Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{Old Maids Love Vintage Book Junk Journal}

September 25, 2018

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!

About Sugar Lump Studios

I am a dabbler. I love to create using all sorts of mediums...pattern papers, stamping, fabric, assemblage, collage, altered art, a never ending smattering of whatever strikes my fancy in whimsical moments. I find creating allows my soul to be fulfilled and love to spend hours in the studio.
