AlteredPages Artsociates

Hi everyone! It's me  Tonya ! First off let me tell you I'm super excited to be a part of Altered Pages/Mailbox Muse design team. The thought of having hundreds of vintage images to create with simply makes me giddy. :-)   I want to share my first project I created using inks and markers from this month's partner,  IMAGE Crafts   and products from  Altered Pages .  If any of you know anything about me you know I love to alter things and use stuff that would normally be thrown away in a lot of my projects.  I started out with the empty packaging from one of those XLG Sizzix die cuts  and cut it down so I could run it through the diecut machine to cut the page out. Next, I embossed both ends with a small Polk a dot embossing folder. Then I inked the embossed surface and some of the edges with the following Emerald City, Blue Hawaii and Gothic Purple StazOn Inks.  Once the ink dried I dug into my own stash of scraps of paper...

Glue books are a lot of fun to create!  The Arched Door Blank Board Book  at Altered Pages is be a perfect book to make one! I am creating a book that is some where between a glue book and a lot of mini collages.    The Arched Door Blank Board Book  is the base for my "Fashionable Femmes" book.  During May I will be sharing it as I create pages in it! First, ink the edges of the book with Tsukineko StazOn Midi Spiced Chai.  Cut the pattern paper to fit the front of the book and ink edges. Adhere pattern paper to the book.  Using the inkjet, print the Altered Pages Collage Sheet  ATC Decorative Boarders  and Architecture on Craft Attitude™ printable film. Layer one of the   ATC Decorative Boarders  over the image of woman from  Color Pink ATC's sing glue stick on the printed side of the film. Cut the column for the Archticture collage sheet.  Attach images to book cover...
