Summer’s over but I’m not quite done with it yet.
Today I'm sharing my shabby chic Summer Place Junk Journal.
It’s stuffed with old things I used to hold
dear:
a collage featuring an old ticket to a play I attended;
stained
Battenburg doily;
Pansies I dried years ago and now have a home in my journal;
a letter from Grandma which included a dollar to buy ice cream on the way home
from the neighborhood pool;
a post card from my favorite Pre-Raphaelite Artist;
and some music sheet to, “ A Summer Place” by Percy Faith.
When I was a young child, my mom would play
this song when she set up to oil paint
or do some chores.
Then and today, it
still resonates with me.
I feel all is right in the world and it still brings a
tear to my eye.
I can't use my theme some to a Summer Place on YouTube, so I had to choose another classical piece of music to use in stead. Thanks for viewing with me.

All the chipboard, and linen fabric in the junk journal was
treated with yummy, creamy Shimmerz Paints.
Let me tell you what I used.
Chipboard: Acritonez-Three Sheets to the Wind
Inklingz – Pugnacious Purple, Precious Posey, and I Love you Onyxly
Shimmerz – Orchid-stra
Button:
Blingz- Gold GlimmerShimmer – Berry-licious
Coffee dyed paper and white linen fabric: I combined the following two products to
achieve a dusty lilac color.

I too hate to say goodbye to summer. Your journal is a feast for the soul. I love that you use items that are personal to you. Wish I could see it in real time. Just a magnificent work of art. Keep smiling and creating. And YEAH on your first You tube! Well done indeed!.
ReplyDeleteMy mom and I used to watch A Summer Place with Tab Hunter. We always cried no matter how many times we had seen it together. I have a hard time listening to that piece now, because for my mom, those memories are no longer there. Enjoy it together with love, this is over the top romantic, soft and lovely, Char
