"It's Christmas time" with Maja Design

Slowly I'm getting into mood for the Winter and Christmas season that is on it's way. My first Chrsitmas project this year was made with MajaDesign gorgeous new collection "I wish" and was inspired by this month's MoodBoard. I made a snowy window with a winter landscape outside and a Santa Claus dashing away. And inside the box I captured a cosy room with a warm fireplace, beautiful Christmas tree and Santa with presents for the little girl whose picture is hanging on the wall. I enjoyed making it so much and am looking forward to make more winter projects... my head is overflowed with ideas. I hope I'll be able to keep up with it. :D So... without further adieu I have for you one of my favourites... altered fairytale chestbox with lots of mixed media goodness... And of course I also have a video tutorial for you at the end of this post. If you like it, you can subscribe to my youtube channel so you can be up to date with my latest tutorials. I'll be more than happy if you decide to join me or leave a comment under my post.

So this is it for today. Hope you liked it :)
Have a great weekeend ahead.

Sky is the limit

I love making mixed media projects, mostly 3d art. There is something magical in it that makes my heart sparkle :) My today's inspiration came from Mixed Media Place Mood Board, so I made a hot air baloon in the middle of a blooming meadow. I used a lightbulb to create a hot air ballon, some 13arts sprays and rainbows and flowers from various Graphic45 paper collections. I also made a video tutorial for you. You can find it at the end of the post. Enjoy watching!

Hope you liked it! Thank you for your visit and your comments! They make my day a bit brighter! :)
Hugs,
Aleksandra

Amazing Autumn

Those of you who know my work, are well aware that one of my favourites are exploding boxes. Today I made a mixed media exploding box in autumn colors, with colorful leaves and golden flowers and wishing well. It's perfect for this time and today we've had almost perfect sunny autumn day, so I had my inspiration just looking outside the window. I also made a tutorial for you, so you can make it by yourself. I hope you'll get inspired somehow...

Tutorial on how to make an exploding box "Amazing Autumn":

I'm using Lindy's Stamp Gang color sprays: Wake Me Up Before You Go Gold, My Mojito Green, Cocklebells Corals, Fuzzy Navel Peach.

And Maja Design Papers: Summertime with gorgeous leaf pattern.

And also entering into 13arts - hoped I'll be able to use some of the sprays and paints but the parcel didn't yet arrive :) So I'm looking forward and anxiously waiting for the next week to come. :D
