A few more of my favorites. Just like my paper trimmers, these are some of my working tools that stay out all the time. -Fiskars Rotary Cutter-keeps a solid sharp edge and fabulous for larger and thicker pieces of fabric or paper. ✂️ -Walnut Stain or Vintage Photo ink pads(Tim Holtz) and foam dobbers. Because there isn’t anything that gives paper a vintage look better than a good inky edge. Use a two ink approach for an even better result(usually two shades apart). 🎨 -Aleene’s Original Tacky Glue-always the best hold and works great for fabric and paper. Less is better. I own many kinds of glues and glue sticks. I use this one the most. For me, many glues have too much water content which results in curling paper and added work. (yes- there’s alot of debate over glue🙄).
More to follow on “my favorite products or tools”….Do you have a favorite tool??

Book info on the used book finds for this week. The first have illustrations from flowers to birds to art, in all sizes. The 1989 atlas is huge with the pages measuring 12 inches plus tall. Thrifted they were each less than $2 which makes them even better!!! Message me if you have any questions. My junk journal kits are one of a kind, each one includes maps, illustrations and text pages in foreign languages and English. They can be found in my Etsy shop. Link to the shop is in my IG Bio 👆👆👆up there👌

Thrifted book finds this week for Junk Journal material, book making, mixed media art etc. Each of these were less than $2 each and chocked full of possibilities. I will make another post with photos of each book but just message me if you have any questions. There was water damage to a few of these (I just don’t use those parts)but I can repurpose the pages as well as the cover in most cases.

New supplies to play with in your Junk Journals. The illustrations are from 1930’s children’s books. The empty old slides have many possibilities. They’re kinda cool just empty too.
