Guest Creative Team Member : NUPUR PATEL

Hello folks -- today we have the talented Nupur Patel on the blog! I adore her clustery beautiful style and am super honored to have here sharing a beautiful 12x12 with us.

I am Nupur Patel, 23yrs old from Mumbai, India. Graphic Designer by profession and a scrapbooker by hobby. I was introduced to visual arts in my school years at Ecole Mondiale world School. Since then i developed a love for art, craft and design.After having learned and explored the handworks it was high time that I stepped into the Digital World to enhance my creativity, thus, leading to Graduating at Raffles Design International and later from Griffith University, Australia. Traveling, capturing and trapping memories are my source of inspiration to enter the world of scrapbooking.

It would be great to see you drop by my blog : Down the Memory Lane (http://downthememorylane9008.blogspot.com)

Hello Everyone!

Each day holds a surprise. But only if we expect it 

can we see, hear, or feel it when it comes to us.

 Let's not be afraid to receive each day's surprise, 

whether it comes to us as sorrow or as joy 

It will open a new place in our hearts, 

a place where we can welcome

 new friends and celebrate more fully.....

             - Henri Nouwen

Here rolls in Celebrate Life!

Using the amazing nature loving collection

 "Nature Walk" 

The earthy feel, the soothing look, 

the calm colours all together takes you on a tour. 

The flair buttons are to die for,  I couldn't resist but use it.

The glossy finish, the look just adds that little magical touch to the layout

 including the amazing sturdy graphic chipboards, they are nothing less than a cherry on the top.

The arrows, the circles have been sprayed with the black mist to make it stand out.

Love - art journal

Hello :)

Here is Tusia Lech. Today it is my turn to inspire you :) I created an art journal page about everything, what I love.

The background was created using PanPastels - 640.5 Permanent Green, 680.5 Bright Yellow Green, 660.5 Chrom. Oxide Green, 250.5 Diarylide Yellow. Then I have added some other media - Gelatos, Artist Pitt Pens, Watercolor crayons, Ecolines, Izinks, Indian Ink.

The texture was created using gesso and gel medium through UmWowStudio gorgeous masks - circle confetti and hexagon.

I covered UmWowStudio chipboard pieces with gold PanPastel - 911.5 Rich Gold.

I love art journaling - it gives me a freedom :)

June Sketch Inspiration by Amy

Hello UmWowStudio fans!! It's Amy here today, to share a layout I created using this month's inspiring sketch!
I am completely in love with the gorgeous doilies, and using them was a no brainer paired with the sketch. For the background, I used a vintage plastic doily that had belonged to my grandma, and the circle confetti mask, layering with paint and ink. Since I had blended the photo into the background, I did the same with the doily, painting and inking the background on a gradient.

Finally,  I added my embellishments, like the gorgeous butterfly kisses flair.

I hope you were inspired to try this month's awesome sketch, there's always awesomeness offered for the winner of the month! I send you love and creative vibes! ~Loves, Amy

You Are Here

Greetings, UmWowStudio fans!! It's Amy here today, to share a layout I made, that focuses on some emotions I've been dealing with lately. Nothing soothes me more than having some creative time to work anxieties out, and using my favorite chipboard, flair, and masks is extra fun. Our family has some changes ahead, that may include moving from our home area, and everything has been up in the air. Time has seemed to pass so slowly, waiting for word of what is next. So, I made this project...that shows my impatience on the matter. :)  

 After painting up my background on the 7 Dots Studio Nature Walk paper, I used the circle confetti mask, and some heavy body paint, to add some interest around the area I planned to place the view finder-film reel chipboard piece. When that was complete, I painted the view finder chipboard with Viva Decor Ferro paint in graphite, as well as some rusty copper acrylic, to add a vintage look. I also layered up some Prima flowers, metal embellishments, and the skull bead, to give the chip the look of both film and a clock (time is passing, but not quick enough for me). Also in this top cluster is the "you are here" flair image, from the butterfly kisses collection, and the number 1 chipboard piece, from the numbered round tabs.


 I decided that the bottom of the page looked lonely, and needed some flair (pardon the pun), so I added the "destiny is calling" flair piece, also from the Butterfly Kisses flair set, as well as the number 5 from the numbered tabs. Layering more Nature Walk papers, washi tape, flowers, and stamping almost finished it up.

To complete my layout, I scattered some hexagon and star confetti to add a few extra sprinkles of interest across the page.  

I am really happy with how this turned out, and hope that it will be a good reminder to me, in the days, months and possibly years to come, that patience is all I needed, because no matter what.........we will end up where we're meant to be. 

 Have a great weekend all, and thanks for having a look today! 

~Amy
