby and I are going to enjoy our little get away this Saturday! We won two tickets for Nick & Simon {two dutch singers} yeahhh. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Love

Hi everyone, 
It´s the 16th again and that means I can share my "Scrap Around the World" layout with you all. This mood board was so inspirational for me thank you so much Anna.
Let´s have a look:
Gorgeous right? I knew exactly which papers I was going to for this layout the newest "Altitude" collection by BoBunny. I really loved to see the touches of red this mood board has.
This is what I have created using this magical mood board. 

Hello Winter:  
The picture I used is from two winters ago when we had a really cold winter with lots of snow and ice. It´s my hubby and sweet son.
Let´s look a little closer:




I hope I inspired you to play along!!!
