When the temps hit the mid-teens, we take it slow and easy!   It seems we are not the only ones with that heat lately. Grab some travel collages for your city, state or vacation destination. Enjoy your slow Sunday, relax! Jean and the Gang

Hi everyone! It's me,  Tonya . I don't know about you but I do love the beach and I sure do love Folly Beach which is in Charleston, South Carolina. The hubby and I love Folly Beach so much we were married there a couple of years ago. It was the most perfect sunny day in March, out of a not so warm and perfect week of cold, icky and bad weather. But hey...I got my wish of being able to stand barefoot on the beach with the man I love and say our I does. :-)    I would like to share a page of a recent trip we took. I used the  AP 211 State of South Carolina  printable and a piece of cardstock that I cut down to 5 5/8"x7 5/8" from the  Glitz Uncharted Waters Paper Pad  from  Altered Pages . The page was very easy to put together. I used ephemera I had picked up from the hotel and trips into Charleston. I have a Instax printer that I took along on the trip and was able to print photos that I took with my phone. I added a map of the area th...

Hello! I'm Betsy Skagen of Paper Calliope and I'm thrilled to be joining the Altered Pages Design Team. Just before I joined the team, my family embarked on a quintessential American roadtrip traveling across Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and South Dakota. We saw some of the United States' most beautiful landscapes and national parks including Glacier National Park; Yellowstone; the Grand Tetons; the Badlands of North and South Dakota; and Mount Rushmore before returning to Minnesota, the beautiful land of 10,000 lakes. Since we are never ones to do things the easy way, we squeezed into two adults, two teens, a 12-week-old Golden Retriever puppy and a 90-pound bluetick coonhound (who did not want to be in the same state, let alone the same car, as the puppy). What's more, at least three of the occupants have ADHD, which could make managing the puppy's behavior seem like a walk in the (dog) park. Crazy? Maybe. Would I do it agai...

Hi all! Becky here today to share a glimpse of how I used the " At the Beach " kit I designed for Altered Pages in July... This kit comes with tons of collage sheet images, a great Arch-shaped Board Book , paper & more! I decided I wanted to use some photos of my daughter playing on the beach last year in Maui. In keeping with the vintage theme of the book, I tinted all of my pictures in a sepia tone & printed a "contact sheet" of them in PSE to get a sheet of images that were roughly 2x3 (some I made larger).  Then I hand-colored her skin with a Copic marker to make them stand out a little.  I also printed some little tag lines from the computer as well...   I think it's a really fun book to remember those sun & sand-filled days at the beach! I hope you'll check out the kit here ! As well as most of the supplies, in the directions w/photos , I show you how to add the paint layers to each page & then muss it ...
