La ferme du Cap Saint-Jacques by Magali

I am so happy to be with you today, to share a layout I've made about my youngest son.
He's an animal lover... he absolutely adore them, each of them (with a little preference for horse and donkey but this will certainly be a story for another layout).

We have the chance to live near a farm on the island of Montréal. It's located in a big nature park, so that always a pleasure to go there to walk. Almost each day of the week, my little one asks us when we'll go to the farm... each day!
Sometimes, we go 4 or 5 times a week... sometimes we have to many other things to do and he needs to wait. But every single time we go there, as soon as are in the car to go back to home, he asks again "when will we be back?". That's crazy!

 For this layout, I've used the following products:

Alpha TWO

Flower Confetti

Chevron Confetti

Doilies

Thanks for stopping by!

For today's project I, DeeDee and UWS Owner and Creative Director, bring you my own project!

I have utilized the Alpha 2, Sketchy Cloud MASH and Rainy Day Confetti chipboard pieces from UmWowStudio. The Alpha 2s have been covered in a delicious opaque white powder from WOW. I love how the white is so bright but the letters are outlined by their ashy edge. What a delicious combo!

Spring Tag by Jen

Does it feel like Spring might never come to anyone else? It has snowed in Central New York for a month with 3-4 feet on the ground (actually up to my windows) and the air so cold it hurts to breathe when you step outside!  I am so ready for a warm up!  So to brighten my cold, dreary, winter day, I made a spring tag with some UmWow Studio lovelies. 

 I needed some gorgeous color so after priming the chip with Faber-Castell Design  Memory Craft Gesso, I added a rainbow of Gelatos®to the tag.  Gorgeous!

 So pretty with the raised texture from the stencil and Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Whipped Spackle.   Adding some UmWow Studio Flower Confetti and Alphas to create a fun ode to Spring!

 Doesn't that chip just look amazing with the colored Gelatos®?  Makes it all tie together (with some ribbon and canvas threads, of course).

 So, HELLO winter... here's the "#Memo". We want Spring in the worst way!  Come on, pretty please?

 A little bee flair to give it some more spring and we are done!  I'm displaying this prominently on my mantel to remind me that it will be here sooner or later... sooner please!

very merry by Tusia Lech

Hello UmWowStudio fans :)

Here is Tusia Lech. Have you seen this month sketch? I was so inspired by it!!!

I created a layout, using lots of UWS goodies.

At first I cut nine squares and stamped the edges. And then I started to embellish all the squares :)

Below you can see a flair (Make a wish flair) with chipboard flourish (Flourishes two), that I have covered with gesso and then with Finnabair Golden Texture Paste.

Here I have used a tag (Explore Tags), that coordinates with Destination Unknown collection designed by DeeDee Catron for 7 Dots Studio. I sprayed it with Color Shine from Heidi Swapp and put it onto a larger tag, to create a dimension.

Letters for "very merry" text come from wonderful chipboard set - Alpha Two

Tiny houses with cute hearts are my favourites!!! I love adding them to my projects!! Below you can see them misted with Golden Color Shine.

I can be boring - I know :) - but I love love love UWS flairs!! They have flat back, so they are very easy for adhering onto any project. And the quality is just fabulous!!

Will you join UmWowStudio sketch challenge this month? If so, please use any UmWowStudio products - flair, chipboard, stencil :)

Here is full list of UWS supplies, I used:

Dream a little dream flair

Make a wish flair

Flourishes two

Star Confetti

Tiny Houses MASH

Have a great day!

Childhood Memories - A Mixed Media layout

Hello and Happy Thursday!  Tina here today with simple mixed media layout, created with 1 stencil and several UWS chipboard pieces.

I began by prepping my 12x12 chipboard background with a coat of gesso.  After the gesso was dry, I added texture with the Diamond Confetti mask and modeling paste.

The next step is to add color.  I began with watered down, PaperArtsty Fresco paint, layering several contrasting shades to blend.  For more glimmer and glitz, I spritzed several shades of Shimmerz sprays to the background.

I wanted to 'dress up' my chip, so I painted each piece (Leaf Stems(2),  & Flourishes One) with PaperArtsy Fresco paint, then heat embossed them for subtle texture.

I wanted to continue the floral theme, so I stamped (and heat embossed) a floral design on the top of my page, then painted the petals/leaves with more PaperArtsy Fresco paint.

To finish off this simple layout, I added a piece of Flair (Set Sail Flair) and a title (Alpha Two). Done!

I hope you enjoyed this short how-to!  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!

How About a Little Happy This Monday!

Hello all!

Is it Monday already? Well, how about a page to put a smile on your face! I followed along with this month's sketch...it's a fantastic starting point to fill your head with ideas! Here's my girl, happy as can be and I think she's even striking a little pose....

I pulled out a bunch of my UmWowStudio goodies here :) For the background I used:

UWS Circle Confetti Mask
UWS Herringbone Mask
UWS Checker Board Mask

To create embellishments, I used several chipboard pieces:

UWS Gears Background

UWS Layered Arrows

UWS Alpha Two

And since I got my inspiration from the September sketch, I just had to throw in a flair (which coincidentally matched perfectly with Alpha Two!):

UWS Life is Good Flair 

Hope that put a little happy in your day!
