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! ♥

Las Vegas or BUST {A 12x12}

Last week I got to share a layout on the Helmar Blog. This is what our uHaul looked like when we moved in 2012 from Gillette to Las Vegas! I took this opportunity to use the UmWowStudio June Sketch Challenge as well! (Check it out on the sidebar)

I got to use TONS of products by my favorite companies on this baby... UmWowStudio Chevron Arrow (Just the tail), Pieces and bits from a Gauche Alchemy Kit, Tattered Angels glimmer mist, seed beads, an epoxy brad, my label maker. The likes! 

I'm sharing this here today though to show this:

I used Gauche Alchemy's Punchinella has a mask and some Liquid Scrap Dots by Helmar as the medium... right as I laid down the glue I applied micro beads, seed beads and the likes to it, then let it dry for 48 hours. I LOVE IT!! The ink is Glimmer Mist. 

I'll be linking this baby up to the Paper Issues link up for the Persnickety Prints Issue.

Paper Issues HOPE CHEST hop!!

Hello Everyone!!

Welcome to my stop on the Paper Issues Blog Hop for Pink Paislee's HOPE CHEST!

You should be here from one Miss Cassie!

If you're not you should start over at the Paper Issues blog and follow the whole hop!

The sponsor for this issue is the beautiful people over at Pink Paislee! So be sure to link up any projects you have using Pink Paislee for the next two weeks! Don't fret if you've run out of Pink Paislee goods (They're sooooo good I imagine they don't last long in anyone's craft room!), you can also link up any Mother's Day projects!! (There are two Hope Chest collections being given away for linking up.)

And if you'd like to stock up on some Pink Paislee goods for the link up Click Here to see what's in the Paper Issues Store! Use code "UmWowStudio" to receive 20% off your purchase total!

For a little inspiration today I've put together a 12x12 layout titled "Love This"

The Hope Chest collection lends itself to some beautiful creams and neutrals with surprising and gorgeous pops of color. I couldn't get over the beautiful browns and oranges on the left paired with the floral greens on the right, so I enhanced them. I used an UmWowStudio mask, Silks acrylic glaze in solar gold, Tattered Angels mist (Charcoal, Firefly and Mustard Seed), cheesecloth, UmWowStudio Chipboard (Layered stars, Love This title, Arrow Mash), Viva Las VegaStamps! images (butterfly, fly and apha), and a couple epoxy brads on the left side. I also used the brackets from the Luxe Alphas as arrows from the "new specs" title pointing towards the photo. 

To balance out the layout I also put a cluster of embellishments on the right. I layered a Pink Paislee paper good and Butterfly Clip with UmWowStudio chip, a label, cheesecloth and a pearl brad. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!! Your next stop is Patricia!
