Hello, my friends!
It was my turn to share a few projects over at Vintage Street Market this week, so I thought I’d share them with you here, as well…
Summer is here! Isn’t that a wonderful thing?! In thinking up my projects, I thought of all that June brings…no more school, lazy days at the beach, Father’s Day, weddings…so many things!
A day at the beach inspired this miniature sand bucket piece. A sweet little paper doll girl perched on a vintage-inspired Bingo card…
…a layer of “sand” at the bottom made by scrunching up brown crepe paper and sprinkling it with chunky, clear German glass glitter—and shells & pearls, of course!
Then there’s Father’s Day…
This Dapper Dad paper doll was just the thing for this long, tall card—reminiscent of all the over-sized ones I’ve seen before from days gone by…
Wouldn’t you just LOVE to have a car like this now?! I would! {I think all I’d do all day is drive around in it…maybe it’s a good thing I just have a minivan!} My Dad did have one very similar to this one…ah, the good old days!
And I just had to add another page to my growing art journal…this one featuring a favorite quote of mine from Audrey Hepburn…perfectly illustrated by this lovely, young 1950s girl…
It’s true, isn’t it?
A pretty little border at the bottom finishes it off—a paper measuring tape, some lace & a few feminine touches, and that’s about it!
Wishing you many wonderful, lazy & inspiring summer days ahead…
Julie

ReplyDeleteHi Julie, you always create the sweetest things. And your art journaling just gets better and better. I do want to try it but just can't seem to get my mojo on. :/ My kids have finished school but I still have to work until the 14th. Counting down the days. :) Have a great week. Tammy
ReplyDeleteNow, that I have my son off on his mission, my thoughts are on getting some scrapbooking done. Problem is that there are so many other types of projects on the table right now! hope your having a great start to summer. Next week we will be at Girl's Camp already!
