Hi everyone! It's me Tonya and I am here to share my Pocket Letter which is my very first one I created. I used a variety of printables, Graphic 45 and Glitz cardstock to create this fun page. I love the saying from the  Pocket Quotes 2365 . I dolled them up with bits of cardstock and butterfly punches. I also used the following printables:  Tinted Babies ,  Tea Party Flowers  and  Fairy Wings . There was a lot of fussy cutting but in the end I think everything turned out adorable. I also inked edges of the cards, printed the fly, cherish and inspire sentiments from the computer and added sequins and flat back pearls to finish off the cards. After looking at my page I decided it still needed something else so I added a banner. I punched tiny holes on either side of the Pocket Letter sleeve and threaded the twine in the holes and tied off. Since this is for the Pocket Letter Pals and Altered Pages Swap I have contacted my ...

Hi everyone! Are you ready for Christmas? Me? No! Every year I say I'm going to be ahead of the game so I can enjoy the season but you know how it goes it just gets crazy busy and before you know it Christmas is here. Sigh… Well, I want to share two quick projects I created using this month's cosponsor's  Just For Fun Rubber Stamps . Lets get started. I started with a Christmas card envelope that I messed up. Instead of throwing it away I decided I wanted to use it as a pocket for a journal…the flap is actually on the end of the envelope which will make it easy to put memorabilia in it.  I stamped  The Holiday Wish  image onto a piece of cardstock from the  Joyeux Noel Paper Collection . Also from the same collection I cut various sizes of cardstock for the front of the envelope. The piece of cardstock that has writing on it is actually from packaging that had charms on it. I thought it would add the perfect touch to the envelope. ...

Hi everyone! It's me, Tonya and I'm here to share a tag I created for Smeared and Smudged 31 Days of Halloween.  Also Art Anthology is this month's partner with Altered Pages which I am pretty excited about. 31 Days of Halloween - DAY 2 I want to share my tag I created. I started off with a #10 tag for my base, adhered with a gel medium some of the orange cardstock that was in my Mailbox Muse kit, let dry and then added a wash of orange, brown and black acrylic paint. I used a blow dryer to speed up the drying process. I fussy cut one of the  Creepy People out along with a set of bug wings and adhered to the tag along with a black diecut and leftover scraps (which one piece I cut to make a hat) from the Mailbox Muse kit. I outlined the creepy person with a sharpie and added Stickles to the wings. Also added a couple of vintage text page strips that I had leftover from another project. Next I added black paint around the edges an...

Hi everyone! It's me,  Tonya , and I'm here to share an art journal page I created using a junk mail envelope as a base for my page. I used some of the awesome collage images that are on the  AlteredPages  site along with some of their other great products which I have listed below. Also we are cross promoting   Leaky Shed's   assortment of chipboard dies this month too. I started out with a business size (#10) envelope as my base for my page. I had a ton of left over scraps from mini banners I had cut out.  I hated to throw away all of those cool wavy scraps, so I decided to use them on my page. I started by applying decoupage medium to the page and then covering it with the leftover scraps. Once I got it the way I wanted it I applied more  decoupage medium  over the top of the scraps to seal it so to speak. Once dry, I used a number stamp down the side of the page. Then I used an empty toilet roll and coke lid d...

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...
