Creativity is the key to succes.

 I have the honour to represent Maja Design as Guest designer for the More than words challenges. Maja design is one of their prize sponsors. This is the layout I made . The challenge is use the word succes and use a key on your layout. The word SUCCESS inspired me to use a picture of an artist carrying her brushes. The word 'create' in the lightbulb, the KEY and then the word 'success' are displayed together to make up the quote in the challenge board 'Creativity is the key to success'. I added some of my own brushes and pencil to embellish the layout as these are tools which I always use when crafting, so in a way they help me accomplish my work successfully.

This is the challenge moodboard.

Maja Design October moodboard challenge.

The new mood board for October is up at Maja Design Blog. 

Summer is over and autumn is here , so time for nic walks in the fresh air and cup of hot coco or tea when you get home. 

I love all the beautiful colors autumn gives us and the rain and wind don't bother me much. 

I wanted to make a autumn layout but got so stuck with it so decided to make this gift envelope. I must say I like how it turned out eventually.

 

And this is this is this months moodboard, don't you just love it ?  I hope you all will play along this month , you can win the Maja design collection of your choise!. 

Here is how you can enter: http://majadesign.nu/october-mood-board-challenge/ 

Hope to see your creation.

Beautyful Dreamer.

Hello ,
Today I bring you this layout . I made this one inspired my the current moodboard challenge.
I build this layout wit several left overs I had in my leftover-box from previous layouts.
Like I mentioned before , I never throw anything away, you never know if you can use it again on an other layout, card , minialbum or any other project.
The only thing you need to do is remember to go thru your leftovers from time to time, don't forget about them.

Here I have a close up for you. The leaves on the background are made with mask from dusty attic and versamagic jumbo java and hint of pesto.
I also colored some cheesecloth with it to use behind the flowers that are from Prima marketing.

Thank you for visiting, I hope you like the layout I made for you.
Lenet.

Vintage Soul

Hello today it is my turn to host a blogpost at the Maja design Blog, and I made this  vintage looking Layout.
I love  old vintage things, the papers of Maja design are just perfect for vintage and shabby chic crafting.

For this layout I used Vintage summer basics 1921 as the background and some leftovers from other papers for the matting of the picture.

I used the patina effect pastes art extravagance from prima marketing to distress the chippies from Dusty attic.

Some old lace and colored cheesecloth to tuck between the layers.  As a finishing touch some flowers from 49 and Market

Notes

Hello today I bring you this little notebook I use for my grocery lists. 

It had a plain boring craft cover so I thought let's make it pretty it is lies on my kitchen table so want it to be nice to look at. 

Only thing I need to do now is to remember to take the list with me.

Thank you for visiting my blog. If you leave a comment I will come over to yours to take a look at your beautiful projects.

I'm Happiest when I'm with you.

So like I promised I would make more blogposts, This time a card in bleu and white using the Denim and Girls collection of Maja Design. This is one of my favorite collections, its so versatile and perfect match with the Denim and Friends collection.

It looks like we will have another hot day over here at Heemskerk , so I take my crafting outsideto the shade as it will be much to hot here at the attic in my "boudoir" 

Wish you all a very nice day enjoy the weather it will be cold and wet sooner than you think and than you wil be longing  for summer again.

Stay hydrated.

Thank you for visiting my blog hope to see you back soon. If you leave a message than I will come over for a visit to your blog.

Discover

Hello

Today it was my turn to host a blogpost at the Maja Design blog and I made  this Layout with lots of hydrangea. 

I really love hydrangea, I have a big pink one in my backyard and planted a white one as well, hope it will grow very big too.
In my frontyard I have a white one with big balls of tiny white flowers.
I own a lot of hydrangea flowers from prima marketing and wanted to really start using them so I decided to make this lay out filled with hydrangea.
I also wanted to use some real nature thing in it so I went out to my garden and gathered some old little branches and plants that I had put aside for the birds to use building their nests, sorry birdies but I will refill soon. It’s fun to use natural things  like this on your layout so I might go use it more often.
I made some tears on the edges of the top layer, distressed them so you can see the paper underneath and made stitches by hand on each side of it.

I also tucked some pink dried baby’s breath between the flowers, I love this delicate little flower,
  and always keep and dry them when I get those in a bouquet

                                                                               

For this layout I used the  vintage summer basics collection.


With this Lay out I also join the More than words challenge of this month.  The theme is Discover and use some old stash. My old stash are the flowers and the old nature stuff I used . I was inspired by the word discover. I went on a discovery trip thru my old stash and discovered the tin  containing the hydrangea. discovered I still love them and found it a little hard to use them . But I think that's what this challenge is all about, to finally use some of your old stash.

                                                                            

Thank you for visiting my blog , I hope I gave you some inspiration with this layout.
If you leave a comment I will come over  to your blog too, to take a look at your projects.

With Love

Hello today I bring you this layout made with the wonderfull papers of Prima marketing. 

It was made a turn around sketch challenge of  the Scraptuin forum and I made it for the More than words challenge of this month, called Fantasy and wings. I took this picture of a sweet fairy and gave her wings I glittered with embossing powder.  I cut flowers out of an other sheet of pattern papers and tuck them between the layers to give my layout some  demension , as you can see on the pictures below.  for a little extra pizzazz I added some icebleu mini prills.

The chinese marks I made with a stamp and nuvo serenity blue embossing powder and also used that to add color tho the circle chippie from dusty attic.
