Do you like to make collage art?  You need to check out the thousands of images for collaging at Altered Pages !  I love the collages .  No matter what your style, there is a collage sheet for you just waiting to be made into art.  I have a box full of single images, which are the pictures leftover from other projects.  I grabbed my box and started mixing and matching and adding in some German Scrap and other embellishments.  Backed with some of my stash of scrapbook paper and a stamp or two and these are the results.  I hope you like them.

Hello everyone!  Barbara here with another project to share with you using KUNZE German Scrap and, of course,  Altered Pages  products.  This month, we are featuring "stuff" you get in your  Mailbox Muse Kits   and because there is so much inside each kit, you will have plenty of things to make with one single kit. I really love making tags, but sometimes I get heavy with my dimensional additions.  So, I decided to cut a piece of heavy chipboard into the shape of a tag, which will hopefully be sturdy enough to hold my embellishments. Directions: Cut chipboard to 5" x 8".  Trim top corners at an angle and punch a large hole in the center. Use gel medium to adhere two torn pieces of the  large sheet music  to the tag, as shown. Tear away the excess paper.  Add a strip of drywall mesh tape diagonally across tag, as shown. Add a coat of white gesso over tag. Brush  Art Anthology  Orchid Velvet dimensional p...

Hi everyone!  Robin here and I wanted to share a card that I've been working on for quite some time.  Last summer I started this project by taking a beautiful mermaid image from the Mailbox Muse collage sheet and blending it into a larger background with distress paints and a background stamp.  When that was done, I thought, "Now what?"  I didn't have an answer so I put it into the box on my desk for art-in-progress.  I take it out every once in a while and try different things, but now I've finally finished it.    I had the perfect stamp to finish this all along and it came in the same kit as the image!  The Mermaid Fantasy Mailbox Muse kit has a great set of stamps including an one of seaweed.  I masked off a border at the bottom and stamped a row of seaweed in permanent black ink .  I stamped the seaweed again on the envelope along with the adorable seashell from the same stamp set. I wanted the seaweed to stay in the ...
