    Restored Vintage Scrapbook Album from the 1890’s

    September 29, 2019 /

    I love to go to flea markets and thrift stores. A few months ago I stumbled on the most beautiful scrapbook from the 1890’s. The patent on the back of the scrapbook is dated March 1876 as seen in the photo below. The images that were glued to the pages provided a glimpse into the past. There were hand written dates on many of the images. I could just imagine the young woman cutting and pasting her favorite things. I was beyond excited and knew I had to purchase it. Once I got it home, the question was, what do I do with this? I pondered this question for quite…

    Vintage Scrapbook Album- Memories of my Mother

    September 17, 2019 /

    The idea of a scrapbook album showcasing vintage photos of my mom had been on my mind for a long time. After my mom passed away, I found dozens of photos and newspaper clippings of her. They were saved in a cedar chest in her basement. I knew I wanted to create something I could look at often. However, I didn’t want to go sort through old photographs packed away in boxes every time I thought of my Mom. The Graphic 45 Vintage Hollywood paper collection was the perfect choice to feature all the beautiful photos I had. The cover was constructed simply by taking a piece of paper from…

    Altered Cigar Box with Graphic 45 Vintage Hollywood papers

    September 4, 2019 /

    Immediately when I saw the Graphic 45 Vintage Hollywood paper pack I was blown away. The images reflect one of my favorite time periods. There were so many projects floating around in my head for what to create with this beautiful paper collection. I settled on a altering a cigar box. This particular box was smaller than the standard cigar box you usually see and somewhat deeper. It also has a lid that secures which I like. I chose the movie star to be the focal point, she was just the right size for the top of my cigar box. I cut out the image and decoupaged it to make…

    Paper and Lace Dress on Mixed Media Canvas

    August 27, 2019 /

    Today I wanted to create something a little different. Paper dolls were always a favorite for me as a little girl. After seeing all the paper craft posts on Pinterest, specifically the images by Brenda Henning, I decided to give it a shot. The bottom half of the dress was created by folding craft papers accordion style like a fan. Some of the pages had frayed edges, some scalloped, some torn, some distressed. I kept gathering and clipping together the folded pages at the top to create the small “waist” of my dress, fanning out the edges to create the dress shape. Once satisfied with the shape, I stapled the…

    Shabby Chic Mini File Folder Junk Journals

    August 16, 2019 /

    Three shabby chic vintage file folders created in an afternoon! What a great time I had putting these little cuties together! It all came together when I had a few hours open, but didn’t want to embark on a large project. I wanted something that was easy and would use up some of my paper scraps. Since the mini 5×7″ file folders were a neutral creme and black color, I decided to continue with those colors. All of my papers were laid out and cut to relatively the same size when folded in half. Here are pictures of the three finished journals. The interiors of each journal are very similar…

    The Workbasket-Shabby Chic Fashion Ladies Junk Journal

    August 13, 2019 /

    The Workbasket– what is that? A homemaker arts magazine from the 1960’s. This shabby chic fabric and paper journal was inspired by a copy I picked up at a thrift store. The image of the beautiful lady on the front cover was from one of the pages inside. I love to look at these magazines and see how times have changed! The cover was put together using a method entitled “fabric paper or paper fabric”. The YouTube I watched was by Ronda Winstead. Definitely check it out. The process is fun and easy! All pages were constructed before attaching them to the spine. I started with a piece of neutral…

    Vintage 1940’s evening dress – re purposed

    August 9, 2019 /

    I have to admit, I have a hard time passing up a Goodwill sale. In my area, they happen every other Saturday. It seems that every time I make it to one of these sales, I find something (or a lot of somethings) to be thrilled about. I did have a focus for this goodwill excursion: to find laces and trim for a journal I am making. You really can get a lot for the money looking at clothing to use in your projects rather than going to the craft store. Agreeably, it may be difficult if you are looking for something specific I agree, that is why I will…

    Embellished Vintage File Folder Junk Journal

    August 5, 2019 /

    This embellished vintage file folder junk journal was inspired by the beautiful woman I cut out of a magazine. At the time I didn’t know what I was going to make with her, but I knew the idea would come to me sooner or later. One day I decided to use up a bunch of manila file folders I had lying around. There were a total of 8 regular size folders which I cut in half lengthwise. Make any width and length you want your journal to be. Once my pieces were folded in half, they measured approximately 4 1/2 x 4 1/2″. The construction of this journal was relatively…

    Jeweled Decoupage Mini Altered Box

    July 29, 2019 /

    This decoupage altered box started out as a plain container for a wheel of cheese! Using mod podge matte, I decoupaged craft paper to the interior and exterior of the base and lid of the container and then I did the same for the sides. Any excess paper was easy to cut off once dry. I used an exacto knife to get clean edges. The craft paper was from the Modern Millinery Signature paper collection. This pack of double sided craft paper was purchased at Wal-Mart. They have some great options that are reasonably priced. Once the paper dried, the decorations were easy to apply using E6000. Various fabric scraps,…

    Beautiful Burgundy Botanical Fabric Vintage Junk Journal

    July 19, 2019 /

    This vintage junk journal beauty was inspired by the burgundy fabric I picked up at a thrift store. It ended up being quite large, due to all the embellishments and ephemera I included. But hey, I am of the mindset the more the better! I started with 6 8×10″ pages of thick neutral colored card stock, then took the burgundy floral fabric and cut 2 pieces that also measured 8×10″ (for the front and back covers). Next, I pulled out various lace, fabric and craft paper pieces and cut them to approximately the same dimensions, until I had 10 total (using mostly cream and off white lace/fabric for this part).…
