Sugar Lump Studios - A Sweet Smattering of Mixed Media Art

Vintage Antiquities Journal Pockets

August 4, 2022

These little journal pockets I am sharing today are super easy to make and oh so lovely in a journal or a journal cover. I started with a real sturdy manilla file folder cut to various sizes. Next, I applied various pattern papers and old invoice papers. I added a small pocket strip on the front (about 1.5 inches) so I would be able to tuck tags, ephemera, photos inside.

Next, I machine stitched along the edges (leaving the pocket portion open of course) and used distress ink along the edges. I tucked digital tags and ephemera print outs, coffee stained merchandise tags, old photo scans printed out, and altered coin/seed envelopes inside. Bits of lace and buttons were glued on the front as well.

They are perfect to adorn a page or cover of a journal! Once you start making them you will find how fun they are!

Old Times 3 Ring Journal with Vintage Photos

August 1, 2022

Happy August!

This journal was created using mixed media papers, scrapbook papers, embellishments, laces, and loads of original vintage photos. They were all houses using book rings to hold the 45 pages together.

I am sharing only a few of the pages on this post today, but as you can see it is a colorful collection of vibrant papers, trims, embellishments and photos of long ago. I made sure to leave some blank pages for journaling and tuck spots too. You will find quite a few journal pockets throughout as well.

I have it listed in my Etsy shop for those that might be interested. I don’t create them like this very often.

I Know Gothic Arch Card

July 10, 2022

Happy Sunday!

I wanted to share a little gothic arch made using digital papers (Sam Poole Designs) and collage images. I just love the colors on this piece. It makes me feel like I am in a summer garden with roses all around!

I cannot believe it is almost the middle of July already! I hope you are enjoying it wherever you are!

Old Book Summer Journal

June 26, 2022

This little journal was created in an old book that was perfect for its keeping. I tried to stay strictly florals, ephemera, pattern papers, laces, tags and embellishments. There are no images of people in this journal.

The gallery above is just a sampling as there are many more pages throughout.

What is your favorite style of journal to keep?
