Cherish



Hello everyone! I have a layout to share with you that is monochromatic in design with just a hint of colour. In Australia, we have moved into the season of autumn which is the paper inspiration for my layout. I pulled out all of the brown from the Vintage Autumn Collection and played around with them until I decided which ones I wanted to use.


To create the shape of my patterned paper and contrasting cardstock, I used The Crafters Workshop Trendy Bracket stencil. I inked the edge with Prima dark bark ink and used sewing scalloped scissors to create the scalloped border around the edge of the dark brown border. I have used regular scalloped scissors in the past and have found the sewing scissors gave me greater control and accuracy in my cuts. I also inked this Scrapmatts title using the Prima ink as well.


Not only are the Maja Design papers beautiful but the negative side of the titles are beautiful as well! I trimmed one to create one of my titles. I fussy cut one of the clocks from the collection as well to create an embellishment. I added a Prima and Green Tara flower.

 

To frame my photo, I used Spellbinders Card Creator Heirloom Legacy die. I love the details it has.


I inked a Prima Shabby Chic Treasure using the same dark bark ink to make it look aged. As you can see, I also inked my other papers with the same ink.

Enjoy the Simple Things ~ Maja Design


Hello everyone! Today I am sharing a card that I have created which shows my love of coffee!!! The inspiration..... The March mood board from Maja Design.

On a cold day, there is nothing better than having a great cup of coffee. For me it can make or break my my day...actually that applies everyday!
I used stamps as my focal images. I used a Prima Nature Garden stamp (cup image) and my sentiment is from Our Daily Bread Designs. I felt it summed up my feelings about coffee perfectly. I used Coffee in the Arbour Collection papers which coordinate perfectly with the mood board (notice the coffee pot and tea pot papers).
