In the late 1800's "Women's hats were decorated with wings, breasts and whole birds. According to Harper's Bazaar , in 1875 the merle, or blackbird, was a favorite, and especially the merle bronzé, a Brazilian blackbird, which was not black, but had blue and bronze shades on its wings and back." - Source Victoriana.com No birds were harmed to create this hat!!!  The tag is created with two  Altered Pages  Collage Sheets:  Bits of Paris  and  Colorful Birds .

My mother would tell us not to pick the flowers in the garden as they were home to fairies.  We had one of the most beautiful gardens in the neighborhood! Cut card stock and Glitz background paper to size. Use chocolate ink to distress edges of Glitz paper.  Adhere ribbon to the Glitz sheet and layer on the ivory card stock Fussy cut the roses from a second sheet of the background paper and fussy cut fairy. Adhere wings, fairy and layer roses on the card.  Add a gem to the flower on the fairies head.

It is time to make some  old fashioned Victorian Valentines! Give a special someone in your life a handmade Valentine! With lace, paper doilies, glitter and a sweet image. Did you know,  Valentine's Day reached its height of celebration during the Victorian Era?  Or that some Valentines were so thick with layers of paper and embellishments they were given in presentation boxes.   The image for this Valentine is from the Victorian Valentine collage sheet. It was first adhered to a thin piece of chipboard  (about the thickness of a cereal box) and then  fussy cut.  Also cut a heart from the chipboard slightly smaller than the largest doily.  Adhere the large  doily to the chipboard, glue lace around the backside edge of the chipboard. Add lace around the backside of the smaller heart.  Attach smaller heart to the larger heart. Use a black marker and carefully edge the fussy cut images.   Attach  la...

Thank you Jean for inviting me to be a member of this awesome Design Team!  I love collage and am excited to work with the wonderful products Altered Pages has to offer. My inspiration was the beautiful image of the lady above, found on this  P aris Collage Sheet !! This collage is created on a Manila Tag . First, paint a light blue wash with   Pearlescent Watercolors . Once it was dry use a brown ink  and stamp swirls, then ink the edges of the tag and image and ink a vintage white paper doily and white lace.  With a fine pen write "Let me read your palm" on the image. Adhere the doily, lace and image. From my personal stash I added the feather, chipboard palm, heart rhinestone and feather  with Sakura Crystal Lacquer . Complete it with the finishing touches a bit of ribbon and glitter!

We are excited to announce our very first Alter Your Creativity Challenge at Altered Pages. On Every Second Monday of the Month we plan to bring you a new Challenge to encourage you to step a little out of your comfort zone and Alter your Creativity.  Each Challenge will run until the last day of the Month and the Design Team will vote to pick an overall Winner and a Top 3. Last month Jean set the Design Team a Challenge to design a headdress.  She offered the following images to the team as inspiration.         To put it simply a headdress/headpiece is any item of clothing that adorns the head, it might be a crown, a helmet or simply a scarf embellished with jewels or feathers.  The only limit I guess as they say is your imagination. The Design Team have excelled themselves for this challenge and will inspire you to play along with this month's challenge theme which is to Design a Headdress, we also want you to vote for your favorite ...
