Welcome to the Sparkle N Sprinkle “It’s a Cultural Thing” Blog Hop. If you have arrived here from Shona’s blog then you are in the right spot. If you happened by , you can start back at the Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog to get all the details on prizes that will be given away .
For this blog hop I choose to use stamps from the Brocade Backgrounds Set and tie in other items that represent my family’s cultural heritage.
Here are two altered French Journals using book pages, ephemera, ribbons and buttons. The stamped images add texture with SNS flocking.
Click HERE for directions on how these were made.
My husbands’ mother was from Germany, she arrived in the United States in the 1960’s. Though we never had the opportunity to meet, Bob often says she had quite the crafty side and he thought we would get along famously. I had her in mind when I made this Altered Wood Block Art with German text.

Angie, your products are gorgeous! Love how you tied the brocade images, embossing powder and flocking in with the flavor of decades past and present. Beautiful! I also peeked at your wrist bands in the SNS gallery! What a wonderful use of textures, colors and elements keeping with the theme, and which is wearable art! Thanks for making these perfect items for the hop!

The journals are lovely, but love the wood block. I am a big fan of altered art, though still new to it. The block is simple, elegant and beautiful. Thank you for sharing it!
Gorgeous journals! Reminds me of the old flocked brocade-look wallpaper. Very vintage. Love the wood block too - wish I could see what the German print says. Beautiful!
I Love both your creations! You have inspired me!!
Nice use of flocking. I should move mine so I think about it more often!
Wonderful projects, Angie, but I especially like the journals. Great idea to use flocking to give texture. Love the sepia photos!
Very pretty. That brocade and flocking remind me of vintage, fuzzy wallpaper. :-)

Wonderful projects. Love the journals and how you used the flocking for texture. Love the stories and personal touch on all your projects.
Terrific cards and altered book. The story makes them more special. I like the family muse as your inspirations
I just loved your altered wood block. I felt your choices of paper and embellishments were unique and beautiful. I really loved the finial-like object on top. Thank you for a very different presentation. The profiles don't fit me, I'll just tell you that my name is Aileen, and my email is danda88@verizon. net
I really like your use of flocking & sparklensoft on the two journals. The old photos & postcard are a nice touch as well. That is a very pretty drawer pull on your box.
Wow! How beautiful and creative!
Great use of the ribbon and flocking. I love how you reminded me it's not all about cards! I need to branch out into other paper arts!
