Who doesn't love huge colorful flowers? Well, let's make some! Gather up a bunch of patterned papers...card stock works best, but by all means, add in some  Vintage Music Sheets  or other papers that you love.  This is a great way to use up scraps because the largest piece of paper I am using here is 6x6 so size does not matter.  You can do 8x8 or even 12 x 12!  As long as you have a perfect square you are all set.  This is great to work on when you feel like creating something, but you are not sure what.  Just grab pretty papers and start cutting petal shapes.  You can store them in a baggie or envelope and they will be ready to go when the mood strikes.  You can make a ton of these little guys while binging your fav Netflix.  This pic below represents a very small number of petals that I have cut recently...there are many more behind the scenes.  ;-)  To get the flower shape you will take your square of paper and...

Hi There!  For the month of July we are incorporating Lost Coast Stamps into our projects here at Altered Pages  and today I thought I would do a little something different.  I am showcasing the same stamp set in two seperate projects.  One is a somewhat of a quickie tag with lots of layers.   The other a bit more involved still using the same stamp set.   And, the stamp set can be found here... More Bugz.    My first project, a gift bag with an extra pocket for a gift card, started with this cute little  Diy French Fry box kit.   There are three each of two designs in each kit along with embellishments.  I did not use the enclosed embellishments, but instead opted for pretty paper flowers from  this adorable argyle ocean floral pack.           So, stamping, adding pops of color with aqua  acrylic paint , adhereing my flowers and gift card pocket  and then the c...

Hi there!   Thanks for stopping by today.  I have for you today part 2 to a post from a couple weeks ago (you can see part 1  here  ).   If you follow the blog you might remember that I created a cute double sided cupcake and promised you that I would give her a perfect little "Home."   Well, here is the finished project.  Here is how part 2 started out.  I began with the word HOME made from pine and perfectly cut out by Foundations Decor.  I then added a pale blue and white acrylic paint wash to all of the letters.  Next, I added layers consisting of vintage text, fun papers, a large stamp and a pretty little star collage image.  Then, came a bit more embellising with acrylic paint in white and black for some pop around the edges and a vintage key.  Get it, the key to your home... And, a little bit more embellishing... And, here you have the finished piece, but wait there is more... Remember t...
