Sugar Lump Studios

Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{Springtime Tag Book}

February 2, 2011

I’ve been playing with my new Zutter (Binditall) that hubby gave me as an early birthday gift. I have wanted to purchase one for several years now, and when we spotted the machine at Hobby Lobby the other day…well let’s just say it had to come home! :)

This little tag book was made using manilla shipping tags that I altered with various pattern papers, ephemera,Paper Whimsy images,distress ink,seam binding ribbon, and mother of pearl buttons. The shades remind me of a beautiful spring day…with shades of robin’s egg blue.

    Hi dear Nancy,
    What a beautifull work of art, the little tag pages, are all so sweet, and full of lovely images from PW -and your color choises are so lovely all together-
    So sweetly springlike.
    Hugs, to you-

    I don't have a Zutter but my friend Linda does and she likes it. I am getting the 7 Gypsies Binderie and plan to make my own journals. I shall try a tag book, too.
