Happy July 4th!

I originally planned to post some cards I made with the new Graphic 45 line I ordered from Altered Pages -Bohemian Bazaar. But then I realized I would be posting on Independence Day! I decided to post something more patriotic today and save my Bohemian Bazaar cards for my next post (make sure you stop by again in 2 weeks.) I hope you have a wonderful 4th of July!

To make this decoration I used a piece of burlap fabric over a piece of plain chipboard cut in the shape of a banner. I also used the following Altered Pages products:

1. Collage Sheet  Dans La Mer

2. Glitz Designs Patterned Card stock 6 x 6 Pad  (Yours Truly)

3. Vintage Text Pages

4. Tag Alphabets

 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.
