Hi everyone!  I recently went to a customer garage sale at my local scrapbook store and got a box stencil for a quarter!  How cool is that?  And how perfect to go with my latest Mailbox Muse kit , Baby Baby Baby .  I cut out the box from dark pink cardstock and glued the collage images at random.  When the box was glued together I added  sheer ribbon bow with ribbon from Altered Pages and some lovely daisies cut from a scrap of ribbon in my bin.  I also made a matching card to go with.           Mailbox Muse Baby Baby Baby collage sheet Sheer yellow ribbon Double-sided Adhesive Tacky Glue   Do you use baby wipes for clean up when you work?  I do.  And I like to buy the big bulk package because it's more cost effective!  But I don't need the ugly label on the box.  So I took these flower stickers that I found at a dollar store and decorated the containe...

What do you do with your leftover Gellis?  I always have a pile of leftover prints, and keep them around for using in whatever??  Today in the art room I found an abandoned, partially finished origami wallet fold book made from a double sided Gelli print.  It needed a cover and a purpose, so it's now full of atcs created from random bits from my collage notebooks (more on those later) . Look at all those leftover Gelli prints --they WANT to be something!   The origami wallet fold book has four pockets, each containing an atc made with more Gelli leftovers, Altered Pages images, and rub-on sentiments. Now for my organization tip. Here's the thing--we have a baseball card store.  Okay, so we sell all kinds of sports cards and memorabilia, but the point is, I have an in with the fella that runs the joint, and he keeps me supplied in all sorts of plastic pages, the kind that fit in a three-ring binder.  The nine-pocket pages are perfect for...

Today on the Altered Pages Blog Linda Chaves shares some of her AMAZING ART!!!     If you missed the post yesterday read Linda's bio HERE !      Sunset over the Western Ghats, India   This was done on A4 Yupo paper, using Indian ink and fluid acrylics with a lot of texture work and a little collage. The script is in Malayalam, the language of Kerala, which I am trying to learn as I spend a month there every year. This was a spectacular sunset, the light turning from bright gold to lilac and purple, forming deep shadows over the tea plantation. Writing done with a metal tipped bottle and white acrylic ink. Wisdom Canvas, 40 x 30 cm using acrylics, fluid acrylics, charcoal, Pitt pen and oil pastel. There is quite a lot of collage in the initial layers, which I then worked over with colour and more texture. Inspired by the many Hindu festivals I have attended in Kerala, where the elephants are the stars!   ...
