....our crazy adventure

HOWDY.....thank you for stopping by the UmWowStudio blog today.

I have a fun little project I created.

I was digging around in my 'tovers pile

and found a strip of paper I had created.

I had adhered a piece of burlap to a piece of Kraft paper

and I had stenciled on the paper with

UmWowStudio ~ Wonky Circle Stencils

Seemed like this was a good place to start!

I love trying new things so I pulled out a few of my

new Baked Textures and embossed it onto my "paper"!

When I was done playing with color on my paper

I cut it up into ATC's.

I then pulled out my bag of UmWowStudio pieces parts.

I decided to use the "leftovers" from the

UmWowStudio ~ Home Grown Mash

To make the chippies even better, 

I pulled out a dollop of Modeling Paste and mixed in a bit of

beach sand to add MORE texture.

I repeated the technique using

UmWowStudio ~ Layered Hexagons

I also smeared a bit of the left over "texture" onto the ATC's.

When my newly textured chippies were dry,

I painted them with a bit of Glam

then I gave them a spritz of water to mix the color up.

I put my ATC's together

and adhered them to a piece of barn board.

Here are a few closeups of my ATC's.

I snuck in an UmWowStudio ~ Leafy Branch

I hope you enjoyed my creative adventure....

I encourage you to try something NEW today!

Finding Me by Lynne

Can I just say I am GIDDDYYYY with excitement

about my first posting on the
UmWowStudios Creative Team!!!??!??!

I was already to create a step out tutorial

but became so engrossed in

the design process

I glued everything down

and didn't take a single picture....UGGGH!

The inspiration for my tag was "dark blue"

so I pulled out a bottle of Indigo ~ Color Burst

along with Platinum and Pewter ~ Liquid Metal and a

Kraft Tag....and played!

I ran Perfect Paints through

UmWowStudios ~ Handwriting Stencil.

While the tag was drying I began gathering supplies.

vintage curtain

chicken wire

canvas

threads and

my stash of UmWowStudios chippies!

I dumped out the

UmWowStudios ~ Alpha ONE 

and began searching for the letters to spell

FINDING ME

finished off with a Sketchy Hearts MASH.

Now that I had a title.....

.....I just let the creative process flow.

creating flowers

repurposing hearts

tearing strips of curtian

stapling items to the tag

....including more of my favorite things

vintage lace

spiral flowers

colored Leaf Stems

diecut canvas....

I hope you have enjoyed my creative process....

I KNOW I DID....

it was just what I needed!

CREATING....a great THOUGHT DIVERTOR~

THANK YOU for stoppin' by!

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. :)

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!"
