Hey folks! :)
Today we have SUPER FAN Michele Kosciolek visiting us with a superb altered book! I'll let her take over form here ;)

Michele here and I am an aunt, a daughter, a sister, a friend and an UBER fan of Um Wow Studio!  Born and raised in Michigan, I found my way back almost 8 years ago after living in California for over 15 years.  I think someday I will find myself back in California but no matter where I land I LOVE to create!!!

A very dear friend of mine lost his father recently and asked me to do something special with an old photo.  I have been waiting for the perfect idea to come to me and it finally did...I used a vintage book to create a frame for the photo.

 

 

 

 

 

Items used:

UmWow Studio- banner mash, gear mash, DIY printers blocks, checkerboard mask, harlequin mask, ATC frame-movie and flair for the love notes set.

It's worth waiting for - Tusia Lech

Hello folks :)

I created art-journal page, which was an inner must for me :):):) For me art-journal is the most emotional form of expression. I am very emotional person and putting my emotions into colors, shapes and words is something absolutely necessary to me :)

I started with background. At first I used 5 colors of Gelatos. Then I used UmWowStudio Checker Board Mask with Gel Medium on one side and Butterfly Swarm Mask with Inka Gold Metallic Rub on the other.

When it dried, I started adding stamping (7 Dots Studio sets from Cold Country and Illumination collection) with white ink.

Heart String chipboard (which I love) was covered with white and red embossing powder.

I have used also tags (among them 7 Dots Studio Nature Walk) and UmWowStudio Dream a Little Dream badge was a cherry on a top.

Have a great day!!

Sweet Boy {Scrapbook Layout}

Hello UmWowStudio fans, it's Amy here today, to share a layout I created using a favorite photo of my sweet husband when he was around three. This is the first photo I've scrapped using a little boy, as I have three daughters; so I started by choosing a fairly unisex color palette. Once I had created the background, using Lindy's Stamp Gang mists, tea stain, and paint,(I used the Hexagon Confetti and Checker Board masks in random areas throughout the page, using a green metallic paint); I layered on washi tape, stamping, and finally fibers (cheesecloth, latch hook rug fabric, burlap)...and of course the paper and photo layers.

When it came time to embellish, I used flair from  Life is Good  and Moon Shine.  and scattered gently across the page are pieces of Star Confetti, and a bit or two from the Layered Hexagons.

Finally, I misted three pieces from the new and wonderful Banner Mash, and strung them with thread...easy peasy! I'm so excited with how this layout turned out, and I have it on display....the perfect way to share a sweet picture of a now very sweet man. :)
