Maja Design "Love Letters"

And in between all of my favourite ones I couldn't leave out another one of my projects with gorgeous Maja Design papers. I allready made a 3d typewriter for a few times before, but improved it a little bit this time and made it more shabby-chic. All of the design is handmade, I cut out the base from a chipboard and then played with Maja Design papers to create a whole project. I added a lots of gorgeous flowers, a couple of pencils that I dressed in Maja Design, few matching paperclips and a small envelope that I also made out of Maja Design papers. I used the gorgeous "love" saying from the inspiration photo. I hope you like it! I will be more than happy to read your comments. :) Have a gorgeous day!

Love goes through stomach with Graphic45

I love Graphic45 collections. They make endless possibilities for creating something amazing and unique. This time I decided to make something a little different - A Love project with cooking as a main idea. I used the old good saying "Love comes from the heart but goes through the stomach." I made a red retro pot with dots on a cooking plate and put some veggie soup into it. There are also some carrots, peas and chopped onion and of course some spices along with fresh Basil. All of them made from paper. I used Graphic45 Times Nouveau Classic collection. Do you like it?

Prima Fairytale chest box "Love in Spring"

Prima was one of my first loves. And who could resist the gorgeous pastel color combo that was the main thread of this month's Prima product picks.

I've made a Fairytale chest box that celebrates love and spring. Prima Meadow Lark collection seemed a perfect choice for the color palette.

Have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by and taking time to leave a comment. Love, Aleksandra

Maja design - Time well spent together is the greatest gift of all

We are allready in the middle of this year's first month and it is time for new challenges and new projects. One of my first ones this year in made with gorgeous Maja Design papers following their inspirational "Mood Board". I've made a tea/hot chocolate bag holding box with an inspiring verse: "The greatest gift you can ever give someone is your time. Because you're giving them something you'll never get back." The box is made out of chipboard that I dressed with Maja Design Vintage Spring papers. I tried to capture the meaning of the verse and the inspiration itself, so I made a box with a clock. There are small mittens on the clock pointers and in the middle of the clock there is a gorgeous Swarovski crystal. Beside the clock I made two cups with a hot chocolate and some marshmalows and of course the chic macarons, that are made from polymer clay.

Krepko smo že zakorakali v prvi mesec letošnjega leta in čas je za nove izzive, nove podvige in nove projekte. Eden izmed prvih je nastal s čudovitimi Maja Design papirji po njihovi čudoviti "Mood Board" inspiraciji. Nastalo je namizno stojalo za vrečke čaja ali vroče čokolade, s čudovitim verzom: "Največje darilo, ki ga lahko kadarkoli komurkoli podariš, je čas. S tem mu namreč daješ nekaj, česar nikoli ne boš dobil nazaj." V stojalu sem skušala upodobiti bistvo inspiracije in bistvo same misli, tako da je stojalo izdelano v obliki ure, ob njej pa sta dve skodelici z vročo čokolado in trendovskimi macaronsi. Vse je izdelano iz papirja, le same macaronse sem izdelala iz polimerne gline. Na sredini ure se bohoti Swarovski kristalček, urini kazalci pa so odeti v zimske rokavičke.

Walking in the Winter Wonderland

A lot of snowy little boxes I made during this Holiday season. This snowy winter scene with a deer family which was another variation of some of my older ones, was a gift for family friends and inside of it there were some sweet bites. They were so very happy to receiving them. And may I take this opportunity to wish all of you, my dear blogofriends, a Happy New Year 2016, may all your wishes come true in this season!

Kar nekaj zasneženih darilnih škatlic je nastalo v letošnjem letu. Zasnežena zimska pokrajina z jelenjo družinico, ki je v eni izmed različic ponovno nastala v zadnjih dneh starega leta, je skrivala sladka darilca za naše prijatelje. Ob tej priložnosti naj tudi vsem vam, ki me spremljate na mojem ustvarjalnem blogu zaželim Srečno in vse dobro v letu 2016, ki je pred nami. Naj bo to vaše leto in naj se vam uresničijo vse skrite in manj skrite želje.

Challenges: The Shabby Tea Room: Winter Wonderland

Magical holiday evening

The highlight of the festive season is fast approaching and I am in the middle of my last orders for this years holiday season. It will soon come the anxiously awaited time spent with my family and the dear ones. But I have one more project to share with you. It is a holiday gift box with a miniature Holiday living room on top of it. There is a magical holiday tree with sparkling decorations I made from little styrofoam balls that I covered witl glitter. And the centerpiece is a warm fireplace which has a little electronical tea light inside of it for little extra holiday magic. On the rocking chair by the fire place a mother is reading a story about a Santa to her child. Under the christmas tree the holiday presents are waiting for little arms to unwrap them and be merry. A perfect holiday I wish all the children of this world could rejoice. I used gorgeous Graphic 45 papers that are perfect for that kind of projects.

Vrhunec praznične sezone se hitro približuje in jaz sem sredi zadnjih prazničnih naročil letošnjega leta. Kmalu se bom veselila prazničnega časa, preživetega z mojo družinico in mojimi najdražjimi, ki ga že težko pričakujem. Še pred tem pa z vami delim nov projekt. Praznično darilni škatlico z miniaturno praznično okrašeno dnevno sobo na vrhu. Osrednji del predstavlja topel kamin, v katerem gori električna čajna lučka. Na desni strani kamina pa se bohoti praznično drevesce z bleščečimi okraski. Pred kaminom v gugalniku sedi mati z otročkom v naročju, ki željno posluša pravljico o Božičku. Pod smrekico se skrivajo čudovita darilca, ki čakajo na male ročice, da z njih strgajo papir in se veselijo. Popoln praznični čas, ki si ga želim za vse otroke tega sveta...

The challenges: 1.)The Shabby Tea Room Week #265: Holiday Sparkle

Snowy window - Zasneženo okno

After a long time I managed to find some moments to slightly renew my blog's appearance and along with it goes also the decision to be more active on it. I made that promise a few times now, but sadly never managed to keep it. I hope this time I will be more successful. And I will start with a project that I made with Maja Design papers. I love them and they are my most popular choice for the last few months along with some other brands. This is their newest collection "Home for the Holidays". Since the winter time is approaching I made this snowy window, which hides a box for some candies. The project is made with chipboard which I handcut and then covered with patterned papers. Then I decorated all together to get the snowy scenery. It is a perfect gift for upcoming holidays don't you think?

Po daljšem času sem si uspela ujeti nekaj trenutkov, da sem malce prenovila podobo mojega bloga in spodobi se, da ob tej priložnosti sprejmem odločitev, da bom tudi tu malce bolj aktivna. Kar nekajkrat mi je v zadnjem času ta obljuba že spolzela med prsti in resnično si iz srca želim in upam, da bom tokrat bolj uspešna. Ob tej priložnosti bi rada z vami delila 3d projekt - darilno škatlico z motivom zasneženega okna, v katero lahko skrijete slastne grižljaje. Za izdelavo sem uporabila čudovite papirje Maja Design, ki so v zadnjem času ena izmed mojih najpogostejših izbir. Tukaj sem uporabila njihovo najnovejšo kolekcijo "Home for the Holidays". Škatlica je izdelana iz lepenke, ki sem jo izrezala na roke in zlepila skupaj, nato pa jo okrasila z dekorativnimi papirji in ji vdihnila zimski pridih. Kakšna se vam zdi? Popolno darilo za prihajajoče praznike, kajne? ;)

Škatlico prijavljam na naslednje izzive:
1.) The Shabby Tea Room - "O' Christmas Tree"

Happines often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open

Hello my dear friends in blogoland :) I realy realy struggle with a lack of time so my posts on the blog are not so frequent. But every once in a while I get to share my favourite projects with you. Today I want to share with you a shadow box book card that I made with another of my favourites, Maja design papers. They are gorgeous! I love the thick structure and I am absolutely in love with their shabby chic patterns. The sentiment is from "Flourishes" stamp set, part of which I was as a design team member. This card was custom made for a customer for the celebration of 50th birthday. There was a lot of fussy cutting, but I think it was worth of it. What do you think?

I will participate in the latest "The shabby tea room challenge" which is about Rainbow of colors.

Have a great week ahead! :)


En lep pozdravček vsem, ki me spremljate na mojem blogu. Resnično se borim s hudim primankljajem časa, zato moje objave na blogu niso tako redne kot bi si želela. A na vsake toliko si le uspem utrgati nekaj minutk, da z vami delim moje najljubše projekte. Tokrat bi z vami rada delila moj zadnji projekt, sahow box voščilnico knjigo, ki sem jo izdelala z še enimi od mojih priljubljenih, Maja design papirji. Čudoviti so! Obožujem njihovo kompaktno strukturo in čudovite shabby chic vzorčke. Čudoviti verz je odtis proizvajalca Flourishes, katerega del sem bila tudi sama kot članica design teama. Tale izdelek je bil izdelan po naročilu za praznovanje 50-letnice. Veliko je bilo natančnega rezanja, ki je vzelo ogromno časa, a se mi zdi, da je bilo vsekakor vredno. Kakšna se pa vam zdi? :)

Z izdelkom bom seodelovala v zadnjem izzivu na blogu "The shabby tea room challenge", katerega rdeča nit so tokrat mavrične barve.

Uživajte v tednu, ki je pred vami in naj bo uspešen! :)
