Frog Dog Studio is a monthly Mixed Media kit club. We have a talented team of designers who will share video and photo tutorials on how to make kit projects
and use kit supplies, in easy, fun, and creative ways. We pride ourselves on making the world Mixed Media friendly and want to share our excitement and passion for creating art with our subscribers.

Maja Design Corp is based in Uddevalla, Sweden. We are dedicated to create unique and high quality vintage inspired patterned paper for scrapbooking and crafts. Maja Design was founded in November 2007, and since then, have grown to supply over 70 retailers in Sweden and 90 all over the world. Founder Marie Jansson says: "In the fall of 2004, a dear friend asked me to join her to a scrapbooking course. From that moment, I became totally amazed and thrilled by all the beautiful papers and decorations in the art of scrapbooking. After some time as a captivated scrapper, I got curious to create my own patterns. I have always had a devotion for color and form. I had access to great printing facility, as I worked at a printers office. Since 2007, I have been blessed to be able to work with my great passion - to design and create colored coordinated paper."
We would love to see how this mood board inspires you!
I have two young daughters. I love to watch them change and grow. At 7 and 5 years old, their personalities are really emerging. I take a ton of pictures of my girls and spend a lot of time with them, but every so often I snap a photo that really opens my eyes to how fast they are changing. I used one such photo of my oldest daughter for this layout.
I used the gorgeous 7 Dots Studio 9th Wave collection for this page. I incorporated several colors from the mood board and the challenge theme of change into my design. I built up layers of vintage newspaper, trinkets and lace with items from my Zeus and Zoe Kit. I also used one of Marivic's fabulous Berry71Bleu Handmade Tags.
I added both color and texture to the background of this page with Liquitex gesso and acrylic paints.
I used 7 Dots Studio "Love is in the Air" Papers and Elements.
