<span style="font-size: large;">Hello and Happy Wednesday! I hope this day finds you well and having some cozy crafting time. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm super excited for two reasons. The first is that I just received Maja Design's brand new paper collection, <a href="http://majadesign.nu/products/denim-girls/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Denim & Girls</span></b></a>! From the moment I laid eyes upon it I knew it was an instant favorite, and I'm thrilled to be sharing this new card created from this beautiful collection </span><span style="font-size: large;">on the <a href="http://on%20the%20maja%20design%20blog/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Maja Design Blog</b></span></a></span><span style="font-size: large;">. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The second reason I'm so excited is that I'm hosting a <strong>GIVEAWAY</strong> for the next two weeks! The winner will receive an <strong><span style="color: #3d85c6;">entire collection of their choice of Maja Design papers</span>!!</strong> <b>All you need to do to enter is be a follower on my blog and leave a comment at the bottom of this post saying what you love best about Maja Design papers</b>. At the end of two weeks I'll choose the winner using Random Number Generator, and Maja Design will get your paper collection in the mail and speeding towards your front porch. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This is actually going to be my granddaughter's birthday card. In our family we have what we call 'the circle of favorites' which includes every one of us. When the grandchildren come to visit the first thing I hear as the door opens is, "your favorites are here!", and I run to them with hugs and kisses saying, "my favorites are here!" Needless to say, the sentiment 'favourite' that I found in the paper collection is ideal for Savannah's card. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Welcome, dear friends! I'm so excited to be here with you. I hope you're doing well today. Have you had plenty of creative time? My husband recently had an injury requiring surgery (he's recovering well now), and everything to do with that kept me out of my craft room for a couple of weeks. Needless to say I am thrilled to be back to crafting this week, and just in time for my post on the <a href="https://wp.me/p6Ks2i-8M8" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #4c1130;">Maja Design Blog</span></b></a>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have a brand new card to share today! I'm using </span><a href="http://majadesign.nu/products/vintage-autumn-basics/" style="font-size: x-large;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>Vintage Autumn Basics</b></span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> collection </span><span style="font-size: large;">again because it's one of my absolute favorites. It's full of rich colors and romantic vintage images, but can be used during any season of the year.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">There are many layers to this card which I am trying to capture in the photos, though it doesn't always show up as well as I'd like. The base layers are hand distressed, layered, and stitched together. The chipboard frame is painted with my own recipe of acrylics to blend in with the paper tones, then lightly inked over in timber brown to give it some 'age'.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Welcome! I wish you the happiest of hellos!! I hope you're well and enjoying a lovely spring season. Has your garden started to bloom yet? My Camellias are just finishing up, and I have roses and azaleas blooming now. Spring is the most fragrant time of the year in Charleston. The air smells so sweet and the breeze is so mild. I feel blessed to wake up to each new day. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm also excited because I have the honor of presenting on the <a href="https://wp.me/p6Ks2i-8EI" target="_blank"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>Maja Design Blog</b></span></a> today, so I have something new to share with you! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I love anything and everything 'time' themed. It can be art, a time travel series or movie, or a vintage clock or pocket watch. I adore it all. With this in mind I felt inspired by Maja Design's gorgeous <a href="http://majadesign.nu/products/vintage-autumn-basics/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>Vintage Autumn Basics</b></span></a> collection to create this new card. </span><br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There is quite a bit of fussy cutting involved with this card, from the clock to the vintage lady, the pink flowers, and the sentiment. All of this fussy cutting has made me realize I I need better lighting in my craft room or stronger glasses. :-)) </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I adore the color pink, and especially the pinks found in this collection! Each sheet of design paper is distressed, layered, and stitched to form a sturdy base. The wildflowers are handmade from the paper collection, as are rose leaves, corner frame, vintage photo, fussy cut roses, and postcard embellishments. </span> </div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This is how we use the mood boards: </span></div>

<em style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">[a board used by designers on which samples of various colours and textures are mounted to help in deciding which elements complement each other]</span></em></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We are using mood boards for our challenges. We truly believe in creativity and art at Maja Design. You are free to interpret the mood boards in any way you’d like. They are supposed to set you in an inspirational mood without too much controlling. We would like you to be inspired by the poems, words and photos. They are not given rules, they are just there as inspiration. Feel free to use any Maja papers you’d like as long as they follow the color scheme.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We will pick a winner and present it on the Maja Design blog on December 26th.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Have in mind that these challenges are a really great way for us to discover new talents and maybe some future Creative Team members…</span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">♥ Feel free to send us more than one picture, from different angles or some close-ups – or why not more than one project?</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">♥ Publish the project/s on your blog (or/and any social media, e.g. Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest) with a link to our site. Please also add the picture of the mood board.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello, my sweet crafty friends! How are you doing today? We've had temperatures between 70-80 degrees in my corner of the world. Our Camellia's are in full bloom and spring is in the air, at least for the moment. It really has me feeling like springtime has arrived, and hence the inspiration for this card I'm sharing on the <a href="https://wp.me/p6Ks2i-8Bb" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #a64d79;">Maja Design Blog</span></b></a> today, the spring tea room!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The spring tea room is a unique tradition of the southern United States. Each spring local churches host a daily tea for a week or two. They come complete with lovely music, the most delectable homemade luncheon choices, scrumptious desserts, and of course, tea! Each lady is escorted to their table by a formally clad southern gentleman. It's all very genteel, and after enjoying your dining experience you can shop from a vast variety of handmade items and goodies in the tea room shop. If you're ever visiting this region you should definitely plan to attend a church tea room.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Maja Design's beautiful 'Coffee in the Arbour' paper collection is the absolute perfect paper collection to bring this card to life.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The blooms are handmade from the paper collection and sit atop a chipboard frame featuring flowers and flourishes. A dusting of gesso tones down some of the brighter color. It's a little trick you can use when you want to achieve a more muted look.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello dear friends and welcome! I hope everyone who lives in the areas that were affected by the severe cold has recovered from the experience and your weather is getting back to normal. I was taken down by the flu for a few weeks, so I haven't been back in my craft room until this past weekend. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello, and welcome! I hope you're staying warm and cozy as winter begins to settle in. I'm sharing a new Christmas card here and on the <a href="https://wp.me/p6Ks2i-8tZ" target="_blank"><span style="color: #660000;"><b>Maja Design Blog</b></span></a> today. I'm super excited because it's my first time working with Maja Design's brand new paper collection, <a href="http://majadesign.nu/products/christmas-season/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #660000;">Christmas Season</span></b></a>, and I'm completely in love with it! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The papers are distressed, layered, and stitched, forming a base for the embellishments. An image from the paper collection makes for a perfect sentiment and focal point. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A wintery collection of florals anchors the sentiment, while a trio of tiny bells jingle cheerily whenever the card is moved about. Frosty touches of gesso add an icy chill to the florals and around the edges of the card, and a loopy twine bow ties everything together. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello, and happy Monday! How was your week? Did you have a chance to get in some crafty time? </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It was a lovely weekend in Charleston. I was delighted to attend the 2018 Scottish Games and Highland Gathering at Boone Hall Plantation, and though I didn't find my beloved Jamie Fraser (from Outlander), I did TRY to find him (see photo below-lol)! I also devoured every last bite of a meat pie, which was absolutely delicious, and got in a bit of shopping. I now have several new scarves from clans which my family does not belong to, but I have an addiction to scarves (seriously), and couldn't stop myself from adding to my collection. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">After a long day outdoors, I came home and pulled out all of my Christmas goodies! I started cutting and stitching, and have my very first Christmas card to show for it. I'm posting on the <a href="https://wp.me/p6Ks2i-8nQ" target="_blank"><span style="color: #660000;"><b>Maja Design Blog</b> </span></a>today, so this card came in just under the wire. I'm working with the "<a href="http://majadesign.nu/products/i-wish/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #660000;">I Wish</span></b></a>" paper collection. I love the warmth and festive cheer of these papers. Just looking at them makes me want to bake up a batch of holiday goodies while singing my favorite carols, then curling up on my sofa to watch a marathon of Hallmark Christmas movies. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello, sweet friends! I hope you're having a beautiful and delightful day. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I'm presenting on the </span><a href="https://wp.me/p6Ks2i-8mp" style="font-size: x-large;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>Maja Design Blog</b></span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> today, and I have a brand new card to share. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm playing with Maja Design's </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://majadesign.nu/products/walking-in-the-forest/" target="_blank">Walking in the Forest</a></b></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">papers once again, because I'm completely in love with this season. To quote Winnie the Pooh, it's "a time for hot chocolatey mornings, and toasting marshmallow evenings, and best of all, leaping into leaves!" </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The rich, gorgeous colors in this collection are absolute perfection for creating leafy autumnal projects! </span><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-32144" src="http://majadesign.nu/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/A-3-.jpg" height="640" width="640" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Honestly, the papers do all of the work for you, bringing the change of seasons to life on the page. I'm layering and distressing each of my layers, then stitching them together on my sewing machine. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You don't need to add stitching, but I feel like it gives it 'that little something extra'. </span><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-32146" src="http://majadesign.nu/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/A-5-1.jpg" height="640" width="639" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The floral spray provides a focal point as it tumbles down the front of the card, drawing from the colors in the collection. Even the leaves are die cut from the collection then tucked in amongst the flowers and berries. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm doing a bit of rubber stamping on the exterior and interior of the card, as well as with the sentiment used to create the band encircling the bouquet. </span><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-32145" src="http://majadesign.nu/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/A-4-1-1.jpg" height="640" width="640" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Below you'll find a peek of the inside with coordinating stamping. Of course, you'll also find a bow. I always feel like my cards aren't truly finished without one. </span><br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello! Welcome, welcome, welcome!! I hope you're having a great day. All is well here, with lots of happy time spent in my craft room. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's already the first week of October, and many of you are already reveling in the refreshing brace of fall. It's still in the 90's in Charleston, so we have to wait a couple of months to enjoy those cooler temperatures.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">To escape the heat we're planning a mountain holiday, where we'll partake in all the delights of autumn, including nature's glorious display of color. The Smoky Mountains, always teaming with abundance and life, transition from the lush green of summer, to every shade of orange, yellow, red, olive, and brown. It's a sight of such beauty that it seems almost otherworldly, like something out of a story book. That's where I got my inspiration for today's card that I'm sharing on the <a href="https://wp.me/p6Ks2i-8kO" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #274e13;">Maja Design Blog</span></b></a>, and there could be no better paper collection to bring it to like than Maja Design's <a href="http://majadesign.nu/products/walking-in-the-forest/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>Walking in the Forest</b></span></a>.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The beautiful design papers are distressed and stitched to form a multi-layered base.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Purchased paper flowers and die cut leaves of multiple varieties comprise the floral spray, anchoring and drawing the eye to the focal point of die cut tags and bird stamps, all created using the paper collection.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The sentiment is hand stamped using archival ink.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Finishing touches include a loopy twine bow, fall berries, and a dusting of gesso here and there.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm off to bring some semblance of order to my craft room. It's not always the tidiest of spaces, but it never fails to be the comfiest. It's my own personal Hobbit-hole, where I'm never far from a tea kettle and a cozy day of crafting.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you so much for stopping by! I wish you the loveliest of days filled with all things good and wonderful. I hope you'll have plenty of time to work on your own creations, and especially hope you'll share them at the Maja Design Mood Board Challenge, where you can win an entire collection of Maja Design paper of your choosing! </span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello, and welcome to all of my sweet friends! I hope you're well and enjoying the advent of the fall season. I'm having a joyful day filled with flower making, stamping, and playing with my pretty Maja Design papers, all of which has led to this new card to share with you, as well as on the <b><a href="https://wp.me/p6Ks2i-8jF" target="_blank"><span style="color: #20124d;">Maja Design Blog</span></a></b>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm using <b><a href="http://majadesign.nu/products/ska-vi-ta-en-fika/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #20124d;">Maja Design's Fika</span> </a></b>collection again this week, because I'm absolutely in love with purple, and this collection is filled with every hue of this beloved color. I'm working primarily with the deepest purple in the collection (almost a purple-blue), with accents in lighter tones.</span><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-31973" src="http://majadesign.nu/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/3-a.jpg" height="640" width="639" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm like a kid at Christmas with some new stamps I have in my collection, and have been busily stamping away, finding new ways to use them in my projects.</span><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-31976" src="http://majadesign.nu/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/6-a-.jpg" height="637" width="640" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm also in flower making mode. I love creating flowers from Maja Design papers. It's the best paper I've ever found for this purpose, and when I take the time to make my own, my flowers perfectly coordinate with each project. I have tutorials for these roses here on my blog for anyone who would like to give them a try.</span><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-31975" src="http://majadesign.nu/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/5-a-.jpg" height="640" width="640" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The leaves are die cut and tucked in amongst the florals, along with autumnal berries resin frames, and a natural twine bow.</span><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-31977" src="http://majadesign.nu/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/10-a-.jpg" height="639" width="640" /><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-31978" src="http://majadesign.nu/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/a-11-.jpg" height="640" width="639" /><br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm now sitting at my very messy craft desk, blissfully surrounded by layer upon layer of Maja Design goodness, and I'm counting my blessings to have had a chance to create something today. Taking the time to use our hands, minds, and energy doing something we love is so important to our mental and physical health. I hope you'll be able to find some quiet moments in your day to bring your masterpieces to life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I would especially love it if you'd point me in the direction of your own gorgeous creations. I wish you a week filled with love, magic, and crafty adventures!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hugs,</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello, dear friends! I'm so happy you're here on this wonderful Monday. I hope everyone who is a mother had a lovely Mother's Day, at least in the U.S., as I know it's on a different day in other countries. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm excited to be presenting on the <b><a href="https://wp.me/p6Ks2i-82Q" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Maja Design Blog</span></a></b> today with a card I created for my daughter's birthday. I want her to have a card with all of my love put into it. That's really what crafting and art are about for me; putting my heart and soul into a creation that will hopefully brighten someone's day. I've been drawn to pastels recently, which seems to happen this time of year, so for this card I'm using the beautiful <b><a href="http://majadesign.nu/products/coffee-in-the-arbour/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Coffee in the Arbor</span></a></b> collection.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello, friends! I hope you're enjoying a truly wonderful day! I'm presenting on the <a href="https://wp.me/p6Ks2i-80p" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">Maja Design Blog</span></b></a> today, and I'm excited to share a new card. I have a friend in need of something special for a loved one battling a serious illness, so I've created this in hopes of providing a bit of cheer to her day. I gave quite a bit of thought to which papers to use, and for this project I am inspired by the beautiful pastels of the <a href="http://majadesign.nu/products/sofiero/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">Sofiero </span></b></a>collection.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It's almost impossible to show glitter effects in photos (I rarely use it), but this card has glittery sparkle within the bouquet tumbling down the center for a 'fairytale' feel. The flowers are a mix of Prima and handmade. You'll find the two that are handmade at the bottom of the floral spray, which are my first attempt at Foamiran flowers.</span></div>

The colors are so fresh and cheery, just like a spring day!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Design papers are distressed, layered, and stitched to form a base. Handmade florals crafted from design papers are the focal point of the card. Frothy lace and loopy twine bows add a feminine touch.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Below is a close up of the stamped sentiment. I enjoying creating cards to keep on hand to suit multiple occasions, and this one will be perfect for those times I need a last minute card.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The curlicues are made by twisting strips of design paper around the tiny end of a paint brush. A script stamp adds a bit of interest to the corners.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Below is a peek of the interior of the card. Coordinating design papers and script stamping give a cohesive appearance with the front of the card.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We are using mood boards for our challenges. We truly believe in creativity and art at Maja Design. You are free to interpret the mood boards in any way you’d like. They are supposed to set you in an inspirational mood without too much controlling. We would like you to be inspired by the poems, words and photos. They are not given rules, they are just there as inspiration. Feel free to use any Maja papers you’d like as long as they follow the color scheme.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We will pick a winner and present it on the Maja Design blog on December 26th.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;">I adore this month's palette of purples and greens with emphasis on flowers, nature, and gardens.

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello! I wish you the warmest of welcomes. I hope you had a lovely Easter. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have a new card to share with you. I created it for my dear friend's birthday,</span><span style="font-size: large;"> and I'm honored to be presenting it on the </span><a href="https://wp.me/p6Ks2i-7Vb" style="font-size: x-large;" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #134f5c;">Maja Design Blog</span></b></a><span style="font-size: large;">! I'm drawn to a soothing palette in my friend's favorite color, and have found just what I'm looking for in Maja Design's </span><b style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://majadesign.nu/products/vintage-summer-basics/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #134f5c;">Vintage Summer Basics</span></a></b><span style="font-size: large;"> paper collection. </span><span style="font-size: large;">This collection is a staple for me and coordinates well with Maja Design's other paper collections. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-30455" src="http://majadesign.nu/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/A-2-.jpg" height="640" width="640" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The larger flowers are handmade using design papers. If you'd like to make this style of flower you'll find a link to the step by step tutorial in the sidebar of my blog. All papers are not created equal, and after thorough testing I have determined that Maja Design paper is the best for flower making. It stands up perfectly to all of the twisting and shaping I use in my process, which breaks down lesser quality papers to shreds.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-30462" src="http://majadesign.nu/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/A-14-.jpg" height="640" width="640" /><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Stamping along the edges adds a special touch, as does the sentiment stamp (below) which is just perfect for my friend.</span><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-30459" src="http://majadesign.nu/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/A-10-.jpg" height="640" width="640" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A trio of sweet butterflies flutter about my little flower garden.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Decorative corner die cuts anchor the florals as they cascade down the card.</span><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-30457" src="http://majadesign.nu/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/A-8-.jpg" height="640" width="640" /><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Below is a peek at the interior of the card.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello, and welcome! How are you doing on this lovely Tuesday?</span><span style="font-size: large;">I'm back today with a new card that I'm sharing on the </span><b style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://wp.me/p6Ks2i-7T5" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;">Maja Design Blog</span></a></b><span style="font-size: large;">! This makes twice in the same week, which is kind of a record for me lately, and I couldn't be happier to be able to be here with you.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For Today's card I'm creating with another one of my favorite Maja Design collections, <a href="http://majadesign.nu/products/ska-vi-ta-en-fika/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;"><b>Ska vi ta en Fika</b></span></a>. If you love purples as much as I do, this collection is a must-have for your craft room. </span><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-30325" height="640" src="http://majadesign.nu/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/A-2.jpg" width="640" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Welcome to my happy place! Is there anything more magical than a secluded garden overflowing with untamed blooms? There is much joy to be found here involving all of the senses. Imagine being surrounded by the sweet fragrance of roses, or the delicate texture of a petal on your fingertips. For this reason there is much effort in the handcrafted flowers for this card, as I truly want to bring this garden to life. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Below you'll find some close ups of the handmade roses. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The sentiment stamp speaks to my heart, for gardens truly are a place of miracles. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A tiny key to the gates can be found in the corner of the card, as this garden is open to all who care to share in this space. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I wish a happy hello to all of my sweet friends! How are you doing today? I hope you're well and enjoying fine weather, though March can certainly be and unpredictable month. I'm once again honored to be posting on the <a href="https://wp.me/p6Ks2i-7Sx" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #741b47;">Maja Design Blog</span></b></a>, sharing this new card inspired by springtime flowers and pastels. I'm using the lovely <a href="http://majadesign.nu/products/coffee-in-the-arbour/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #741b47;">Coffee in the Arbour</span></b></a> paper collection, as the pretty yellows, greens, and roses seem to sing to me.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZkZbRb0QTWLdNlYTXiJbUPjEZJhiSWQ-gad3u-oxOIEhDXEtrqwVRaKzS_LhQth6COS0gk7Ey5IGaYhHkENH1tuUbEwjRNRDBLbZ81TGxYx4wh11sxE8XvMDBkYxmpKxc_yOP2xzBB2Gu/s1600/A+1+.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="799" data-original-width="800" height="638" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZkZbRb0QTWLdNlYTXiJbUPjEZJhiSWQ-gad3u-oxOIEhDXEtrqwVRaKzS_LhQth6COS0gk7Ey5IGaYhHkENH1tuUbEwjRNRDBLbZ81TGxYx4wh11sxE8XvMDBkYxmpKxc_yOP2xzBB2Gu/s640/A+1+.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Featured in today's card are handcrafted blooms, leaves, and layers of pastel design paper. You'll also find some painted and distressed corrugated board, natural twine, and venice lace, for hints of the rustic as well as a feminine touch. A bit of grunge and elegant script stamping add to the overall effect. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's my honor to be posting on the <a href="https://wp.me/p6Ks2i-7MK" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #741b47;">Maja Design Blog</span></b></a> today, and while looking through my recent projects, I realized it's been a very long time since I've used one of my favorite collections, <a href="http://majadesign.nu/products/vintage-autumn-basics/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #741b47;">Vintage Autumn Basics</span></b></a>. The beautiful purples and mauves from this lovely collection always call to me, and are the inspiration for my card.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The papers are so versatile that twine is the only embellishment that is not created from the collection.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The roses and leaves are handmade using design paper. I hope to have a new rose tutorial ready for you on my next post. I meant to have it for you today, but because we have the flu in our home the smallest things (like editing photos) seem insurmountable. Happily, we are all recovering, so a tutorial will be following shortly.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello, friends! I'm so happy you've stopped in for a visit. I hope you're having a great day. Are you ready to be finished with winter and move on to spring yet? I'm ready for spring on January 2nd, but mother nature rarely cooperates. My bird feeders have been really busy since the cold set in, so I've been spending time crafting and admiring all the sweet little songbirds. </span></div>

I wish you a warm and cozy welcome on this fine winter day! I'm recovering from the flu this week. It found me on the last day of our week in Disney World, so thankfully our vacation was unspoiled by illness, but the 8 hour drive home was really difficult for me. We got home at midnight on Saturday morning, and I was in the urgent care office when they opened their doors a few short hours later. I am very thankful for Tamiflu, because obviously the flu shot I got in October was worthless. I'm finally starting to feel a bit more human again, and very, very happy to be back in my craft room. </span></span><br />

The new release is in honor of Maja Design's 10th anniversary, and if you haven't checked these festive papers out yet, you're in for a treat. It's filled with fabulous patterns, colors, and spectacular vintage images reminiscent of the romance and gaiety of the roaring twenties. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This lovely image of a fashionable 'flapper' lady forms a perfect focal point, and is fussy cut from the paper collection. Black is heavily featured in the palette because it reminds me of a Coco Chanel quote, "Women think of all colors except the absence of color. I have said that black has it all." When it comes to style, I'm always inspired by Coco Chanel quotes. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pearl sprays, roses, and a loopy bow add a feminine touch. Of course, there must be pearls on this card, because according to Coco Chanel, "A woman needs ropes and ropes of pearls." I happen to agree with her completely. </span> <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The sentiment and roses are also fussy cut from the paper collection. There are quite a few layers here, many of which are popped up with foam adhesive to add dimension. </span><br />
