Welcome to Part 2 of me having a blast playing around with The Mailbox Muse Stamps and the Metallic Lux kit from  Altered Pages. I started this a couple weeks ago with a tag/board book kit that was part of the Metallic Lux kit from Faber Castell that Altered Pages now carries.  As I mentioned in my part 1 post this kit is loaded with great things.  In that post I created the front cover of this tag book.  Here I will finish it off with the other three pages. In the picture below I have laid out the first page created in part 1 of this phase and all of the main supplies that were included the Lux kit from Faber Castell.  I ended up not using that bright white tag on the far right side.  I just wasn't sure how I wanted to embellish it without losing the great design that comes already printed on it.  So, that will be saved for another day.  Inside cover, page 1... I covered the entire page with Orien...

Hi and Happy Friday! This month the Altered Pages Design Team is creating projects using stamps from all of the amazing Malibox Muse Kits from over the years.  This should be a lot of fun seeing what everyone comes up with...no theme, no prompts, just beautiful deeply etched red rubber stamps as our Muse! For my project I am using the  Alphapalooza stamp.   I am also using a new product at Altered Pages,  the Gelatos Metalic Lux set.   There are a number of new Gelato sets to choose from.  They all look amazing and they come with so many goodies.  The set that I chose has metallic Gelatos, Texture Lux in four colors, stencils, metallic printed paper (I am using one here), canvas paper, cork paper, palette paper, palette knife - I mean you get the idea.  It even includes an idea guide with step by step instructions for some techniques.   Now, for the details. Here is the beginnin...
