Welcome for DT Calico Craft Parts

Hi crafty friends!

The time is right for a new inspirations with some absolutly awesome new wooden shapes from Calico Craft Parts. Today in the focus, the genius anchor.

Anchor Collage

 In memory of a wonderful summer vacation last year, where we had rented a holiday apartment by the sea, this Shadow box was created. I also liked the flat so much because it had an individual touch and welcomed the holiday makers with home-made things. 

I used a shadow box similiar to this one Birch Plywood Box Frame Kit Size: S , old book pages, stamps (stars and saying). The frame was made with white crackle paint from DecoArt and afterwards coated with Antiquing Cream Patina Green and Carbon Black.

I wanted a background in grunge style, therefore I also used Distress Ink 'Walnut Stain'.

Summer Memories

Hello!

Today a new inspiration for Maja Design. Two pages for a new minialbum with my favourite theme Summer by the Sea. We have a very hot and especially dry summer here and every thought of a cool fresh sea breeze is more than welcome.

'You can shake the sand from your shoes,

 but it will never leave your soul'

I used a beautiful neutral sheet 'Wind in my hair' as underground paper. The tags from this collection

 were a wonderful addition and very practical to attach my flip flop images.

some details

 I have added some cut out elements from the 'Life by the sea' paper collection

 and some wooden shape mini elements from Calico Craft Parts

 an amazing little parasol and a die cut flower as sun

 a background stamp with an old Kogge

 

I wish you a wonderful summertime!
