Wanderlust {a 12x12 by Chrissy Colon}

This photo just begged for me to use fun colors, patterns and of course, confetti and flair. I also had a lot of fun playing around with mists and embossing paste.

I love the flair and how the images really speak to me. And let's not forget about the most awesome chipboard around. I just love how the confetti shapes look in the buff.

Thanks for taking a look!

I Love Chevrons {A 12x12 by DeeDee}

Whoo!! 

Today I'm sharing a layout I created as an Inspiration Post over @ the Amazing Crafting Products Blog. Head over there to learn more about the new Amazing Mold Rubber they've released! 

My layout is a 12x12 based off the Simple Scrapper sketch and I'll be linking up @ Paper Issues.

I really really superbly love this layout! The base is a piece of Cosmo Cricket paper from the Fleuriste collection. The white piece is Limba cardstock from the Paper Issues store. I've used the Circle Confetti Mask, Layered Circles chipboard, Star Confetti chipboard and Sidewalk Chalk Flair from UmWowStudio. All the chipboard has been covered with Archival Ink by Ranger. Chevron Washi Tape from Gauche Alchemy. Row of Stars, Full Moon and Writing Background stamps from Viva Las VegaStamps!. White Box Pleat ribbon from May Arts Ribbons. The bulb is molded with Amazing Mold Rubber and cast in Amazing Clear Cast Resin by Amazing Crafting Products. I also used Tattered Angels Chalkboard Mist in Charcoal. 

You can really see the wood grain on the Limba paper in this close up shot. GOOD NEWS! Design Team coupons are back @ Paper Issues and you can use mine to get 20% off goods!

So if you love this wood grain cardstock as much as I do use coupon code "UmWowStudio" to get 20% off your order!

Random goods from my stash: white cardstock, seed beads, eBeads, adhesive, thread, my sewing machine, paper clip, rhinestone brads, alpha stickers.

PS! I just have to give a shout out to Michele Kosciolek!! We've gone a "Healthier Us" adventure and I can't wait to be healthier with a nice beautiful wardrobe! Michele has sent me this GORGEOUS Black and White chevron forever scarf and I just adore it! It totally fits into how I want to dress and be perceived and oh my gosh! It's AMAZING! ♥

In Her Hands It's Magic {12x12 by Miae}

This layout today is by Miae -- and just like Miae it's UBER fab!

Using gel medium, I covered the circles in tissue paper, wrinkles and all, then added a little paint. 

 

 

The butterfly is covered with Deco Art Snow Tex and painted over with watercolors. 

Supplies:

Home Sweet Home {May Arts Ribbon Cutting Ceremony}

And now.. I Get to share!! Today I'm sharing with you a 12x12 layout. When Bethney mentioned Ribbon Cutting Ceremony I immediately thought of big red bows being cut right in half, trimmed edges and straight up strips of ribbon. So I set out to commemorate our first home as a family with these things in mind. Needless to say the work took me in a slightly different direction, but never the less RED and RIBBON are still recognizable! 

I layered up some gorgeous ribbons ( 447-1-01 | 336-38-14 | SM08 ) to embellish this layout.

I clipped and layered my ribbons, along with 7 Dots Studio (Domestic Goddess paper and alphas,) Viva Las VegaStamps! stamps (Star, Grid Background, Striped Border Arrow, Coffee Ring,) Gauche Alchemy (Washi Tape,) UmWowStudio (Layered confetti chip, Black and Blue Flair, Chevron Lines Mask,) Pink Paislee (Luxe Alphas,) Prima (flower and leaf,) Tattered Angels (Charcoal Chalkboard,) My Mind's Eye (Epoxy brads,) Archival Ink by ranger in black, Stazon ink in red, a black pen.

I Think You Are Magic {12x12 by Jess}

Today Jess has got a stunner for us in 12x12 format!!

Jess says "I begged Ms. DeeDee to make a set of bee flair just for this layout. I took this photo and all I could picture for the page was honeybees, wildflowers, and whispy stuff! Of course the flair came out awesome and I was able to put my page plan into motion.

I also used the hexagon chipboard background with some random layered hexagons to echo the bee theme on here. Fittingly, the paper is old school Pink Paislee: Queen Bee. The colors of the paper and natural kraft elements and twine all added to the "fresh meadow" look I was going for.

This layout also needed a nice smattering of circle confetti. Everything looks better with confetti!"

UWS supplies:
Hexagon Background
Layered Hexagons
Circle Confetti
The Bee's Knees Set

Instagram Goodness!

Make A Wish {12x12 by Kylie Drake}

It's Creative Team Wednesday and I've got Kylie stopping by today with her totally knockout style!

Kylie says "UmWowStudio chipboard lends itself so well to Fall pictures and I have a stack of family pics from last year that I need to scrap. I wanted to use my embellishments to highlight my sister's relationship with her son and I think the Make-a-Wish flair and the combination of the Heart Hands and layered chip do this wonderfully. I love using embellishments to tell a story. 

Supplies list: UmWowStudio layered clouds, layered hearts, potty people, layered circles, star confetti and heart hands chipboard. UmWowStudio Make a Wish flair. 

Maya Rd kraft envelope, Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type stickers, gloosy accents, Bazzil cardstock, American Crafts and Kaisercraft papers."

I don't think I can say enough how proud I am of the creative team --- each and every week I'm so pumped to share their work, and it's all SO DIFFERENT! Kylie's style has always been so graphically stunning. I'm honored to share her work using our chipboard :) Leave her some love!!
