Vintage Blue Pocket Altered Pages

Steph here and welcome to Altered Pocket Pages for the month of June!

Today's post is actually a WIP if you will, but no worries, the final project will be posted tomorrow. So, you will not too long to wait. 

I will be showing you today the process of me gearing up for my pocket project.  Make sure to check back tomorrow to see the final reveal!

This is a big old batch of fun right here.  I have collage sheets, a gorgeous paper pack from Glitz in Vintage Blue, trims and ribbons, buttons, beads and well all kinds of good things!

 
  
 Here I am getting my collage images ready.

You can see I have started to cut my pattern paper into the appropriate size for the pockets.  And, I have fussy cut my collage images.

And, here I am using up some of the left over scraps by using my round paper punches and scalloped paper punch.

One of the things I love about this Vintage Blue paper pack is it has a few patterns that will work in a more masculine way. So, I am setting up a couple of these with a man in mind.  That is the case with the image below.  My base is a very manly pinstripe pattern. It shows that I stamped a "T" thinking it could work as an addition to a masculine "Thank You" or "Thinking of You" card...or maybe a guy named Todd will need a greeting...hey you never know. I stamped the T on a scrap of vintage text paper and then adhered it down with matt medium.

Here is another version of that stamp on a more muted piece of patterned paper.
 
Okay, that is all for now.  As I said above make sure to come back tomorrow to see my final Altered Pocket Page.  I look forward to seeing you again. Thanks for stopping by.
Steph  :-)

 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.
