Shoes can be comfortable,  your favorite chair is like a refuge.   Some Art supplies can be the same sort of thing.   The items at the heart of  AlteredPages are collages.  They still hold a wealth of use for art and craft projects. Collage #288 is perfect for cards, nametags & ATCs. Here is a canvas I made that uses one of my favorite collage images. This mixed media piece used our collage #3091 . This example shows that collages can be incorporated into more than cards or scrapbooks.   Modeling paste, paints, vintage music sheets and a stencil round out the creation. Join us as we show you more of the true spooky art contained in Alteredpages.com .

It's time to prepare for Fall happenings. We will be showcasing our team's art and our products for making ominous, bone-chilling, creepy , spine-tingling and yes, even cute projects!!! Look at the store for new collages to make your cards or scrapbooks even more exciting. Here are projects we've also gathered from AP fans... from Andrea Warner - from Michelle Jones - from Julie Mitchell from Michelle from Sharon Rogers AND FROM OUR TEAM,  old and new... from Robin Horasanian from Stephanie Siatta from Danie May from Lyneen Jesse from Trisha Neal from Roni Johnson from Trish Alger Glad you stopped by,  now be prepared to get CHILLS!

The versatility of collages used for art and crafts is extensive. I created a book and will use collages  for the interior pages...the construction was heavy chipboard and kraft paper, plus decor papers. We also have corrugated Kraft Paper, also in white corrugated adhesive backed for beautiful book covers or interiors. For closures, I used our fabulous seam binding attached with  Super Adhesive Tape . For a fun touch - since this is a book for old time photos I used clock charms to hold the seam binding on the front. The tied seam binding neatly holds the waterfall pages in place.  I will use alternating old sepia and black and white photos with interesting collages for the finished Book.

Collages can help create so many things. Above you see a banner that spells out WINE plus some lovely collage images as the finishing touches. ATC's are the perfect collage  partner!  For these I used mini cupcake papers, washi tape plus papers. ATC rounds are a fun new way to trade.     TEXT pages make the perfect base for collages. Collage images can become dimensional too! PLEASE visit and review our thousands of collages to find the inspiration for YOUR mixed media pieces. www.AlteredPages.com See ya! Jean

Who doesn't love huge colorful flowers? Well, let's make some! Gather up a bunch of patterned papers...card stock works best, but by all means, add in some  Vintage Music Sheets  or other papers that you love.  This is a great way to use up scraps because the largest piece of paper I am using here is 6x6 so size does not matter.  You can do 8x8 or even 12 x 12!  As long as you have a perfect square you are all set.  This is great to work on when you feel like creating something, but you are not sure what.  Just grab pretty papers and start cutting petal shapes.  You can store them in a baggie or envelope and they will be ready to go when the mood strikes.  You can make a ton of these little guys while binging your fav Netflix.  This pic below represents a very small number of petals that I have cut recently...there are many more behind the scenes.  ;-)  To get the flower shape you will take your square of paper and...
