Bouquet d'amour by Magali

I hope you are enjoying your Summer!
I have no particular favorite season, I think I love them all. Each one brings some new beauties!

During Spring and Summer, I love having a festival of flowers blooming in my garden. I try to choose flowers that will bloom one after another. The first ones to bloom are considered as awful flowers by most people, but since my boys love to gather them into some beautiful bouquets full of love, I love them too : I am speaking of dandelions!

And here is the layout I've made about this precious attention.

 

And some other pictures of it.

 

To create this layout, I used a tangle feather, heart confetti and love tabs.

Ton petit air marin by Ladybird

 

Hi everybody!

Here is my last layout for June!
I had not planned to use this color combo at all, but the pink just appeared and I am happy with it, even for a boy layout. I heard, it was the pink day lately, so maybe my brain was under some "influence"! ;)

 Here are some other picture, to see it closer...

Here are the UWS I used:

Love Speech Bubbles

Chevron Strips

Bee's Knees Set Flairs

And with them, I used product from: 7 Dots Studio, Crate Paper and Luck 7 Factory.

Have a wonderful day!

Spring is coming

Hallo :) Anai here.
Today I'd like to show you my first spring layout made with UmWowStudio products.

When I saw the "Nature Walk" collection for the first time I fell in love with this gorgeous paper with wooden pattern.
I decided to add a little bit of color to the design. I used pastel paper from another 7 Dots Studio Collection - "Illumination". I also used some paints and beautiful pink glitter. 

One of my favourite masks from UmWowStudio is this Chevron design. It looks amazing and adds some movement to the layout.

Once again I added a lot of media to our chipobards. You can find here some white acrylic paint, Silks and Twinkling H2O's, Glossy Accents and tranparent crackle paint. This chipboards are thick and great for mixed-media techniques!

I love all kinds of splashes and some glamourous shine in my works. Glitter just always makes me happy!
"Nature Walk" is very neutral collection with a vintage feeling, but as you can see it's very easy to add color to it and make it more girly :D

UmWowStudio Supplies:
Nature Walk Musical Blooms 12x12 Paper
Nature Walk Cloudy 12x12 Paper
Chevron Mask
BlueBell
Layered Hearts
Every Day Speech Bubbles
Star Confetti
Butterfly Kisses Flair

For the inspiration I used our March Sketch!

We are still waiting for your projects HERE!

Aflutter Sneak + New Class!

Afternoon everyone :) I was getting ready to post the first Aflutter sneak peek on Thursday, and decided I'd wait till the weekend and give you a sneak peek via PROJECT! 

Remember those four canvases I showed you for the May Arts CHA booth? I decided to do something similar for my next class, and Aflutter happened to fit in right in, so I snowballed it all together, and have it to present to you now :) 

so.. Aflutter Sneak Peek #1.. and introducing class PHOTOBOOTH

I'm offering the class twice.. Once in person.. and once online! 

Attendance + Kit - $40

The class cost is $40 to take and attend. With the $40 you get a kit that includes ALMOST everything you need to complete the project.. the canvas bases, tapes, fibers, ribbons, and assorted and handmade embellishments (and obviously the attendance and directions to complete the project!). If you're local you get to use the rest of the supplies that I own to complete your project (Inks, mists and stamps). All YOU need to bring is your favorite wet adhesive, a heat gun (if you have one) and a photobooth style set of photos. 

And because I happen to be the KIT QUEEN.. I'm offering a couple of "add on" kits to help you complete your project if you're not local!

Kit 1 : Stamps UNMOUNTED - $25

This is just the four rubber stamps I used to complete the project; Harlequin Background, Writing Background, Six Hexagon Background and Chicken Wire in unmounted pink rubber only. (please keep in mind you CAN substitute stamps you already have)

Kit 2 : Stamps CUSHIONED - $30

This is the same four stamps, but they'll be cushioned on cling cushion ready to cling to your acrylic block and stamp! (please keep in mind you CAN substitute stamps you already have)

Wet Stuff Kit : $12

This kit is to finish off any supplies you might be missing.. THE WET STUFF includes a small jar of Gesso in white, a bottle of Distress Stain in Spun Sugar, and a bottle of Tattered Angels Chalkboard mist in Sandy Beach. 

Shipping is $6 :) email me @ umwowstudio@gmail.com to order! 

The Project: 

Don't forget.. the UmWowStudio January Embellishment Kit will air either tomorrow or Monday - IF you buy the class the kit will ship free with it. But no pressure♥

Happy Mama's Day

Love you mama!

Here's the card I made for my mother this year using MME's Lost n Found Madison Avenue 6x6 pad, vintage buttons, walnut stain distress ink sizzix labels die, snug hug, studio G stamps and baker's twine.

Photos from the Winter Western

My last craft show was a half success -- not a complete failure but I think online is where I'll keep my stuff..

it did however give me the opportunity to branch out and create LOTS of fun new stuff for the shop.. while I'm photographing all my goodies to put up.. take a look at the pictures of the booth :D

Keep in mind that I shared half the booth with a good friend -- so not everything you see is mine!

The banners, garlands, white frames with chicken wire, tags, vintage pillows and wreaths are mine :) 

there are also a couple of bracelets floating around.. some keychains.. a few hair barrettes thought not many!

Everything on this shelf is mine, pillows, blocks, wreaths, garland, chicken wire frame.. all stuff that will be coming to the shop soon!
