Sugar Lump Studios - A Sweet Smattering of Mixed Media Art

{Surrender Altered Chipboard Album}

January 15, 2017

I wanted to share this chipboard album that was started many years ago in completion. I have shared spreads of it over the last few years, but today I finally had sunshine! I made myself set it up on the table to photograph as best I could. It truly was a labor of love as some page spreads were done before and after my stroke.

The title is “Surrender” because each day I must surrender to what is and let go of what was.

Each page features paint in various techniques on the cardboard. I used Paper Whimsy faces, and various ephemera. I also have Sizzix die cuts throughout as well.

I will be listing this in my Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/sugarlumpstudios
in hopes that someone else will love it in their studio or home!

I worked on this journal spread over the past few days and wanted to share it. The altered pages started with a good coat of watercolor paint, glimmer mist, followed by various shades of beige watered down craft paint. I also used a stencil to add gold paint. Some of the images are from Paper Whimsy. The text was printed out in Microsoft Word, and chalked before I cut them into thin strips. I also included some used postage stamps.

June 6, 2016

I finished another spread over the weekend into this altered book. I used watercolors first on the pages, then paint and a paper bunting that was cut apart and added to the bottom. On both pages, Paper Whimsy tags and images were used. I added little bits of lace, and typed up song lyrics to “Moonlight” and cut them into strips. I then added chalk with a q-tip. I spritzed the pages with Perfect Pearls Mist and of course layers of Matte Gel Medium were used.

Thanks for looking! :)

I started a new journal book this weekend. While it is not my best work, I am trying to just make art and use my right hand the best I can. I decided to use this vintage photo of the two little girls (again) because it really tugs at my heart-strings. This new journal will be filled with song lyrics and this spread is titled “Beautiful Child” from Fleetwood Mac (Tusk album).

I’m anxious to try making more pages…it has been far too long! Happy Sunday!
