Vintage Journey - Guest Creative Guide


Hey everyone, check out Vintage Journey where I am Guest Creative Guide this month.  Vintage Journey has such a great collection of art by a pretty amazing lineup of creative talent, I am honored to join them!  The theme for July is "Destinations".  Vintage Journey features vintage/shabby chic/Tim Holtz inspired art.  Are you excited yet??

My project is a traveler's bag to collect and keep ephemera from my journey.  "Destinations" is a word pregnant with meaning and sparked many thoughts.  My approach was "Destination: Home" and an exploration of what that meant.  Hop on over to the Vintage Journey blog to see my traveler's bag along with the techniques and processes I used to create it.  Enjoy!!

  2. Cheryl...I totally LOVE your burlap bag that you created for a vintage journey. It is so beautifully crafted and I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed reading your blog post. As I said in the comment I left over at a vintage journey, your words are so lyrical… Just like a poem. I truly enjoyed reading what inspired you and your thought process as you carefully added each element. Congratulations on your guest designer spot. You did a fabulous job!
