little me *Shimmerz*


Today I'm sharing a canvas of little me today.
Had to take some photo's for a new ID and they turned out not so bad! hahaha
Thought I was time to use a photo of me for a change!

For the background I mixed gesso with some sand.
This will give an amazing texture!

For this project I used the following Shimmerz products:  
Shimmerz: Bubble Gum
Shimmerz: Sugar Plum
Shimmerz: Pink
Shimmerz: Magenta

Here are some close-ups:
Look at all those shimmer on the flowers! Sooo yummy!! :)


Also added some micro beads on the gesso/sand mix.
After all the paints I like to give my projects an extra touch with gesso.
Randomly applied it to give it a softer look.


Enjoy your day!

love *Maja Design*

Hi there!
Today I want to share this fun project.
My oldest daughter asked me to scrap a photo of her and her boyfriend.
She choose these papers  and the colors to work with.
These wooden letters were just perfect for the two lovebirds!

For the letters I used the 1903 and 1946 papers from the Vintage Summer Basics collection.

The paper flowers were made with both Vintage Spring and Frost collection.
The big white flowers are from Prima.

The Dusty Attic flourish chipboard got a layer of gesso.

This piece of Dusty Attic chipboard was randomly gessoed.

This metal heart is from Action and the wooden flowers are from Pipoos, both Dutch stores.

Distressed all the edges.

altered alarm clock *Maja Design* -with tutorial-

Hi there Maja friends!
I'm having a fun project to share with you today!
An altered alarm clock with a photo -step by step- tutorial.
For this project I used all 4 Vintage Basics from Maja Design,
Vintage Spring, Vintage Summer, Vintage Autumn and Vintage Frost collection.
Those Maja collections work so well together!!


Let's start to alter this alarm clock!
The alarm got a coat of gesso first.

Tearing up some bits and pieces from all the paper collections.

Randomly glueing them on the clock with Mod Podge.

Also glueing the inside.

Love to play with all those little pieces!
These collections work perfectly together!

Those clocks always make a lovely extra touch to any project.
They come from the Autumn collection, No.XVI

Randomly added some clocks.

I used two ways to make my flowers,
A punch and a die from Spellbinders.

These little cuties were made with a punch.
I punched them three times and added a brad.
Crumbled them up and shaped the flower.

Also rolled some paper for an extra embellishment.

All done and ready to embellish!!

Between some mesh all the paper flowers.

Added some lace on one of the bells and around the side.

This metal piece is a part of a bracelet I had in my stash for awhile.

The beautiful big tulle flower is from 13 Arts.
Just love their fabric flowers!

The chipboard, the flourish, the key and the butterfly is from Dusty Attic.



And the final result!

The Vintage collections.
No. XII and No.XVI

7th of Dec.

1909

7th of May

Hope you're also having a great time playing with Maja Design papers!!
Enjoy your day!
