AlteredPages Artsociates

Shh...this is my first try at Pocket Pages. Really, it is! Now I am addicted to this super-fun ATC sized art. As you can see there can be an abundance of materials: Paper    Gel Prints    Paintables    Vintage Images and Text    Paint    Ink    Rubber Stamps    Fibers    Flowers    Embellishments    Pocket Page    I tried out some images: Then I really went wild: The Paintables worked well with many mediums: Here is each one individually; #1: #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 Here they are all together again: I sure hope you have enjoyed the floral journey: Ciao for now, -Trish Alger

Hi everyone...Robin here with today's post.  Most of the card for my Pocket Altered Page were straight collages using papers, tapes, embellishments and collage images from Altered Pages  so I'm going to keep my explanations short this time.  There are three I'd like to highlight.    This accordion folds so that there is plenty of room for writing a letter to your pen pal. A scrap of leftover metal sheeting was large enough to cut out this key embellishment.  Dimensional adhesive squares make a great pocket space on the front of this card. Scroll all the way to the bottom to see how these all fit together in my Pocket Altered Page and for a list of products.

1.  As you probably know, Altered Pages is partnering with Pocket Letter Pals this month for a super swap.  (Not sure what Pocket Letter Pals are?  Check out the video in THIS POST by Barbara.) 2.  You are probably also up on the fact that Father's Day is this month--Sunday, June 21.  3.  You probably are NOT aware that, for the last 27 years, I have been the very happy Vice President in Charge of Everything at The Baseball Card Store .  That, my friends, is why I am no stranger to the 9 Pocket Page.  (If you don't know what a 9 Pocket Page is, please see the aforementioned video in #1!)  (And yes, really and truly, that is our only income--we play with sports cards and vintage toys for a living!)
