Paradise for Maja Design

Hello boys and girlies!

I was inspired to create a new mixed media layout.

 Our summer is very hot and you can only think on cool water, 

ice and dreamy beaches with palm trees. 

 :-) A day in paradise :-)

I used some beautiful papers from our latest 'Denim & Girls' paper collection. 'My favourite Jeans as background and some leftovers for the work with cutting dies.

some close up's

Have a wonderful summer time!

Hello creative friends!

 Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge

and the theme for this week is...

Not A Card

I was inspired to create a wooden house as door or wall hanger for my 'Magic laboratory'
also called from my friends as my craft studio :-).

Halloween isn't around the corner, but I was in love with this new Bigz 'Cauldron'
and  very suitable to this awesome piece the 'Laboratory' Thinlits dies.

I love it to use structure paper, but you can also use leftovers from wallpaper, 

 together with metallic wax you can creates exciting 3D effects

 ATC stamps stamped with Archival ink as background

HOPE & TRUST are mainly ingredients in my magic laboratory :-)

 mysterious steams created with white ink spray

the 'Cauldron' worked with Stone effect  paste, black gesso and silver metallic wax

 and highlighted with a metallic embellishment

GD Simon says - Tim Holtz products

Welcome everyone!

I'm back again with a new theme - Animal Magic!

 Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge

Summer, Sun and Sunshine -  time for vacation and wanderlust!
In winter we long for a little sunshine and in summer we flee from the heat of the sun. But we still are always in a better mood when the sun is shining.
On the other hand the yearning for a cool, chilly place for some peace and relaxation is stronger than ever.

That inspired me to create a new piece to decorate my home with. 

It's an upccycling project and I used an MDF Surfboard shape.

By adding only a little paint and a few embellishments 

you can easily create your own background and get 

an eye-catcher made out of a simple board from the dollar store. 

And it's not only beautiful but also practical, 

because at the upper end there is a bottle opener.

Tips and Tricks

 

1. I used 2 pieces made with

Tim Holtz Sizzix BURST 3D Impresslits Cut and Emboss Folder

that were coloured with chalk acrylic paint and highlighted with gold metallic wax.

 I stuck them on top of each other with a sticky foam pad 

and decorated them with three small shells, a dog photo and ribbons 

2. yes, that's a cocktail umbrella to the right :-)

I altered its look with some spray colours 'Walnut Stain' and 'Stain Picket'

3. I made some pieces with Tim Holtz Sizzix Planks Bigz

and Tim Holtz Sizzix LUMBER 3D Texture Fades Embossing Folder 

I think these are such a wonderful addition to such a lot of projects with a nature feel. 

I created a small fence,

  so the little boy can lean back and relax.
