{Shabby Junk Journal Chipboard Tags}

Hello My Friends! Happy October!

Such a crazy fall here in Michigan, the tempatures were in the mid-80’s this past week still. One day it will be a heat wave and the next in the 50’s. It doesn’t look like the leaves will be real colorful this year, so trying to enjoy what is on the trees right now before the snow comes!

I created these Shabby Chipboard tags a few days ago with bits of antique laces, mother of pearl buttons, ephemera and vintage images. The tags are a little bigger and perfect for those that love junk journals (you can write on the back) and I have listed them in my Etsy shop.

{Old Maids Love Vintage Book Junk Journal}

Happy Fall to all!
I have been trying to finish up some projects that were started over the summer. Today, on a very RAINY day this junk journal was completed and photographed. I used a very vintage book, laces, mother of pearl buttons, stamps, various ephemera and tags, Tim Holtz die cut images, charms, and lots of time to complete this one.

There are book pages that just have text as well, and I made a little video on my You Tube channel. However, I could not figure out how to make the video go the right way again (2012 was the last time I uploaded there).
This journal will be placed in my Etsy shop, and I have a few more that are getting finishing touches this week as well.

I am grateful for the cooler weather. It was a terribly hot summer…but I wish the season of fall was soooo much longer! Happy Tuesday!

{September Gothic Arch}

Happy September!

Just a little Gothic arch to share with you today. Lately, I have been creating some journals and they are still in the process of getting the remaining embellishments, but I cannot wait to share them with you.

I cannot believe that summer is gone and school will be starting. It always flies by so quickly, but especially this year.

I hope you have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!
