Altered Pages is delighted to share the art of  BECKY VOTH! I am so pleased to have Becky as our Feature Artist.   She has always been very creative, it runs in the family with her Sister and Mom!   I saw her grow to become a fabulous canvas artist through her diligent practice and taking many classes.  I knew she would move on and that made me a bit sad, but her talents have to be shared and grow even more!   She remains a friend and I will always support her artful endeavors!   Proud to have made the connection, Becky!   We still have her kits on our website and they continue to sell to people who like Becky's creative process.  ~ Jean    Hello All! I am super excited to be a Feature Artist on Altered Pages today!

Hi, Jean here on a blogging Sunday.   Yesterday was very unusual in AZ, it was a bit cloudy, sprinkled and stayed below 80 degrees!    HEAVENLY. ON to my Blog project.   I trust Karen Elaine from Yasutomo (Japan) and when she recommended Nori Paste , I said, that's good enough for me!   Karen is the artist behind Splash Inks, one of the BEST inks you can use for everything! I tested Nori Paste on my Final project with our Unruly PaperArts blog partner.   The theme as you know by now, is Teacups and Tiaras. I had a stash of small Chinese Take-out boxes from the Dollar Store and decided to use them for a Tea Bag Gift box. I first took the box apart so I could cover the white inside surface with some decor tissue I also had in my stash.   This way the inside is colored and lovely with my theme on the outside surface. I applied the tissue to the opened box with Nori Paste and it was a dream! Nori Paste is totally nontoxic, even safe for kids...

It’s Friday!!   Hurrah!   Robin here and I’m happy to be back with another project here on the Altered Pages blog.   We are continuing our month-long partnership with Unruly PaperArts and Leaky Shed Studio products.   I have an origami project to share with you today.   I recently purchased a disk from HSN during Craft Month (a.k.a. March) and it has a wide variety of projects on it.   I love this little triangle box.   In keeping with the theme this month, it’s the perfect size to hold a tea bag and a little treat.   Sometimes origami can be a little complicated for me, but I was able to get this one right the first try and it only took a few minutes.   You need one sheet of 12x12 scrapbook paper.   It can be single or double sided.   I chose a two-sided pattern because I liked the thought of having a pretty inside to the box.   You don’t want card stock for the box part of this project because it will make the fol...
