Moikka! It's Riikka here today to share a layout with you. The inspiration to this page came from the wonderful colors of the WOW! powders - they make such beautiful rainbows! I decided to create a rainbow to my layout twice, once to the background and the other time to the layering paper.

I used my favorite WOW! stamp set in the make. I used it in the background, in the paper layers and also as the title. The stamp set is called "Big Words". I love the sayings in the set, the font and also how the letters are spaced! Really wonderful and handy set to have. 
To make the words visible on the rainbow colored background I used "Bright White" powder, echoing the white cardstock I used as the background. For the layering paper, I did the opposite - used white cardstock as the base and rainbow colored powders on top. 
If you want to see how the page was made, please see the video below!

The layout is about my younger daughter. She's such a beautiful person, but …

Who isn't a BIG fan of this talented crafter? Zsoka joined out team last year and we have been blessed by many of her fabulous creations. We have done a little write up piece to get to know her that little more. ___________________________ What is your favourite thing about crafting? I forget about the world while I craft. 💖
If you could chose anything to do for the day, what would it be? 
I'd love to go back in time for a day...To about 9-10 years ago. I was much happier then. I however did not craft back then, ha! 💖
Is there anything you wished would come back into fashion?  I generally don't care for trends, never did. I wear what I like and want (well this has been limited by my size these past few years). It's the same in crafting, if I like something I will use it, let it be a certain color, embellishment or design concept. I've loved coral for about 15 years, it finally made Color of the Year haha! Don't limit yourselves by what others say looks good. Go with y…

Heippa and glimmering, glittering July to you from Riikka! This month we are all about embossing glitters here at Wow Embossing Powder blog. Here's my take on the subject! I've been doing several different project types this year but even though I love mixed media really much I still somehow identify myself as a scrapbooker. So for this glitter theme I thought to do a layout with some glitter touches. 

The same applies to glitter as to so many elements in crafting - contrasts heighten each other. So if you want to glitter to glimmer even more, add something mat beside it! So that's why this layout has plain paper elements with the glittered elements, to really emphasize the different surfaces.
If you'd like to see how I made the page and where I used the lovely embossing glitters Wow has in their repertoire in this layout, please see the step by step underneath. To read about the story behind the photo and the page, please continue until the end of the post.

Patti Hamil:
Hello everyone! For my project I made a layout with a photo from my nephew's wedding this May. I used lots of UmWow chippies and WOW powders. I also used an UmWow stencil on the background.



I used two colors of lavendar on the swirls, and added floral elements in lavendar and white.



I used the diamond stencil with lavendar ink in different areas of my background. I used the blue powder on the little chippie bird and added a tiny pearl for the eye!

I used three colors of green powder on the greenery chippies! I love the shimmer of the glitter! And the chippies are so pretty!

I added a tag with the jou…
