favorite shop spotlight: lace & whimsy

August 15, 2018
lace & whimsy

It is no surprise that Lace & Whimsy is one of my favorite sticker shops around. The little online shop is run by Kathy D. Clark and it offers up a mixture of lovely stationery items like stickers, die cuts, and other paper accessories, along with prints of Kathy’s own illustrations and her original enamel pins. The Lace & Whimsy style is magical. It combines Kathy’s own delicate and fun illustrative style and vintage images publicly sourced to create that modern nostalgic feel that I love so much about her shop. The colors she uses are muted, with lots of pastels and black and white bits thrown into the mix. It’s all very fun and super unique.

I wouldn’t necessarily say that Lace & Whimsy is home to planner stickers. Honestly, Kathy’s stickers can be used for any sort of creative project. She’s got a wide range of stickers that work as fun decorative pieces to make any sort of layout festive. Some stickers, like her Fairies & Folly stickers, are definitely geared more towards the traditional planner girl, but I think most of her stickers can be perfectly used in your bullet journal or even an art journal, like I’ve used them throughout my Get Messy Season of Kindness art journal.

There are definite themes in her work. You can tell that Kathy’s greatly inspired by the tarot and the universe. A lot of her products have a soft celestial theme to them, with the moon, sun, stars, and constellations showing up in various of her collections. Yet, she also creates collections based on 1920s Ziegfeld girls, Marie Antoinette, mermaids, woodland creatures, Halloween, and fun summer carnivals, the latter great for documenting your Disney trips! She even does some fun collaborations with other artists, turning their work into fun stickers too.

I’m personally so inspired by her work! And I absolutely love that she’s started creating little die cut embellishment packs to compliment her lovely stickers. She calls them Paper Packs and has an assortment of them that match her stickers per collections. They are so much fun to work with! I absolutely love die cuts–they are quite possibly my favorite paper bits ever–and hers makes it so much easier to include those elements that I love from her stickers sheets onto journal spreads since they are enlarged versions of those elements.

I used the black and white pegasus die cut from her Celestial Whimsy collection to create this lunar calendar spread in my bullet journal. This spread was inspired by Kathy’s Moon Cycle stickers, but it all came together with that little pegasus creating magic on my page.

Kathy recently sent me this lovely box of goodies for me to play with and create things to share with you all. When she asked me what I would like, I told her to curate a little kit combining her celestial collection with her tarot collection and her moon mermaids. And wow! Everything matches so perfectly together and I just can’t wait to play around with these lovelies.

Before I do though, I’ve filmed another unboxing video of all the lovely things she sent.

What’s even better is that she offered up a special discount code to all of my readers and followers! Using the code aerialovely15, you can get 15% off your purchase from the Lace & Whimsy shop!

So if you’ve been wondering where I’ve been getting all of my cute stickers, now you know! Kathy is the absolute sweetest and her shop is awesome! She designs, prints and cuts everything in house, so you know that whatever you order will be made with absolute care and love.

I can’t wait to create some fun projects and spreads with these beauties and share them with you all!

I made a new snippet journal. This one is 6x6 and I'm going to use it as an art journal. I really really want to get back into art journaling. Like, it has been calling me for most of this year and I just haven't gotten back into the flow of it. I've been enjoying my time (writing) journaling, but there's this nagging feeling deep inside of me that wants to get messy but for some reason refuses to begin. So I think I'm just going to make myself begin. Just start and see what happens. I'm gonna make a lot of shitty art but if that's the means to begin then so be it

 Let's go make some shitty art. 

I hope I can begin this weekend. Process video of me creating this journal is up on my Youtube channel, if you're interested.

Happy Friday lovelies! xx

Still working through @lizelayne’s Water Your Soul course in my WYS journal. This little binder is getting so chunky! I still have lots to work through and am just merrily bouncing back and forth between lessons, anchoring myself in whatever practice my heart needs right now.

Today’s Flip-Through Friday is my Summer Stories 2023 journal.

This is sort of a hodge-podge journal of all sorts of bits—memories, junk, photos, art journal spreads, and lots of journaling. I've kept it all summer and it's now filled and completed and ready to share.

Here's just a quick flip-through. I've got a full chatty flip up on my Youtube channel if that's more your speed.

Happy Friday loves! xx

I finally finished filling up my 2023 Summer Stories journal. I had originally intended to only keep this one from June to July, but I didn't journal as much as I thought I would in here this summer, so it has lasted me through to the first few days of September. I'm not mad about it. I prefer a filled journal to a half-filled one. I personally hate leaving too many pages blank at the end. I'm hoping to have a flip-through up on my Youtube channel tomorrow. Just have to film it! 😆

Just wanted to share a little look at my Water Your Soul journal that I've been keeping this year for @lizelayne's class. I'm finding that I tend to dip into the course whenever I have the time and it's never consistent. But I am so surprised at how much I've actually managed to fill in this journal!

It is mostly a mixture of the class printables and my answers to the questions, magazine clippings, quotes, and lots and LOTS of journaling, but it's been a lovely place to return to over and over again.

I was able to explore more of the lessons this past weekend when I had some time thanks to the holiday. But I think that the joy of this particular journal—and course really—is that I can return to any part of it at any time and pick up where I left off. I can work out of order and move stuff around—love the binder for this! I get it, Liz! I love how this journal is growing as I move and grow through all of the And Spaces we've been exploring—and even some other And Spaces that showed up for me too!

I can't wait to see how this journal ends up looking by the end of the year. xx

I had one of those days today where I was so exhausted from the week but at the same time wanted to go out and do something. Ever feel that way while also knowing that you just need to rest?

I really wanted to sit in Central Park and catch up on all of my journals but I just couldn’t motivate myself to actually walk to the park. So I took myself (and the dog) down to our building’s courtyard and set up shop on the tiled patio. While there was no grass, it was very quiet out there and I was able to catch up on some journaling and continue in my Water Your Soul binder from where I left off months ago.

Past me had printed all the lovely printables @lizelayne had for every lesson that I had yet to complete, so I spent some time getting all of them into my journal. This quote in particular stood out to me today. This is me. I've dealt with perfectionism all my life and for the last 10 years, I've slowly been coming into my own person separate from the need to "be perfect."

There is no such thing as perfection. The reality that we're all so beautifully imperfect is the real truth we should all strive for.

Anyway, I hope you've all had and are having a wonderful Sunday. xx
