We are kicking off this month with a new Partner, Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts, you will find them here at ALTERED PAGES !!     This has got to be one of my favorite photos of my sister brother and me!  The expression on our faces are just too cute.  I can imagine what I was saying or what my brother was thinking!  During this month I plan to share some of my tips, tricks and ideas when I scrapbook on pages 6x6... this size book would make a sweet gift for a mother, father, grandmother, aunt, sister and even a friend.     When I work with smaller size pages I usually use wallet size pictures if I am getting them printed.  If I am printing them at home I try to keep them 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 or smaller. For this page I took three sections of the main photo and blew them up.  I call these "focus shots".... the hand holding, feet and the little purse!

Hi everyone! It's me,  Tonya . I don't know about you but I do love the beach and I sure do love Folly Beach which is in Charleston, South Carolina. The hubby and I love Folly Beach so much we were married there a couple of years ago. It was the most perfect sunny day in March, out of a not so warm and perfect week of cold, icky and bad weather. But hey...I got my wish of being able to stand barefoot on the beach with the man I love and say our I does. :-)    I would like to share a page of a recent trip we took. I used the  AP 211 State of South Carolina  printable and a piece of cardstock that I cut down to 5 5/8"x7 5/8" from the  Glitz Uncharted Waters Paper Pad  from  Altered Pages . The page was very easy to put together. I used ephemera I had picked up from the hotel and trips into Charleston. I have a Instax printer that I took along on the trip and was able to print photos that I took with my phone. I added a map of the area th...

Hi everyone! It's me,  Tonya .  It is hard to believe that fall and cooler weather is right around the corner but I am here to share some rolodex cards using some Halloween and Fall printables  with Marie Antoinette thrown in for fun and some leftover cardstock from previous Mailbox Muse kits. Everything that was used to create these rolodex cards are listed below in the supply list. For the first rolodex card I fussy cut one of the Marie Antoinette, jack-o-lantern and butterfly wings. I adhered the butterfly wings to the back of Marie and then glued the jack-o-lantern in Marie's hand. I added black thread to the back before I adhered to the card. For the rolodex card I used a diecut and leftover cardstock from a few of my Mailbox Muse kits.You can also use rolodex cards that you can buy at your local office supply place and alter with cardstock. I also added a little St...

Hi everyone! It's me  Tonya  and since Easter is right around the corner I wanted to share a card I created using the past  Mailbox Muse Magical Gypsy Bazaar Kit  and  Kunze German Scraps . I have never had the opportunity to use the German foil before but let me say this I love it! I started by cutting and folding an embossed piece of green polka dot Bazzill cardstock to create a 5" x 5 1/2" cardbase.  Ink the edges of the 4 3/4" x 4 3/4" light green polka dot cardstock and adhere off center of the base along with the german foil white medallion. I cut a 1 3/4" x  5 1/2" stripe of patterned cardstock and center and adhere along with the an pink piece of cardstock cut slightly larger than the gold german foil and adhere to the top of the card base. I fussy cut the bunny from the  Fresh Springtime printable , added a little  Star Dust Stickles  to the egg and adhered to the card along with the sentiment tha...

I was really worried about this post. I am not organized in any way. I try but ….. Well two days ago I started a challenge to become more organized. I need to so that I can move in my studio, LOL! So I decided to make something that would actually help me corral some of my stuff. I am happy that it worked. For my project I used a number of products from Alteredpages . I used Delicata and Staz-on ink pads. Various stamps (love the rubber stamps) which I pounced parts of all over the place. I used some tulle that I had received from a mailbox muse kit. It was the winter 2015 – Baby Baby Baby kit.  I love it. I hope you have fun watching my video. I hope also that you will give repurposing or recycling a try…see you next month, debi
