So you know that Altered Pages is partnering with Leaky Shed Studio during the month of June, but did you know how delightful and detailed their chipboard is?  I made a little book (yes, big surprise, another book), this one full up of vintage bits and tags.
hand lettered/drawn banner, Leaky Shed Birdcage
It's two signatures of an origami wallet fold, stitched together with a cover and vellum flyleaf:

all the tags are from the Altered Arts Ephemera Pack


the tag booklets use my AP faves--lightbulb pins and transit tokens!
The book is constructed of monotype prints, and spritzed with some Dylusions Spray Inks.
Leaky Shed Corner Flourish, all inked up.  :)
Love the Leaky Shed crowns--I coated this one with embossing powder

Here's the thing--there are probably too many photos, so if you'd like to see more of the tags or detail photos, please stop by my blog: easily amused, hard to offend.

Drop in again soon for more flying inspiration with Altered Pages and Leaky Shed Studio.  And don't forget to leave comments this month--every blog post you leave a comment for gives you a chance at some fun giveaway goodies.

      Thanks, Anjuli--I almost always use a vellum flyleaf, I really like how it lets the first page peek through!

 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!
