photo frame *Maja Design*

Hi all! My first project for Maja Design in this new year.

So happy to stay with this fabulous team for another year!

First of all, I want to wish all of my creative friends a wonderful, healthy and creative 2015!!!!

I want to begin this new year with a project I made for my daughter.

As you might know she is studying in America and this mom is seriously missing her! LOL!

I wanted to make something special so I created this photo frame and added the big handle, a bit symbolic so I can always carry her with me, like a little suitcase. I'm a bit sentimental, sorry! LOL

Btw...this girl is having the time of her live, so this mom is happy! :)

Made this photo frame with the gorgeous Vintage Autumn collection.

You can find the best embellies at the most strange places:  found those big wooden buttons at a local christmas market last year! :)

I used No.I for the front and No.XII for the front torn paper and the sides.

The pink rolled flowers were made with the heritage paper sheet.

My beautiful daughter.

Added some lace around the frame.

The chipboard, painted white with gesso, is from Dusty Attic.

These beautiful white fabric flowers are from 13arts.

Added some pearls, a Tim Holtz clock and Prima handles.

A metal handle from an old cabinet.

Gave it a touch with gesso.

This metal leaf and the dangle on the side were found at a local home decor store.

Papers used:

No.I, No.XII and heritage sheet (pink rolled flowers).

Enjoy your day!
