The Good Stuff!

Happy Monday to you!  It's been a crazy few weeks, my apologies for the quiet blog. Things will hopefully get back to normal now.  I have my final project to share for UmWowStudio today which also features one of BoBunny's new collections called Star Crossed.

I had some fun with my page for today, using one of my favorite photos from this summer of my boys. I've mixed up my chip here with some fun designs and of course one of our beautiful flairs for my title.

"The Good Stuff"

Some details...

I thought it would be interesting to mix the Film Reel with the Flourish. I covered the flourish with some pearlescent paint. The film reel was painted with some Radiant Rain in pewter. The love speech bubble was colored with a Faber-Castell watercolor pencil in red, then I added a very dry brush to it.

I backed the film reel with some vellum, and the love speech bubble with pattern paper.  The variety of finishes on the chipboard elements makes for a really interesting mix of texture for the page.

A Vintage Page with UmWowStudio

Greetings, I was recently up on the UmWowStudio blog with a project to share.

I've been wanting to scrap this photo of my father and his sister for the longest time. When I found it again going through photos the other day, I really wanted to celebrate it.  There aren't a ton of photos of my Dad from his youth, so these are very special to our family.

I used some papers with a sepia type of feel to them. Once I selected my papers, I chose my chipboard embellishments that would fit the feel of the page. The Doilies chip was covered in a chocolate pearlescent product.  The Soar Tab was coated in gesso, then touched with a variety of pearlescent product to give a variegated feeling and match the photo.

Don't you just love those doilies?!!!

A bit of background stamping and ink droplets with a bit of cheesecloth helped pull the page together.  When I was done stamping, I added bits of Mica to the areas to create a bit of shine and texture.

Butterfly Kisses with UmWowStudio

Happy Wednesday to you!  I hope your week is treating you well so far.

I have a page to share with you today that I created for UmWowStudio featuring their Damask Mask, Butterfly Kisses Flair, Love Speech Bubble and Flora Chipboard.  I love how versatile and pretty their products are!

I was a bit nostalgic over my youngest heading off to Kindergarten and when I found this photo, it just moved me, so I had to scrap it. Do you ever do that?

I layered one of the speech bubbles with a relief heart in a coral mist to give a little character.  : )

I used modeling paste with the Damask Mask and then added some drops of mist in Greens, Gold and Coral to accent the color scheme. My Floral Flourish is misted with Green.

Celebrate Fall with UmWowStudio

Greetings!

We recently featured the Layered Chipboard over at UmWowStudio and I wanted to share my project with you here.

I used the Sweater Weather 6x6 stack from DCWV for this card. Isn't the hombre effect so soft?  The realistic patterned paper in the leaves was so fun to use too.  

I backed the open pumpkin with patterned paper and then added glossy accents to the center and let dry.  Some stickles were added to the border to emphasize the patterned paper insert.

The other pumpkin with stripes is sandwiched with some patterned paper in between the layers. A few flourishes for vines were added to the collage. I used my Copics to color the stems.
