....my apologies!

Howdy UmWowStudio Fans....

I have been a BAD DT member this summer!

The summer began with a house clean out
and ended in a total house renovation.
I have been the "super", designer and painter extraordinaire!

....leaving me not time to create!

....my word for this summer!

BUT....
today I was inspired by a fellow Designer and #halfanhourcreate

so I told my mind to hush and I got to creating!

I began by pulling out a previously created tag

and picked up a few #tovers off my floor
(don't be hating on me!)

and let my creative juices go....

I then gathered a few items
 an ArtFoamie stamp 

and a bit of Glimmer Mist (left on my desk from a previous creative session)

 and a piece of paper mesh from my floor.

....and by golly 

there were a few packages of flowers on the floor, too!!
So, I altered them with various Tattered Angels colors.

I gathered up a piece of vintage curtian 

a bit of newly acquired fleece,

paper scraps
(yes, from my floor!!)

and a UmWowStudio chippie

Knobby Branch
(I was so happy to see it on my desk)

I put all the goodies together and
finished off my creation
with a FABULOUS quote from
Yvonne Blair/Impression Obsession.
(TOTALLY HOW I FEEL)

Here are a few closeups of my creation....

....and in the end

I was a VERY HAPPY GIRL!

I promise to be a better DT'er....soon!

....our crazy adventure

HOWDY.....thank you for stopping by the UmWowStudio blog today.

I have a fun little project I created.

I was digging around in my 'tovers pile

and found a strip of paper I had created.

I had adhered a piece of burlap to a piece of Kraft paper

and I had stenciled on the paper with

UmWowStudio ~ Wonky Circle Stencils

Seemed like this was a good place to start!

I love trying new things so I pulled out a few of my

new Baked Textures and embossed it onto my "paper"!

When I was done playing with color on my paper

I cut it up into ATC's.

I then pulled out my bag of UmWowStudio pieces parts.

I decided to use the "leftovers" from the

UmWowStudio ~ Home Grown Mash

To make the chippies even better, 

I pulled out a dollop of Modeling Paste and mixed in a bit of

beach sand to add MORE texture.

I repeated the technique using

UmWowStudio ~ Layered Hexagons

I also smeared a bit of the left over "texture" onto the ATC's.

When my newly textured chippies were dry,

I painted them with a bit of Glam

then I gave them a spritz of water to mix the color up.

I put my ATC's together

and adhered them to a piece of barn board.

Here are a few closeups of my ATC's.

I snuck in an UmWowStudio ~ Leafy Branch

I hope you enjoyed my creative adventure....

I encourage you to try something NEW today!

Howdy UmWowStudio Fans.....

I had a snow day
and I created up a storm.
Had to trudge through the snow
the next morning to get to my photo area!

I pulled out a tag and
mixed a bit of paint and modeling paste together
and applied it through 

UmWowStudio's ~ Grid Stencil

When dry, I spritz with mist and then dropped Glam onto my tag
with a pippette. I gently spritzed my tag with water and let it dry.

I applied a bit of Multi Medium Matte to my tag

with a paint brush and then I sprinkled on a bit of Prills.

I then dry brushed on a bit of white gesso.

I painted one of the
UmWowStudio ~ Signature Series ~ Small Ivy

with Modeling Paste.
When dry I dropped Glam on the Small Ivy,
spritzed with a bit of water and dried it.
You can see my technique HERE!

I cut apart my UmWowStudio ~ Small Ivy into 3 pieces.
I cut up a piece of wire mesh and stapled it to my tag.

I pulled out a bunch of Mist and colored a few white flowers!!

Every tag needs a quote!

Hi UmWowStudio fans.....
can I just say....I hate it when my creativity
decides to take a hiatus and I have a deadline!!

What do you do??

As for me...I start scanning challenges and mood boards
once again I landed on
Our Mixed Media Moods

so I just began creating.....

with no plan or any true inspiration.

I did like the transparency ideas

so I decided to begin there.

I pulled out a piece of Tissuestock

and a tub of Modeling Paste

and an UmWowStudio Wheelie Mask

Now, where I went from there is quite the journey.

I cut the Tissuestock into a tag,

painted the back with Glimmer Glam,

adhered another piece of Tissuestock ~ French Script,

then a piece of Kraft Cardstock

I colored things using

Distress Oxides

Glimmer Glam to name a few.

I was kinda getting there but still not really happy...

I thought that if maybe I began working on

the UmWowStudio Butterfly chipboard

Now, the one thing I LOVE about

UmWowStudio Chipboard

is it stands up to most anything you do to it

and still looks FABULOUS.

I painted my Butterfly,

added Glitter Glass,

cut the wings apart.

and spritzed the back with water.

You can actually watch the water

soak into the chipboard,

which allowed me to manipulate the chipboard.

Still not happy, I added more paint.

Now, it was beginning to take shape....

I adhered a piece of branch for the body

....and there it was.

I found a quote, stamped it onto a manila tag

and cut it apart.

It all worked....

though not my finest piece it was a great exploration

of various papers and medium

....and I'm HAPPY.

THANK YOU for stopping by.....

Hi UmWowStudio Fans....

Christmas is right around the corner...

can you believe it!??!

....and I am sharing a non~holiday creation!
Yes, you heard me correctly.

I created a pocket hanger to hold a few of my cotton picks

that I recently acquired.

I used a painted UmWowStudio chippie

Netting Background

which I sewed onto my canvas pocket,

to add to the texture and color of my

pocket hanger.

I also added few glass buttons

and a piece of black ticking to

hang the my pocket with.

I hope you enjoyed my

non~holiday creation.

Wishing each and everyone of you a

Very MERRY Christmas

and a HAPPY New Year!
