Wine for Dinner Pocket Letter™

Hello Altered Pages fans!  Barbara here, and we have some fun in store for you this month.  We are partnering with Jannette Lane, who started Pocket Letters™.  Altered Pages is sponsoring a Pocket Altered Page swap as well. You can find all the details about the swap, as well as a brief video tutorial about this fun new letter form,  at the end of this post . Here is my version of a Pocket Altered Page. I left this fairly flat, (no dimension) which is so unlike me, but if you want to mail it, it might be wise to do so.  Folded up, this will fit into a #10 envelope.     These pockets will hold paper that measures 2-1/2" x 3-1/2", just like an ATC or sports trading card. I first used the cream Paper ATC Cardstock Pack as my base for each of my little pocket treasures. Next, I printed my digital images and cut them to ATC size. Some images were fussy cut and adhered to the base images. I distressed the edges of all papers...

Jean's Post Sunday May 31

Final day for MD Hobby & Craft metal projects at AlteredPages. I'm sure our Team will continue working with the Fabulous MD products in the future.    We sure hope you have enjoyed seeing all the diverse projects made with metal.   Who knew? My project for today is a perpetual occasion calendar made from the 12 x 12 metal (magnetic) sheet from MD Hobby and Craft.   First I wiped the metal with windex and allowed it to dry just to remove any residue or oily finger prints.    I then chose a neutral 12 x 12  paper.    I chose not to glue the paper down, because you can create different designs for each month!   Use the magnets themselves to hold the paper to the board! OR use s pray glue to attach the paper to the metal. The metal allows for approximately 1/2 inch  border on both sides with 7 spaces each 1 9/16 inch wide to accommodate each week.   The height can be larger since you ...
