Hi guys!  I have a fun little altered tin for you today.  I think this just makes the cutest gift and I already have a friend in mind to give this to.  She LOVES Halloween about as much as I do, so I know this will be a hit.  I began using a tin from Altered Pages that you can find here.   I added vintage text paper, a fun pumpkin collage and some ribbon and twin to cover the tin.  I really love the Gothic Lace Stickers  that you can see here at the top and bottom of the tin.  They are a wonderful textural element and so easy to use.   Next, I added vintage black cat images to bottle caps using Crystal Lacquer.   You can find all sorts of wonderful Halloween images here.  The Crystal Lacquer was used under the image to adhere it to the bottle cap and again on top to create a resin type look over the top of the image.  Crystal Lacquer is self leveling so that makes it great for this application and it doesn'...

I made a pendant for a  friend, and decided to alter a gift box to go with it. This particular friend is blind, so I used paints, and then little jewels to spell her name in braille.  (Have you ever tried to read braille?  It's hard!) Here's the pendant--I'm going to add a ribbon: love Nothing fancy, just a little something fun! I used paints for the box, but not inks and stamps ?  Or even a little all-over collage, with occasion appropriate images?   Speaking of occasion appropriate images from Altered Pages, I also like to alter little jewelry boxes into Christmas ornaments, like this one: instructions here. Thank you for stopping by today;  there will be more altered boxes all this month at Altered Pages!  If you've missed some posts, you might want to scroll through and see all the wonderful ideas from the Design Team this month. Happy Thursday to you, :)trisha

Wish your gift of organic, artisan wine could be presented with more than a cute bow? AlteredPages.com has the answer. (Of course this is not limited to wine; think bubble bath, DIY vinegar, local olive oil, etc...) Way better, correct?! So easy peasy and mistake-proof, r eally! Here is what you need to order: Paper Mache Tall Box    Dixie Belle Chalk Paints and Glazes    Leaves Stencil    Ribbon   Embellishments     Paper mache loves chalk paint! First, I used the leaf stencil and the Mud Puddle paint. Then I covered most of the box in Buttercream paint with a chip brush, dry brushing thin coats and wiping off as needed. Next I used a soft cloth and rubbed in more Mud Puddle in places. Nice, but I needed to add this season's big metallic--GOLD! The Gold Glaze was rubbed all over the entire box and lid. I let it set a moment while I opened the Grunge Glaze and used the cloth to add a thin laye...
