Good morning lovelies. 

There are some pretty amazing changes on this team! We now have new dies every month and a blog hop to introduce the new dies. And we are pretty glad that you are following us in this wonderful process so please keep doing so. With that being said I would like to show you a card I made {lately I can't find the time to make layouts, but that will come after the summer time}.  Speaking of summertime, this card was made with that NEW collection by Maja Design - a surprise, if you visit my blog you could win that collection.   

Amazing Summertime:

 Behind the Quatrefoil I placed a piece of transparante sheet to make my card see through.  That gives such a nice effect and it looks like your card has much dimension. I am in need of that vacation break so badly.  I just need to work for another month {why does that sound so long?}.  This card makes my heart sing.....

 Yesterday I was making flowers all day to use on my cards and layouts in the next coming months. I am totally hooked, so when I am off work later today I will keep going.  Wish me luck. On the picture below you can see how it looks with the see through part. Hopefully you are not getting tired of me using that collection.

Good morning lovelies. 

Don't you just love the North America collection and did you already hop with us? I for sure had fun with the "Florida"die! But that's not all, there is a wonderful release coming up in May too. 

I am so excited for it and I can't wait to show you my work. 

Today I'd like to share a 8x8 layout I made with the "Vintage Summer Basics" collection by Maja Design and this time I went for the earth colors & blue. 

Fabulous Summer: 

The picture I used is one of my beautiful nieces Jamie who was born in Florida but now she moved somewhere else in the States. Don't you just love that sea?  It's so pretty it makes me long for summer even more. On the base of my layout I painted with some white gesso and then I added some paste with a stencil of dots by Finnabair. On those dots I added some pretty star dust stickles to make it shine a bit.  I also did that with the text.  

The first time I was on this amazing design team I got the B394 - Ships Anchor & the B395 - Ships Compass as a new release and I thought well I need to use them again that's why I ordered the B279 - Sand Dollar & Starfish & the B267 - Seahorse Family to have more of those kind of dies.
