Fairy Princess- Maja Design

Hello!!  I've been working a lot during the last weeks so not much time for blog land these days.  Usually January is a slow month at work but this new year I started with a full schedule, making formal dresses for weddings that's what I love to do and in the rush I have not taken any photos of the dresses..not good!!  And in the nights although I'm tired I try to sit a little to liberate the stress with....scrapbooking my perfect therapy!!!


I will show you today this page that I made with the Ska Vi Ta En Fika? Collection by Maja Design. It's a Beautiful collection that took me a little time to decide which papers I wanted to work with and I chose En Koop Te, Cheesecake and Chaite papers because I love these colors and designs.  I took this photo of my niece Sabrina and I've been waiting for the perfect papers for this photo and finally I found them.


I love to use the papers to it's fullest and here I made some flowers by hand with the Chaite paper and some pennants with the Cheesecake paper.

For my tittle I used a rub-ons and I incorporated fabric and lace to give a feminine look to my work.

Love Yourself...Wholeheartedly

Hello!!  I'm so happy and excited because today was my first post at Maja Design blog as Design Team member and I will share you this page that I made with the gorgeous "Crea Diem Collection".  My idea was a soft color vintage page with lots of textures and for that reason I selected these pink, gray and white colors and this was my inspiration...
With these same beautiful papers I created all the textures, I made the flower by hand and cut all the pennants and I love the final result.  These papers have beautiful design in both sides that I used to create all these shades of colors.
Here you can see all the layering and textures...


I added stitching, silver swirls, pearls, lace and butterflies. I also used gesso and acrylic paint.



Supplies:
Crea Diem Collection- Sann Vanskap, Av Hela Mitt Hjarta and Fylld Av Karlek
