Hi everyone ! Eunice here , just wanted to share a little project I completed using the little Shadow Box  from Altered Pages ! I enjoy creating little "scenes" & these little boxes are perfect for that ! I covered the inside & outside of the box using Glitz paper ( adorable line ) ! Has that worn vintage look ! I had three little wood spools that needed a home , so I created ever so tiny flowers from sheet music paper and used vintage buttons for the centers , all on a wire and glued into the spool , there you go ...instant garden ! Made a little banner out of paper and stamped the word "BLOOM" on it and of course glittered the edges for some sparkle ! I added some vintage buttons and seam binding to the front On the side of the box I used some tape to add some interest ! There you go , a quick little project to create ! I hope you will enjoy working with these little boxes as much as I do ! With Valentines Day coming you could create a sweet little ...

Do you know what a " SILLY STICK " is? No, it's not something you "beat yourself SILLY " with!! It's this great, (and I mean GREAT !) little stick available at Altered Pages made just for the mixed media artist! Hi all! Becky here today to share this great tool I used on a collage I finished this week...It worked so much better than a brayer to get my papers nice & smooth onto the "canvas"!! I loved that it squished the excess glue out the edges for easy wiping! But apparently you can use it for all sorts of things, like spreading paint & making texture in your paint! A very handy tool indeed!!! Anyway...on to the collage I made with this lovely image from the " Young Lovers I " collage sheet. "How Do I Love Thee" I used a 12x12 panel board "canvas" to collage various papers (most from my stash, but a couple from the Glitz collections), paint, modeling paste (for texture), & ink. Collaging is a lot ...

This is the cover of a little mini I made using the Valentine images. It is a paper bag book with lots of places to add photos and journal tags in the pockets.
