A Good Read

Do you remember when we used library cards to sign out books in school and the public library?
I was always curios to see who it was that had it before me and how they signed their name.  
We carry these library cards and the pockets. I used some Ranger Distress ink and blender tool to age the papers, twine, washi tape, gem stones, Glitz paper pack, and Sin City Stamps for travel and our fantastic Altered Pages Stamp line .

Happy Creating!

    I like this project. I, too, used to love to see who had the same literary taste as me. :)

 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.
