Traveler’s Notebook Cover

January 7, 2021

Hello and Happy Thursday!

I had a little time in the studio today and wanted to create a Traveler’s Notebook cover using digital papers, collage images, washi tape and ephemera.

It has been cold and dreary here in Michigan and this is when I really love to get in my area and create. I spend a lot of time with my Grandson (who is 17 months old tomorrow) so I have to eek that creative time in.

I always love a New Year because everything is fresh and new. I always wanted to purge as well and tidy things up. Looking forward to finding some time for that as well!

December Journal Pages

December 12, 2020

I had a little creative time the other day, so I created a December Journal page in my Traveler’s Notebook (Midori Style). This is a combination of Tim Holtz papers, old Sugar Lump Studios Christmas stamps (snowflakes), vintage collage images, music tags, washi tapes, and ephemera.

I was asked on my Instagram if my pages ever have handwriting on them. Yes, they do. But, I rarely show them because of my handwriting post-stroke. I really despise it.

I hope you are all stay safe and well and enjoying the Christmas and Holiday season.

Hello My Friend’s! Today, I am sharing this chipboard journal that was completed this afternoon. A true labor of love. It has been quite some time since I created a journal so detailed.

I have used Tim Holtz papers throughout. Each page is constructed using heavy duty book tape to secure the papers to the chipboard. I tea stained water color papers and dispersed them through out for more intense journal areas.

All sorts of ephemera, collage images, pockets, tags, washi tapes, tuck spots are on this one. I hope you enjoy taking a peek!

Have a great weekend!

Studio Space Finds & Journaling

August 5, 2020

I just wanted to share my latest studio additions this past week. Miss Adelaide has a new vintage straw hat that was found at a recent shopping trip. I thought it suited her and she seems to like it too!

I have been trying to journal from time to time. Since my stroke effected my right side, learning to write was (and is) difficult. I don’t do it often, but drawing faint lines with a pencil really helped. I am sharing that spread with you.

My new banker’s chair was something I won on an online auction. The leading bid was $9.00, so I probably went a little too high at $23.00 but so happy that I did. It was quite the haul to go get it picked up too! I asked on Instagram if I should paint it white to match my studio or leave it. Leaving it seems to be what most favored. Tucker (my cat) loves it too. I plan to sew a chair pad for it as well.
