Welcome to Altered Pages! Susan here bringing you a special project for today as we are welcoming the SUMMER SOLSTICE...Steampunk Style!!! Thanks to LeslieRahye for hosting this special bloghop! 

I created this lovely "Star Spangled Pin" featuring a vintage beauty from the Americana AP-563 collage sheet. It is so easy to become inspired with the Collage Sheets from Altered Pages. I used a wooden star as my base - collaged some papers and tapes; embellished with ribbons and other finery; and finished off with a pin back. I'm all ready to go to the parade wearing my stars and stripes.


Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you are inspired to go and alter something. Please visit the Altered Pages website for Collage Sheets, Rubber Stamps, blank items ready to alter, Project kits and more! If you would like to see more of my work Click HERE.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
