Altered Pages is really honored  to have  Karen Conner  join the Altered Pages Design Team     If you missed when we introduced Karen on Facebook we are sharing again!  Hi! I'm a southern girl with the drawl and all! Live in Southern Virginia with my husband of 35 yrs and our furbaby-Snickers.  I love designing, drawing, crafting, altering-everything art related! I started off making cards with a Stampin Up group. I found out you can use those supplies and scrapbook. Then I discovered You Tube! A whole new world of crafting opened up for me!! What's stuck the longest and is my favorite is altering things. Canvas, clipboards, boxes, chipboard. Mixed Media is now a way of life too. Using multiple methods to alter items just makes sense to me. I love people too! Making new friends and sharing my love of art with them is always fun!  Karen shares a beautiful mini album she made with products she won from AlteredPages.com! ...

Hey there my fellow crafters!  I hope your week has started off well.   This month, the Altered Pages Design Team has had the great pleasure of working with PanPastels , and we hope you have been following along and are enjoying the projects we have been creating for you.  PanPastels are now available AlteredPages.com , too! I have for you today a vintage mixed media tag  that I think you will like.   There  are a lot of steps, so I have included a lot of pictures. But rest assured, it is so easy to do and lots of fun.  So I hope you will follow along and make it all the way to the bottom.   I chose one of the manila tags from the tag assortment and adhered a vintage text page over the entire tag.   Trim excess and repunch hole through tag. Pounce white pigment ink through stencil. Add Bright Yellow Green and Turquoise Pan Pastels with Softt sponge over the tag. Spray tag with a workable fixative. Print mir...

Hi and Happy Friday!  The Altered Pages Team is continuing our partnership this month with PanPastel.  I'm sure you have seen some of the amazing creations using PanPastels and hope we have inspired you to have fun with them as well.  Be sure to visit Alteredpages.com  for all your crafting needs.  Today I have for you a large Halloween tag.  For those of you that have seen some of my previous posts using the creepy baby doll head collages, they're baaaaaack.  You can see some of them here  and here .  I know some folks like 'em and some not so much.  I think it's perfect for some Halloween fun.  I started with a large white tag, inked the edges with black and then gave the background a modeled effect with my PanPastels Red Iron Oxide and Diarylide Yellow.  I then used my Clear VersaMark with a couple spooky stamps from my stash.  After stamping I colorized the images with the Red Iron Oxide and a "Sofft T...

The Altered Pages Design Team is really excited to be working wit h Pan Pastels during September. We hope you have been enjoying all the creativity!!!  Pan Pastels are available at AlteredPages.com! Quick cards are easy when you have prepared extras as you go along.   A couple of weeks ago I shared how to use Stencils with Pan Pastels .  Today, I am using one of the  Pan Pastels  backgrounds I made earlier this month with stencils and  VersaMark!    I used my VersaMark Dazzle pad with a sponge and carefully applied the VersaMark on my paper through the  stencil pattern .  Then with one of a Pan Pastel soft sponge I gently applied the  Pan Pastels  in a circular motion.     The Halloween image is from the  Antique Halloween collage sheet  (layered on black cardstock).   The panel was layered on  Black Cardstock  and then on the card.
