Hi everyone! I'm so excited to be sharing this post today for my Maja Design Team! (I have an awesome MAJA DESIGN GIVEAWAY today....further down the post!) and It's the first Tuesday of the month so that means it's time for the Maja Mood Board Challenge! I made the above page using the September Mood Board as my inspiration. The mood board colors are based on the 'Walking in the Forest' collection, and are just perfect for those autumn photos! The photo I scrapped above is of my daughters best friend, I took this photo when they were are the Maple Syrup festival, they were eating some of those huge smoked turkey legs, and her friend was hamming it up with the turkey bone :)
As I mentioned I used the 'Walking in the Forest" collection for this page, here are the individual papers I used from this collection to make up the page...
I used a bunch of Recollection blooms to decorate the page, and I found this clay bloom I made a little while back using Fimo and some Pearlex powder and a glass bead, I thought the colors went well with page so I just added it into my bloom cluster.
The blue flower is from Petaloo and the chipboard is a border flourish from Dusty Attic that I cut in half and used in a couple of places on the page.
I also used another Dusty Attic chipboard piece Berrie Branches to frame the photo. The mask I used around the photo is the Prima mask by Finnabiar. I used the Clearsnap Distress Ink in Denim and Honey.
Have I mentioned how much I love the My Little Yellow Bicycle word stamps?! I just adore the swirly font they use, and the words are really the sort I can use for my everyday layouts!

Hi Gaby...what a beautiful page; love how you shine it with pop of blue; it looks so soothing to the eyes.

I like this collection and the blue roses caught my eyes. Thank you for inspiring me as always and the chance to involve in the giveaway.
Hugs and smiles,

Mary Jo
I love Maja collection so beautiful and stunning and of course your design is ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL I sure have learn a lot from you!!
OMG!!! So stunning LO!!! I love all papers of Maja, especially papers with roses)
Skønt LO du har lavet, fuld af fine detaljer, og overraskelser, uden at virke overhængt.
Og Majas papir er et hit, jeg er vild med de sarte farver, ure, roser og den smukke vintage dame forest, jeg ville elske hvis det var mig der vandt. knus morkaren.
I absolutely love Maja Designs papers and this collection is no exception. And the layout is beautiful
Another beautiful layout and another beautiful collection from Maja. The striped pages and the one with the lady on it appeal to me the most, but I love the fact that the collection has both more masculine and feminine papers.
Simply wonderful this collection.
I loved the colors.
I love the Maja Design papers and would love to win them for this!
Gorgeous work as always Gabi!!! Love the little details you always do. The new line of Maja is just gorgeous. Love it all. Whoever designs for them...well what can I say...beautiful. Loving the colors. These papers just put you in an awesome mood just looking at them!!!
Just love the special details you put on your projects!! Beautiful. I love ALL the Maja papers. The colors are stunning as well as the designs on them. They like put you in a peaceful mood just looking at them. Thanks for the chance to own some!
Another gorgeous layout with the great Maja papers! I guess I'm addicted already to all of their collections and can't wait to get my hands on the new Vintage Autumn Basics. What I love most about this new range are the beige and burgundy coloured ones, I expect them to work well with my sepia heritage photos, that I plan to make an album with. Fact is that all Maja collections combine just great together, no matter what collections you'd like to mix and match. And it's a plus that you can use the cut-off strip on each sheet as well as an extra accent on your scrapbooking pages.
love your layout! the colors are so right for this! thank you for the opportunity to win!
This is so incredibley soft and pretty. Love what you did with all the elements that tie teh papers together! Beautiful!
Awesome LO. Just love the blues. Almost speaks to me, discovering your kind of display.
thanks Gabrielle and Maja Designs for another great giveaway!
So love this layout - everytime I look at it there's new details to swoon over!
Which is my favourite paper from the Vintage Autumn collection? Well, it's a really hard decision because they are all so versatile! The ones with white space are perfect for mixed media fun with lots of colors and textures and stencils; the lovely patterned ones are just right for building layers upon layers - be it cards or minis; and those with the balloon and clock elements satisfy the fussy-cutting fetish in all of us! If I had to pick one, it would have to be the lady with the pink and maroon palette. Would so love to create a layout for my mother as she has been such an inspiration in my life.
I really like the papers with the old fashioned roses. They would make such pretty little girl pages.
A stunning LO. Love all the details. Great paper of course and a plus for the stitching....love it.
Thanks for the change to win
Sinikka
What a gorgeous LO!!! They colors are so perfectly matched, I love it!!!
When I saw the Maja Designs new autumn collection I fell in love immediately. I think that the balloons are my favorite, but I also have a weakness for clocks.
I would love to win this!
Thanks!

Absolutely stunning LO, I love the Maja papers and what you do with them and I regularly stalk you blog to get inspiration and ideas. Thank you for the chance to win the Maja papers.

Hi Gabrielle, you did such a gorgeous job on the moodboard and the vintage collection. I loved Maja papers right from the start, they are so pretty and elegant and vintagy.
Which one caught my eye in this pack? Emmmm, let's see: the blue ones, the green ones and the vintage reds, impossible to choose ;)
the new collection of papers are just scrummy, how can you make us chose, autumn is my fav time of the year, and all the colours are beautiful, your page is stunning, all the work you`ve put in it, just adore the butterfly at the top of the page, dragging the page down, inspiring, xx
I just recently found the fb page - tons of fab inspiration and fun stuff. LOOOOOVE your layout, love the papers obviously but all the fab techniques you used, just bring it to life. The new collection is stunning!! LOVE the colours and the styles, first I thought the spot/stripe/vintage rose combo is my fav...but then I LOVE the vintage lady and man page......oh dear TOO much prettiness to pick a favourite!! lol PS thanks for the awesome inspiration AND the fun chance!!x
I just love your blog and layouts!! I am a relatively new follower and have been bLown away by each of your posts. I love the muted colors of the Maja papers and like the mix of florals with stripes. I just got my first order from Dusty Attic and I am going to attempt a page this weekend!!
Thanks so much for the lovely kit offering; delightful & fresh lookin' kit!!! So soft of colors... Mary Anne lm.lifeturn@hotmail.com
Oh, Gabrielle... you lighten up my day with your stunning layouts! I can stay hours looking at them, "discovering" every detail and just soaking in all the beauty and the care you put into your work. ... and what is not to like on these papers??? Love all the Maja papers even though have never seen one personally. Thank you so much for this opportunity!
Gorgeous new papers for fall. We seldom see a paper with gentlemen and the vintage sheets with the gentleman and the other with the elegant lady caught my attention.
What a beautiful collection! I love vintage roses paper I. This collection! Thank you for a chance, I would love to try this paper!
I just love your pages! They are just stunning! And you always use the prettiest materials like the papers, flowers, ...
You really give the papers that extra, although they don't need that 'caus they aleady look great. Hm how can I explain?! You just know what to do with them so their beauty pops up!

All the colours in the Maya papers are fabulous, but I love the hot air balloons particularly as I'm a great fan of anything blue.
What a beautiful collection! I love all prints, florals are my favorite!
Hi Gabrielle,
My mum and I are only new scrappers.
We thought it would be an excellent hobby to start so we could spend more time together.
My mum was searching on the internet a while ago and we stumbled upon your Website.
We could not believe how beautiful your layouts are!!
You are such an inspiration, we have put down the tv remote and scrapped every spare moment we have haha.
Everyday we check your website hoping to be the first to see your newest creation! Maja design are my favourite Scrapbook designers.
I can’t wait to see what beautiful layout you will create with the new collection!!
My favourite page would have to be the one covered in roses, no wait the one with floating hot air balloons, oh and I do like the one with the lady..
Cant they all be my favourite?!! Thank you for the opportunity to win this collection!
Hilary-Anne
I just recently found your blog and I'm so glad I did. Your style is beautiful. This week I made a mixed media canvas after watching your latest video and I love the way it turned out. Thanks for the tutorial; it was easy to follow and gave a lot of details. My favorite papers in the new Autumn collection would be the florals; I'm drawn to florals and also the stripes; they are lovely. I also love the page with the vintage lady on it. Ok so I guess I can't just pick one but the combination would be great to work with.
Phyllis
Awesome giveaway! all papers are so beautiful. expecially I loved the blue ones. Thanks for the chance to win.
OMG, your blog is STUNNING!!!! I'm a new follower and discovered your amazing creations through the Maja Design page. I LOVE all your layout and specially those flowers you made.
I have to say that I like the colours on the new collection. I think my favorite would be the one with the balloon. Hugs, Brigitte
I can't believe how Maja consistently designs papers that have such amazing appeal! I absolutely love the colors in the Vintage Autumn Basics - the rich blues and muted reds...I adore the beige with the little vining roses - I just want to see each and every one up close - can't wait! Thank you for the opportunity to win and I absolutely love your layout above - the plaid and checkerboard dots are perfect together and your flourishes are placed so perfectly. Looooovvvveeee your work!!!
Gorgeous layout! Love how you gathered the tiny bit & used the butterfly like a clip holding it in place!
Wow, you've done such a beautiful job on this collection!! I looooove Maja designs every collection so far, but the vintage seasons packs from this year are my faves! The old blue and green caught my eye right away :)
The papers with the yellow and blue are gorgeous. I love your work and just recently came upon it after seeing your video on mixed media. I am now a follower! C Boswell
I can't decide if I like the lady in the dress, the hot air balloons or the clocks best. So hard to choose!
Hi Gabrielle,
It all started for me when I searched for a tutorial to make paper ruffles for a page I was trying to create, to tidy up some loose baby photos I had. I came across your dream baby layout with three beautiful Maja ruffles along the bottom of the layout. The soft patterning and dusty pink tones instantly appealed to me - something I definitely had to try. Perhaps a little adventurous for a novice scrapbooker at the time!! but I have not looked back.
It has led me on a trail, sourcing Dusty Attic chippies, Maja Sofiero from the UK, Cheery Lynn"s Deco dies and Heidi Swapp stencils online from as far away as a tiny fishing Island( nine miles long by about four miles wide) called Grand Isle, Louisiana in the US. I have met such lovely people along the way - all sharing the same passion. As a result my children are now great friends with the Australia Post delivery man too!!
Maja designs stockists are rare here in Australia but are growing at a steady pace as demand increases - I am sure due to your beautiful layouts and very helpful information given with them on your blog. They are a credit to you. Your layouts are very inspiring they have a truly feminine touch filled with girly bits and pieces, cleverly fitted in just the right spots. You a very talented. When I am playing around with ideas and the table becomes unbelievably layered with embellishments and papers, my husband sometimes comments on the mess, but I often think to myself it’s okay, it is a mess but it is such a pretty mess!
I have a period home and I try to put an antique aged look to everything I do (which can be very difficult living in such modern simplistic times) hence the need to source time worn materials which exude oldfashionedness, with a hint of prettiness! The new Maja range is exactly that. I would be in heaven with these papers and would combine them with photos of hot air ballooning I did as a teenager 30 years ago. I have not been able to find a vintage paper to combine them with.
Thanks for such a great blog. I have learnt so much from it and it makes my day to read your latest post and to see what you have been busy doing.
Vanessa
So beautiful!! Love pink with flowers paper.
Your creations are awesome!

Hugs Julie P
1st of all - stunning layout! Love the layers, the colors, the flowers, the composition. Awesome :)
Now for the candy - thanks for the chance to win.
The 1st thing that caught my eye was the beautiful flowers, both in blue and pink. Also I love the clocks and the air-balloons :)
Gabi as always your layouts are stunning. I just love that balloon paper in the collection. I have a ton of pictures from the Quechee VT balloon festival that are dying to find a home :)
You have to love Maja Designs their papers are so gorgeous the color scheme is beautiful! It would be perfect for a special project I am doing for a family whose two year old daughter is fighting a battle against an aggressive form of leukemia. Kiki is adorable and each member of the family a hero in their own right. Doing this album for them as a keepsake is my way of supporting them ( and preserving memories God forbid if Kiki loses this fight). Kiki's mom was in tears when I told her I would do it. I now have my fingers crossed for that gorgeous paper! All the best!
I love your blog so full of good ideas,you are so clever. Thankyou for a chance towing this wonderful collection.
Hi Gabrielle im new follower by day, i love so much your Lo and mixed media canvas, thanks for the chance to win, I think my favorite would be the one with the clock. Hugs, Tiziana ♥
This is my very first time to see your blog since I'm a recent retiree and relatively new at scrapbooking. I love that you give step by step directions with the pictures of your pages. I will certainly be looking at your blog again! And these fall sets of papers are simply beautiful. I like the clock/watch page and I think I would pair the dusty burgundy striped page with that vintage lady that I love.
Awesome giveaway, thank you for the chance. Your layouts are gorgeous and I love what you do with the beautiful maja papers. I had to wait to finish a deadline at work to come back to comment!
Your work is amazing! I love all the papers but the blues are my favorite!
