New York, and some awesome arty finds

Thank you for traveling across the USA with us this month at Altered Pages--I have a super New York collage sheet to show you today, and am sharing some fun Altered Pages inspiration, as well.

First, check out the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty on this collage page. Are you thinking POP UP CARD, too???

There are supplies a plenty to complement any travel themed project, but one of my favorite Altered Pages treasures is the Transit Tokens, which are PERFECT for New York! I have quite a stash of them; here is a pic of one used in the Summer By The Sea book--

These tokens are a special way to add an authentic vintage touch to any project. My favorite way to attach them?

Well, the ones with the spaces in them, like the token above, I use the Lightbulb Safety Pins, or a bit of beautiful Sari Silk Ribbon is always gorgeous.

There are also a couple of stamp sets with some great travel images, both from Glitz--the ferris wheel in the Afternoon Muse Set would be a perfect New York Wheel,

and the Glitz Happy Travels set, the title pretty much says it all!

Happy creating, everyone!

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
