STYLE ... 
 A particular kind, sort, or type, as with reference to form,
appearance,or character:
A mode of living, as with respect to expense or display.

 journaling continued on the back of my LO..
I find great pleasure in browsing through books giving me ideas in fashion and color
for decorating rooms . I often wander through home/furniture stores to see what displays they have 
to breathe in ideas and inspiration.

BLOOMING GORGEOUS

Hello all my gorgeous Maja Design fans, 
I wish you a very warm welcome to my blog
I have TWO projects for you . 
I am in a romantic mood today showcasing a very soft and romantic card,
loaded with blooms, and some resin embellies, 
embracing the dreamy new collection at Maja Design 
'Coffee in the Arbour '
to find Maja Design blog 
for more info and 
checkout the glorious work the Design Team create. 


'BLOOMING GORGEOUS' 
with Pink and White
Lots of layering and stitching.
I always have such fun creating these cards . 
I find the Maja papers such a delight to play with, and
the layers are complimented with the blooms and a key .
 Just look how these papers embrace the blooms .
I can just imagine sitting at a table sipping coffee surrounded
 by a beautiful garden full of color and blooms .. sigh xoxo
  I decorated the inside of the card quite simply more striped paper and a small die on the right side .

 I seemed to be a little carried away with the blooms and just kept adding more of them .
These papers blend so beautifully with little pink rosebuds,  pink and white roses 
and a resin key .

 Maja Design papers used .....
Coffee in the Arbour .....
Grandmas old Porcelain cups, Raspberry cupcake, Raspberry Jam Cookies, 
Lets share a cookie... Vintage Frost 19th December .


Celebrate with BLUE AND WHITE - always so fresh and crisp .  
I love the crisp feeling to a blue and white project . 



Here I have created a tag that pops inside the pocket 
  My stacked layers consist of leaves , rosebuds, chipboard and dies, 
finishing off perfectly with a heart and an altered metal piece and  pearl brad .

 This pocket has a foundation of white cardstock with stamping in blue, 
and some white gesso splashed randomly 
to add to the crisp feel of Blue and white.
I really love the texture that layering gives.
to me it creates intrigue and beauty .
Decorating tags is a love of mine 
and it also gives me plenty of space to write a message, making it personal .

 Maja Design Papers used for the Blue and white  tag and pocket
 Coffee in the Arbour..Blueberry cupcake, Lovely weather, and Walking in the Forest - Jeans  .  
 I do hope you are inspired to have a play with these romantic papers . 
thanks for popping by 
I really enjoy having you here on my blog 
until next time 
happy scrapping x

case file #133
loving these bright colors 



'LOVE YOU' 
 EVIDENCE
Suspend something, polka dots, flowers, paint, banner, tie from the tag .
TESTIMONY
Journaling.. inspiration words/ delight and simple .
I have always found delight in simple things. 
Buying new seedlings and planting them in my garden fills my heart with warmth and so much happiness. Watching them thrive and grow makes me smile . 
There is something so beautiful about nature .
And I just adore PINK blooms scattered among the shrubs and hedges in my garden .
journaling extended on the back on my LO
I talk to my plants while I gently nurture them. 
Giving them plenty of fertilizer and water.
Plants really respond to music too, many of my friends ask me how I 
have such a lush garden ... 
When I tell them I talk to my plants some of my friends laugh and think I am Mad !!!!
My garden is living proof of the 'magic' that words do . 
  I am passionate about my garden and love all my blooms... sigh !!!!!
