Pumkins for Maja Design

Hello Maja friends!


Today is the day of the year where especially the children have a lot of fun.
 
I'm not the greatest Halloween fan but I love the mystical, imaginative side of it.
  Dimly light, swathes of mist envelope the landscape, glowing pumpkins in warm colors and not very serious stories, but always associated with a lot of fun.

It is also the main harvest time of pumpkins in my garden, 
you can cook wonderful dishes and soups
made out of pumpkins or use them just for decoration or make a pumpkin cutting event
for family and friends.


 I used the paper sheet ' The colours of fall' 
from the paper collection 'Walking in the forest'
as background. 

The beautiful green shades together with 
the delicate old trees were very suitable
for my autumn mixed media layout.
 The background brings the warm colors of the pumpkins to light.

Happy Halloween!

The Magic Spell

Hi friends!

Pictures tell their own story, right?!
I was inspired to create a halloween fairytale 
for a children room with a magic effect.


 I'm a big mixed media fan and it's my passion to combine 
a lot of various elements and materials. Here I used some cutting dies from Sizzix, colours and stencils from DecoArt. But I'm also known for working with scraps and that can sometimes be remnants of textured wallpaper too .


 Sizzix cutting die 'Witchcraft' and Halloween shadows


Sizzix cutting die 'Haunted House'


Sizzix cutting die 'Tree line' 


Tim Holtz Idea-ology Halloween Transparent Tiles


and Ta-dah the Glow in the Dark effect 
(with Dimensional Paint Writer from DecoArt)
a little bit difficult to photograph, but I think you will see it :-)



I was inspired from the dark night sky, nature elements, 
the whole world of Alchemy


Happy Halloween!

Looking for Adventure - Joho

Hello!

 Today I want to share a new project for Scrap FX.
Our newest monthly products are all sea inspired products, fabulous, because that's one of my fav themes. But the summer is over here, Halloween is just around the corner and so was my idea to create a mixed media fantasy layout inspired from the movie 'Pirates of Carribean '.


I used a dark spider web background paper as basic. On the photo you can see a motif from this movie it was a sand sculpturing challenge.

used Scrap FX products



 
 I wanted to create a background in a gloomy dripping atmosphere in a ship hull, therefore I used only the drops from the Splat stencil


the typical pirate symbol I found as a piece in the  Steampunk Top hat set 
 

 in combination with a gear and a cut out from an old magazine


our black silhouette Boho Arrow border  
reminds me on to the hat pendant of Jack Sparrow, of course Captain Jack Sparrow ;-)

 

Many thanks for your visit!
Happy crafting!

Minialbum - Witching Hour

Hello crafty friends!

As you can remember, I was totally in love with our devil, so he needed to find his place on my next Halloween project. It's a minialbum in mixed media style and I used a mix of wooden shapes and cutting dies and some suitable embellishments.


more details 
can you find here
 




... and as the moonlight shone faintly on the clearing, one discovered the enchanted castle

And now get enchanted and plunge into the wonderful
world of creativity!
Happy crafting!

A new tree house for Maja Design

Hello crafty friends!

When we were hiking in the autumn forest, we discovered a new house for our dog.  
Filou had to examine it closely and it seems as if it meets his requirements ;-) 
Back at home, he has come to love his soft dog basket and of course our sofa again,
 because it's much more comfortable as he whispered to me.

That was my inspiration for this new autumn layout in mixed media natural style.


more details can you find here



Thanks for your visit!
Have a wonderful day!
