More Gearing Up for Fall

Hi again and thanks for stopping by.   Todays post is going to be short and sweet as it really doesn't need much more than pictures, which is more fun to look at than a lot of text...right...Right!

WIN THIS FINISHED PROJECT - SIMPLY POST ON YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE #ALTEREDPAGES TO BE ENTERED INTO A RANDOM DRAWING AT THE END OF THE MONTH.  

So, here is a bit more of me gearing up for Halloween, probably my favorite holiday, for decorating anyway.  I have made a Halloween Greetings Platter.  I think it will look fabulous in my formal room to greet guests as they walk in.

I started with a Dollar Store faux silver platter and added layers with paper, stamps and bling.

  2. Awesome! I never would have guessed that was a tray and not a frame. I am definitely going to "borrow" this idea for a project. TFS

 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.
