A Moment to Smile Layout for ***Renea Bouquets*** & ***Maja Design***!

Goodmorning sweet followers,

 I am very excited to be sharing my first layout as a guest designer for Renea Bouquest. For this layout I have used two pictures of our vacation back in 2010 when Kevin was such a cute little boy. We had so much fun then I sure miss our vacations but hopefully covid is on it's return. For this layout I used Maja Design papers and all Renea Bouquets embellishments and oh boy how I love those gorgeous dragonflies!

A Moment to Smile:On the edges of my background paper I added a lot of distress oxide "vintage photo" after I distressed all my edges first. Next thing I did was adding a background stamp and a splatter stencil to give it more of a beachy feeling. Then I used a couple of my lindy's sprays to soften up my background. Now my background is done.

I also used distress oxide "vintage photo" on the beautiful boards. The beautiful boards frames Victorian Scroll Frame & 2 Accents are treated with rust effect past by finnabair and later on I added the Blue Lagoon wax to give it the teal look to match my flowers.


To finish of my layout I also added some art stones and some gorgeous No hole seafoam glass Microbeads by Renea Bouquets. As you see in the last picture the beautiful boards are very thick and nicely cut and you can also leave them untreated as I did with the words moment & smile.

Christmas Memories to Cherish Layout ***Maja Design*** + Playing at Creative Embellishments, More Than Words & Lindy's Stamp Gang!!

Hi lovely friends, 

Today I'd like to show you a layout that I created for my DT work at Maja Design. For this layout I combined two collections "Miles Apart"& "I Wish" I really like how well all collections of Maja Design go together...now pink/cherise/peachy & brown always look awesome don't you think?? I off course used a picture of Abbey the first time next to a Christmas tree a nice memory for her.

Christmas Memories to Cherish:With this layout I will be entering three challenges could not resist either one of them. I made a layout with lots of layers which I really like to do it gives your work more demension. The brown sheet of the I Wish collection I used for my base underneath that sheet I used the 'a few words' sheet of the Miles Apart collection. On the background I used the distressed script stamp by Creative Embellishments. 

Then I distressed like a crazy woman ohhhh did I went nuts sometimes you need it to get your shit together. Then I placed the slightly smaller sheet on top of my background with underneath the same sheet as I did behind the brown one. 


Then I placed the flowers around like I wanted them just like I did with the picture....you see some handmade leaves too in my flower clusters those are made with Cheery Lynn Designs dies and sprayed with sprays gold & green. The I added some metal stars & some chipboard Gears by Creative Embellishments.

Maja Design Paper used: 
Miles Apart: a few words & keep in touch and I Wish: those memories will last.
As I told you earlier I will be entering three challenges with this layout the first one is to be inspired by this beautiful mood board that's why I used the gears and the script stamp..

For the second: To be inspired by the word Childhood & to add gold on this layout I used a picture of our sweet Abbey next to her first Christmas three I added gold stars and some golden swirls in my flower clusters.


For the third: I was inspired by all the pretty shimmer and pink in this moodboard...I have used rose gold wax and some other waxes on my chipboard pieces. Also I used shiny spray with some mika powders 

 
Thank you so much for visiting my blog today have a wonderful New Years and stay safe

The Unforgetable Moments of Childhood Magic Layout for ***Maja Design*** + Playing at More Than Words & 13 Arts!!

 Goodmorning my amazing followers,

Today I'd like to share another layout I made for my Maja Design DT work I am so happy that you find the time to visit my blog today, here in The Netherlands they just decided to have a hard lockdown due covid-19, I personally think that it's way to late but who am I right? Luckily in my line of work {optician} we can still be open and help the people who need to see but for my husband it's a whole other story but he can still go to work but we don't know for how long. Well enough of the covid-19.....today I'd like to show you another layout that I made with two gorgeous collections "Celebration"& "Nyhavn"

The Unforgetable Moments of Childhood Magic: 
This was a fun and easy page to make also because I don't have many pictures with snow in it....only when Kevin was a cute little boy. For the bottom part of my layout I used the Nyhavn sheet called sitting at the dock which is one of my all time favorites and for the upper part I used the ephemera sheet of Celebration. At that first sheet I used a awesome winter background stamp by studio light with some stazon jet black ink I stamped randomly, then for the upper part I used a stencil by the dusty attic of stars.


The frame around the picture is also by the dusty attic as is the word childhood. With this layout I will be entering two challenges one is a moodboard of winter at the 13 Arts blog and the other one is of childhood & to add some gold at More Than Words. The leaves you see on my layout are dies by cheery lynn designs which I cut out from the Maja Designs monochromes and then treated with lindy's stamp gang sprays.

I added different golden elements on my layout as glitter glass, gold sprays & finnabair wax on the art pebbles as the finishing touch I added some true snow by arleene's and some butterflies of the coffee in the arbour collection. I also added some flatbackpearls on the frame.


Maja Design papers used: Celebration Ephemera bs, Nyhavn sitting at the dock bs, Mono White Sand bs of the sofiero & Coffee in the Arbour butterflies are free.

As I told you earlier in my post I will be entering two challenges one at More Than Words with the word "Childhood" and to add some gold....how did this moodboard inspire me, well that's easy when I was a child there was snow almost every winter! My brothers and I where always playing ouside throwing snow at each other and playing & skating on the ice....and when Kevin was little we also played in the snow with him and that where fun times reminding me of my own childhood! That's why I used this picture. 
and the second one is at the 13 Arts blog challenge #97 and for you work you needed to use at least one 13 Arts product and I used the words "Unforgetable", "Moments" & Magic from the Chipboard Winter Tales words which I had in my stash for a while now and I finally got to use it yeah....and isn't this moodboard amazing???
Thank you so much for being here with me today I hope you like my work have a wonderful day .......stay safe & healthy......
