{Just Because}

Today, I am sharing a few of my favorite photos from my “Just Because” board on Pinterest.

I am still not creating, but hope to make time even for an hour or two each week. The
weather has been really hot far too soon in the summer for my liking. I hope you are enjoying summer where ever you are!

{Shabby Cabinet Card Box – Art Archives}

Hello! Happy June to all of you. I am still here, but there are some things going on that are making creative time impossible right now. I hope that will change in the next few weeks, even if I can make something for a few hours a week.

I figured that I would go through my art archives and share a piece from a few years back that was published as well in Somerset. The cigar box I painted a shabby white, and lined with old sheet music. Inside there is an old baby shoe, rhinestone pin, glove, and cabinet card.

{Rose Garden Vintage Fabric Journal}

I wanted to share this Rose Garden Fabric Journal that I recently completed. For this project, I decided to mix both faces and rose images throughout. I print my images on June Tailor Fabric Sheets (inserted into my printer.) I used a mixture of vintage pink Swiss dot fabric and muslin as the page backgrounds. I incorporated antique/vintage collars, laces,and fabric remnants throughout the journal as well. Lots of hand sewing adding little rosebud millinary flowers and mother of pearl buttons.

I like the mixture of the pink fabrics and the muslin backgrounds. Something a little different then my usual journals. The sun finally came out this morning after days of rain and grey, so I grabbed my camera and tried to get the best light possible.
