Remembering Those Who Serve Our Country!

At Altered Pages we are

THANKFUL

for all

those that have served

and

those who continue to serve

this great country of ours. 

 

"Nor shall their story be forgot

While Fame her record keeps."

In honor of our service members I have created a brown paper bag book with Altered Pages vintage images of those who have served through the years. 

 Gather supplies, listed below.

Using patriotic papers cover the pages of the book adhere with glue stick.

 Create pull out tabs for the bags with opens.

From the Altered Pages collage sheets cut images and words and  arrange until satisfied.  The images on this page are from the Altered Pages Salute to Our Veterans collage sheet.

 

Add embellishments Glassine Envelope and Bazzill Edge Cardstock Strips  to the pages. Altered Pages images from Vets Protecting Proudly and World War II collage sheets.

 

Cut  inserts with a tab slightly smaller than the bag page, leaving room at the closed end for the ribbon holes.  The inserts could be used for private messages to a vet you would like to present your book to! 

 

 Mat all images with red or blue cardstock for a finished look. Images from the Altered Pages Salute to Our Veterans collage sheet.



Cut individual words from sentiments and mat them to make them stand out! All images from Altered Pages Vets Protecting Proudly collage sheet

 Add embellishments: pre-printed banners and buttons.  Images Altered Pages World War II, Vintage Soldiers and Americana - Land of the Free collage sheets.
