Treasuring Memories

Happy Monday!!! Today I like to share with you a tag that I made for Maja Design using the Vintage Spring and Autumn Basics collections. I started with the 1st of May paper and cut out in pieces to create this design that I combined with pieces of draped paper ( I used the white parts of the same paper and draped it). The tittle is a Recollection-wood piece that I painted with gesso and then with acrylic paint. I cut these pretty butterflies from the 6th of May paper- Vintage Spring Basics and the cut out the clock from the No.XVI- Vintage Autumn Basics collection. All these tiny flowers are from Prima, them come in a jar that I get in a scrapbook store years ago. For more inspirations with Maja Design products go .....
