Sugar Lump Studios

Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{Sweet Sisters Fabric Journal}

August 13, 2012

I made this fabric journal book using images from Digital Collage Sheets (the same as my tag post last week), but a few of the images are from my own personal collection of cabinet cards. The theme for this journal is “Sisters” because each image has two girls. There is oodles of lace in this piece, pocket pages and a gorgeous vintage rhinestone brooch that adorns the cover.

I will be listing this fabric book in my Etsy shop also:

The temperatures have been heavenly here in Michigan the last few days. I had jeans and socks on just a few days ago. It feels like I haven’t done that since March! ;) Happy Monday to you!

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.

    Oh what a sweet piece this is. I would have to do this with brother/sister! Not wearing long pants yet…still hitting around 92 for the last several days. It’s also very dreary with fires blowing smoke in this direction now. I think there was sunshine today!!!

    Nancy, I thought it was only the cover that was fabric so to see photograph after photograph with those images backed onto dreamy lace, oh my goodness, so special.
    Have the most amazing time with your Scottish family when they visit in September :) We’ve had mixed weather here, in fact at the moment there is a thunder storm.
    Wishes
