Hi everyone. Happy middle of another week to you. And thank you everyone who sent along belated birthday wishes.
Today I have another journal page for my Home Sweet Home challenge at Art Journal Journey. I went vintage with this one and made it in my ledger journal.
Other than the quote there's no stamping on this page, but there is a lot of die cutting and embossing. You can see the embossed utensil piece which I placed down on the center of an inked page. The embossed piece is inked the same red as the background. The vintage lady with the apron and the stove are from an old Sizzix die set. I inked the lady in black and used markers to another old die that I think is from Cheery Lynn Designs to make the heart border. I added in some foam confetti hearts as they fit perfectly in the open center of the trim hearts. Finally, I added a heart sticker, outlined it and then added the quote.
I'll finish my post with this photo that I took when this view caught my eye. My husband started working on the mega-Lego set I gave him for Christmas. When he starts a new bag of pieces he likes to lay them out all organized before he assembles them.
I think these pieces look cool all laid out and organized. However, for a man who functions so well with disorganization, I find it "funny" that he has to organize his Lego pieces. 😏
That's all for me. I hope you're having a great week so far.

...the vintage lady with the apron is a stereotype of a woman's place is in the kitchen. Haven't we moved beyond that?
I love how you designed the page. Super sweet!
Lovely art and interesting on hubby's organization with the Lego. -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
I think if I did legos, that's how I'd do it too. It's sort of how I do jigsaw puzzles. I like the saying on this piece!
This journal page is beautiful. This kitchen fairy scene is wonderful, as is the way you designed the background. The Lego photo reminds me of the old days; I always did that too!Have fun, your husband!
have a happy day , hugs Elke
Love the retro lady in the kitchen with the stove and the fab background of that embossed card. Such a lovely bright page Erika and a good way to use the ledger page.
LOL - husbands organise/disorganise.
Hugs, Neet xx
Happy Birthday!!! I did a lego camera last year or so. What fun it was.
I see you on that page since you love to bake, very nice homage to homelife. XOX
This is a fabulous page, Erika! Your ledger background is gorgeous.
