Link up at the bottom of the post and be entered to win a prize pack full of Authentique and UWS goodness! Ends the end of November♥ Need some UmWowStudio to help?? Check out this promotion!

Today we have CHRISSY up first with this amazing mini using the Curiosity collection by Authentique.

Chrissy says "Here's a book I made for my son so that he learns to set goals. The book was super easy to make and Authentique's "Curiousity" 6x6 pad was perfect. Add some Geekery Flair and Star Confetti for the perfect finishing touches and you have a cute little daily reminder to carry in a book bag or purse."

Next up is a 12x12 by Jess Mutty:

Jess Says: I used the two lovely lines from Authentique: Be(you)tiful and Blissful. They coordinate perfectly with each other and happen to be focused on one of my favorite color combos, gray and yellow. They were also the perfect choice to use for this photo of my little fashionista in her gray and yellow market skirt.

Of course the touch of pink adds just the right amount of girly, along with sweet UmWowStudio confetti hearts, love speech bubbles, and the cute polka dot flair from The 2 of Us set. That's a lot of love!

The speech bubbles and heart confetti are a match made in heaven for this little cluster above my photo. I love them!

UWS products:
Symbol Mash Chip
Heart Confetti
The 2 of Us Flair
Love Speech Bubbles

Other products:
Paper, diecuts - Authentique

and finally I bring you a card today:

I used the Tradition Collection by Authentique + the Squirrel chip from UmWowStudio. The Snowflakes at the top are a sneak peek at some new confetti coming soon!! 

Now! Hope over to the Authentique Blog and then get to making your OWN papercraft using Authentique + UmWowStudio to win a prize package full of both!

She Is Genuine

Good morning UmWowStudio fans! It's Amy here today, to share a canvas I made, with all kinds of chipboard "star power."

I started by tearing the edges of the photo (I printed it on copy paper), and adhering it with gel medium, then burnishing with a brayer. This helped the photo become a part of the canvas, then I gessoed and blended from the photo corners out. The fun part was creating and blending the drips of paint, mist, and ink. I plan to do a video tutorial, sharing this technique, so keep an eye out!

I added sprinkles of the star confetti to my cluster of embellishments (including a layered star, stamped with the ever so perfectly fitting star pin stamp from Viva Las VegaStamps!) and a few of the gears from the gear mash .

For a little bit of whimsey, movement and sparkle, I used the circle confetti mask, ink, and some sparkling blue embossing powder. I love how it creates another layer of dimension on the page.

I hope maybe you were inspired today, to get your create on! Grab your UmWowStudio chipboard pieces, masks, and some paint and ink...and get messy. It's the perfect way to ward off the Monday blues.....I promise.

Quick and simple with UmWowStudio {12x12 layouts by Kylie}

Happy Monday! It's Kylie here with some quick, simple layouts using some of my favourite UmWowStudio embellishments. While scrapbooking is a great creative outlet, sometimes I just want to get the memories down on paper. I challenged myself to scrap a couple of quick pages and Imanaged to do both of the layouts below in under 20 minutes each.

The first layout is of my daughter riding her Dad's shoulders at Boo at the Zoo. I used UmWowStudio Boo flair, Layered Pumpkin and Star Confetti chipboard and the @ sign is from the Symbol Mash.

 

Other products used on this layout include Kraft Ouchless Cardboard from Gauche Alchemy, Maya Rd journaling spot, Thickers letters, Making Memories paint, ribbon from my stash and the lion is from Sassafras.

The idea for this next layout has been floating around in my head ever since the UmWowStudio Spooky Branch arrived in my mailbox. And I'm REALLY happy about how it turned out. The pictures are of my brother and his kids on Mother's Day last year (these were taken in New Zealand, so it was Fall there). The 'leaves' on the branches are Heart Confetti and Layered Hearts. I think this would work really well with the new UmWowStudio Layered Leaves, Medium Leaf Confetti and Leaf Confetti too.

 And a couple of close-ups of my tree, cos you know, I think it's awesome......

The other products used on this layout are Thickers letters and Bazzil cardstock.

Have a great week! And don't forget the UmWowStudio and Authentique Challenge that is running through the month of November.

Authentique and UmWowStudio

Welcome to another installation of Throw Back Thursday with our uber talented friends over @ Authentique! 

We're using oldie but goodie products from both companies in an effort to share some great TBT inspiration with you! We're also inviting you to complete a project of your own using both UmWowStudio and Authentique products (any and all products qualify!) Link up at the bottom of the post and be entered to win a prize pack full of Authentique and UWS goodness! Ends the end of November♥ Need some UmWowStudio to help?? Check out this promotion!

Now see what our super talented Creative Team has put together for inspiration!

First up is Kylie Drake with {wonder}

Products used: Authentique Curiosity 6x6 paper bundle. UWS Chipboard Cemetery Fence, Bat confetti, Layered pumpkins and Layered Banners. UWS Circle Confetti Mask. UWS Sidewalk Chalk Flair and Twinery Twine. 

Kylie says: I loved the Curiosity line from Authentique and almost called this layout "Curiosity", but Halloween was truly a wonder for my little girl this year. She had an absolute blast at Boo at the Zoo and then again Trick or Treating. The Curiosity paper perfectly complemented this photo and the message I was trying to portray in the layout. I loved how I was able to use one of the curiosity die cuts on the banner and the monkey from the Abc patterned paper. My favourite element is the tri-layered pumpkin in the bottom right hand corner.

And next we have Miae Rowe with Street Food:

Miae used the Joyous Collection by Authentique, as well as Heart Confetti and Polaroid Mash from UmWowStudio.

Miae says: "I'm not quite ready for Christmas yet! So I decided to use my Christmas paper for a non-Christmas layout. The polaroid frame turned out to be quite handy for bringing the focus to the title in pattern heavy page :)."

Now! Hope over to the Authentique Blog and then get to making your OWN papercraft using Authentique + UmWowStudio to win a prize package full of both!
