Happy 2020!

January 1, 2020

Happy New Year! A new decade has begun and I am excited for 2020 to be here!

This year, I have a goal to keep up in my notebooks more often. My datebook color coordinates with it as well. The sweet little girl was one of my Christmas gifts from my daughter.

In 2020, I hope to accomplish many new things. There will be changes to my website as well. I am very excited about this new journey, and hope you will take the ride with me!

Wishing each of you a very Happy New Year! Thank you for your continued support!

{Baby Cabinet Card Journal}

March 21, 2017

 

I am sharing this little Baby Cabinet Card Journal that I made. It has old laces, watercolor paper, sari and seam binding ribbon, vintage sheet music, and chipboard tags. It has a ring binding as well. They are tedious to make, but very fun!

Trying to stay busy creating in the studio and looking forward to more sunshine now that it is SPRING!

{Little Cabinet Card Journal}

February 21, 2017

Hello! I was just testing a few things a few weeks ago, and this was a little cabinet card journal I made. Not real fussy, water color paper for inserts, vintage lace, and sari ribbon with tags/wooden spools. I listed her in my Etsy shop: Sugar Lump Studios.

The past few weeks I have had little time for creation. It seems there are stages in my recovery where I will average seeing doctors, specialists, etc. twice a week for weeks…and then I get a break again for many months. Even 2.5 years post stroke recovery is an every day word. This usually results in a 2 hour (there and back) car ride as I live further from my specialty doctors now. I wouldn’t change them for the world, and feel very blessed to be under the best care.

I am thankful for the sunshine and 50 degree weather we are having in Michigan right now. I don’t think I EVER remember this in February! :-)

Now, I have a break in seeing doctor’s…so between the weather being beautiful I hope to spend more time creating again!

{Baby Cabinet Cards Vignette}

I got out this week and went to my local antique mall and found some little treasures. Not many, but I was pleased what I came home with. An antique sewing drawer, vintage doily, 4 cabinet cards, sheet music, and a few old books.

It seems my local mall has things that are from my era now…I guess that my age is now vintage! So that is why I like to find the things that I like even more. As I was paying for my purchases…the cashier said to me “I like your style”! Then we discussed how things we grew up with were now being sold at the antique mall and laughed.

I want to share them with you for use in your art work.
Please do not sell in collage sheets. Just right click and download to your hard drive.
