And today I will share with you two project that I made with this kit.   The first one, is this canvas.  This is a gift for my mom, here are her four granddaughters, and the title means "My four Sophie" because their second name of all is Sophie.

I covered the canvas with the True Love Collection by Basic Grey from the Limited Edition Kit.

This shadow box by 7 Gypsie comes in the kit with all these beautiful embellishments.


For my second project I recycled an empty chocolate box and transformed into a Vintage Box...
  
I covered the box with the Gypsie product packaging of the shadow box and the journal tags, all come in this kit.

I used two different mask here and added some textures with molding paste, too.  My lovely friend Eila sent me this beautiful big white flower by Green Tara.

I also used corrugated, twine, pearls, crystal vine, lace, flowers and handmade flowers.  If you someday have the opportunity to come to Puerto Rico don't forget to visit Vieques to see and enjoy this paradise.

Maja Design February Mood Board

Hello!!  I'm trying to get back to normal again after a super busy month at work and I'm behind with my blog posting and I've been disconnected from blogland so I hope to visit you very soon but now It's time to show you the gorgeous Maja Design February Mood Board!!   My page was inspired between the special love between two persons...the mother and son, a special love forever...  I took this picture years ago, it is the second time that I scrap it but now it's a special gift to my sister Karen, she's in the picture with my niece Fabiola.  I used the Beautiful Vintage Summer Basic Collection.
We are using mood boards for our challenges. We truely believe in creativity and art at Maja Design. You are free to interpret the mood boards in any way you’d like. They are supposed to set you in an inspirational mood without too much controlling. We would like you to be inspired by the poems, words and photos. They are not given rules, they are just there as inspiration. They are all inspired by a Maja collection, but you are free to use any Maja papers you’d like as long as they follow the colour scheme.
We are presenting a new mood board the first Tuesday of every month. We will be presenting all participating creations that fulfill the requirements below February 26th. We will also draw a winner who will be winning a Maja Design collection of their own choice in 6×6 or 12×12.
After your creation is done, take a photo and send it to moodboard@majadesign.nu without any watermarks (size 600×600). Include your full address in the e-mail and what collection you would like if you win. Don’t forget to write down if you would like 6×6 or 12×12. We need your creation February 24th at the latest.
We will only publish creations that fullfill the requirements!
 More details...
I cut the photo to create a 3-D effect with the draped paper 

I used lace, chipboard, corrugated and flowers.
  
Can't wait to see what you will create with this mood board. And for more inspiration with this Mood Board you should see the beauties that the girls of the design team made it .
