"You say I am a witch like it is a bad thing" Altered Pages Design Team members are having a great time partnering with  SinCity Stamps  and their Design Team this month!!! I hope you have been inpired by all the great projects this month! Today I am working with the Window  Chipboard Shrine designed by Barbara Rankin .  This was a really fun project. To start, I used my bone folder and created a score-line where I wanted to fold the shrine. Then I inked all the edges, including the fold creases and back. In this post if I mention stamping, everything is stamped with black  ink.        Cover the three panels with pattern cardstock. Before adhering... stamp images on the pattern paper, center panel has the  Winged Skeleton  stamped and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.

I've been creating layouts in a small art journal I stitched up a while back, and have a Halloween-ish one to share with you today: Alas, poor Yorick!  I knew him, Horatio . . . Okay, maybe it's more literary-ish than Halloween-ish, but that Sin City skull stamp immediately brought Hamlet to mind, and hey, that  is a pretty creepy story . . . an Altered Pages Shakespeare image, some spritzy black Dylusions , a black jewel , and crayons pretty much do it for this layout. Want to see a couple more layouts from The Flower Fairy Alphabetica ?  I've been adding to it bit by bit: Thank you for stopping by, and Happy Thursday! :)trisha

Hi Everyone, it's Danie here today bringing you my Halloween Project as  Altered Pages  team up with Sin City Stamps .  Here in Australia Halloween isn't a widely celebrated event, it has only become more popular in recent syears with all the youngsters wanting their share of the treats.  So creating something spooky really isn't my thing. I was a little bit stumped at how I should proceed with this and upon viewing the chipboard pieces that arrived from Sin City Stamps , I immediately was thinking of some sort of shrine but it sort of evolved from there. Altered Pages Supplies :- Steampunk Spells collection from G45 , Gelatos , Black Ink , Kraft Bingo Number , Black Cardstock. Sin City Stamps Supplies :- Shrine Chipboard Frame #3 , Grave Stamp . I created a cardboard box like base and turned my shrine into a Spooky Luminary.  My shrine made from the chipboard from Sin City Stamps , I firstly colored all my chipboard pieces with a combin...

Hello everyone, and welcome back to the second half of our monthly partnership with Sin City Stamps .  For the remainder of the month, both design teams will be creating Halloween themed projects using products from both Sin City Stamps and Altered Pages .  So if you love Halloween, like I do, you won't want to miss all the inspiration from both design teams. For my project today, I went a little crazy.  I decided to make a mini album out of this cool chipboard shrine from Sin City Stamps. Here are a few pictures of my finished book, front and back. I took a gazillion photos and because it is a book, there were lots of directions.  So I decided to, hopefully, make it easier for you to read by using Snapguide.  I hope you enjoy my tutorial and pictures of each page.

Do you remember that saying?   With today's fast paced life, it seems there are no more lazy days!    We are wired in 24/7 with our phones, ipads and computers with little time to take it easy!   It's hard to "turn off" anymore.    I can clearly remember one August day, I must have been somewhere close to 11 years old.   It was one of those days when there was nothing to do, no one to play with and plain old LAZY.   I was never one to take naps, I was always on the run with friends playing jump rope, hopscotch, stickball, Barbie dolls or other kid things.   But this day was unusually quiet and I found myself in my bedroom, Mom had pulled down the shades (yes, roller blinds which only some will remember) and I DID IT.   I fell asleep in the middle of the day!! I remember the breeze gently blowing through the open windows behind the blinds, making a little whooshing sound that was comforting.   I woke up feeling so wonderful...

Happy Friday, Artsociates!  I recently went on my annual craft getaway weekend with my cousin.  We go to a scrapbooking lodge every year to enjoy non-stop crafting and pampering.  We had a lot of fun!!  I had a couple of projects marked as have-to-dos and I am proud to say they were both done by Saturday afternoon!  Then it was time to play.  I got out some pre-cut ATC (Artist Trading Card) chipboard and stamps from both Altered Pages and Sin City Stamps.  The two companies are partnered in August and my second project this month is Halloween themed!  Today I am sharing the six ATCs I made with these stamps. Two stamp sets from Altered Pages and a few stamps from Sin City were used to create the designs above.  Most of these are masked, with the exception of the winged gargoyle.  In that case, this head and body were stamped on a piece of card stock, trimmed and glued on.  I have provided a list at the b...
