J'aime l'automne by Ladybird

Today, I am here to share a Fall layout. I like every season but I LOVE Fall!
This year, I am blessed because my boys really enjoy being photographed. I have tons of pictures for my layouts!! Here is the last one...

I was fully inspired by Paige Evans and her beautiful work with scraps of papers.
Then I unified all the patterned papers with the natural UWS chipboards!

These fall flairs are just fantastic!

Here are the products I used:

Beach Party by Ladybird

Summer is here, well almost!!!
And even if I am not able to spend my time at the beach, I am dreaming of it! So today, let me show you a beach layout very easy to reproduce.

Here is how I've made it.
First of all, I used the negative of the 7 Dots Studio Destination Unknown Die Cut cardstock Elements, as a background. I cut it at the right size to have it right behind my photo.

Then I applied my photo right in the center.

And finally, I added the Um Wow Studio chipboards and flairs to create an original frame around the picture. This is a good way to mix several collections of products.

Add some little touches of colours at the end and you've done. Here I used some buttons, gems and stickers, and finally some ink splashes. ;)

Here are some close up.

Here are the UWS products I used for this layout:

Celebrate Hashtag Banners

Love Speech Bubbles

Layered Banners

Other products: Webster's Pages paper, October Afternoon buttons, Simple Stories stickers.

Enjoy the Summer!

You Two by Sindi Jeffers

Hi everyone! I just stopped by to share this layout I created with my UmWowStudio goodies! I'm also going to share how I created some cool texture on the layered banner pieces.

I love this photo of my husband and little boy. This picture is a couple of years old, so that "little" boy is several inches taller now!

I used some drywall tape and white gesso to get that grungy texture on the chipboard. Here's a quick tutorial on how I did it:

You'll need your layered banner pieces, some gesso, and some drywall tape. I stole the tape from my husband. That's the best way to get drywall tape, of course.

Cover the chipboard with drywall tape. I let the tape go over the edges and stick to the surface under the pieces. This helps them stay in place. Use a paintbrush to cover the chipboard in gesso.

Next, peel off the drywall tape. I peel it while the gesso is still a bit wet. I've found that it sometimes scrapes up the chipboard and is just hard to peel if you let the gesso get too dry.

After the gesso dries, I glue the top pieces onto patterned paper. Then I trim around the edges with my exacto knife. From there, it's just a matter of attaching the top banner piece to the bottom. I like to attach them so that they are slightly askew and the bottom piece shows through a bit.

Here's the end result:

I leave the edges of the chipboard raw. It makes for a grungy, old window kind of look. I also added a few of the diamond confetti pieces in the center of my other paper embellishments.

Chop! by Sindi Jeffers

This is my first official post as a member of the team here at UmWowStudio! I was so very excited to finish this first project. I just adore the little guy in this photo. He is such a sweetie. He was using his little ax to help his daddy and grandpa chop up leftover wood after a dead tree was cut down in our yard. And yes, he's in his pajama bottoms and a big puffy coat. It's how we roll.

As soon as I thought about a layout for this photo, I knew I wanted it to have a tree. I used the circle confetti mask to create my tree. I simply laid the mask on my cut out circles and spread some white gesso on there. After that had dried, I was able to use some cheap-o paint from Wal Mart to splatter on top. A few spritzes of water while the paint was wet helped to create a messy look. I also added some flower confetti to my tree for some added dimension. I used the layered banners for my title. I covered them in this adorable paper by Pebbles.

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!

Today I would like to show you a tag created with UmWowStudio gorgeous chipboard, stencil and flair and with newest 7 Dots Studio collection, designed by DeeDee Catron - Destination Unknown (available at UmWowStudio). I love grey and blue color combo!!

"Find Neverland" expresses my yearning for something difficult to find. But somewhere, deep inside of me, I hope, "Neverland" exists and waits for me :)
