Turning 2

I was so inspired by last month's sketch here on the UmWowStudio blog, that I created this page with it!  I was at a crop and was stuck... I used the sketch to use up some of my paper scraps on my table and create a celebration page for my son's 2nd birthday photo.  

 I love the UmWow Studio Layered Banner shapes!  They are perfect mixed in with the bigger paper versions. 

 I also love the UmWowStudio flair.. this one from The Bee's Knees set.  So cute!

 I also used some Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Whipped Spackle through the UmWowStudio Line of Chevrons Mask for a subtle design element.  Some Chevron Confetti was added over that when it dried. 

 

When I'm stuck for page ideas, I love to go back to my collection of sketches from the UmWowStudio blog and other sources.  It gives me somewhere to start and then I can change or add whatever I need to to make it my own!

Heart & Soul {a 12x12 layout}

Hi Everyone!! Today I'm sharing a beautiful layout by Creative Team member Jess Mutty. 

She's used UmWowStudio's Layered Circles chipboard and Symbol Mash chipboard. 

As well as:

Patterned paper: Pink Paislee, Studio Calico

Cardstock: American Crafts

Mist: Heidi Swapp 

Punchinella: Gauche Alchemy

Stickers: Pink Paislee

Rub ons: Pink Paislee

Stick Pin: Little Yellow Bicycle

Jess says : "I've had my eyes on both the layered circles and this large ampersand since I first saw them!  Sometimes naked chip is exactly the right feeling you want and these pieces inspired the whole page from the color scheme up. I kept to neutral tones and a repeating circle theme throughout.  The chipboard circles were awesome layered on top of the printed circles... subtle but they added great dimension and detail. 

And the ampersand was a super title element! It was large enough to overlap my photo and tie the rest of the title into the white space to the right.  I want more of these!"

I can't get over the gloriousness of the almost clean and simple but just not quite, the beautiful layering and the bold chip!
