  Happy Holidays! Have you visited our website for the holiday crafty goodies you can keep in both hands?!  Have you heard about our  stamp line ?  That's right sugar plum Altered Pages has its own stamps. Take peak.   Vintage shabby chic Christmas?  It's all the rage and Altered Pages has just what you need to add a little pastel to your holiday decorations. I have put together a Christmas tree in blue,pink and green. Gold and silver stars, ribbons and bows Oh My!   Victorian Father Christmas    is the collage sheet I used on the tree cone. Also some Washi Tape from Glitz . Happy Creating Melanie

Yes, it's time for another fun challenge here at Altered Pages! This months theme is " Colors of the Season "... Now that's not to say it's only red and green for Christmas but it could be whatever the season means to you.   For me though I did stick with red and green because Christmas rules our home in December!  I love the whole deal, the lights, baking, being with family, the tree, singing, etc....   It's always been a big part of our year even when I was a kid.   So here is the project that I was inspired to make...     I started off with the book covers which are the 2"x2" pieces of Eco Board .  Great little pieces for making books, jewelry, embellishments and so much more!   I then added pieces of the Hello December line of paper and Chevron Tape from Glitz on each page plus various images from the Holiday Postcards collage sheet plus a little holiday poem from my collection and ended up with this little boo...

Today I am showing you 2 cards I made with supplies I got from  Altered Pages.com!! I used all Glitz Designs products.  The  Hello December  6x6 paper pad,  Glitz Designs Giant Rhinestones , and the Glitz Designs Diecuts.  I finished up with some Wink of Stella  clear, just to make it sparkle!!  There was enough product to make a TON of projects!  I used 3 pieces of paper, 3 rhine stones and a few of the diecuts and STILL have 21 pieces of paper, a ton of diecuts and 4 more rhinestones!  For these prices you can look like an amazing card maker for a fraction of the price of other paper lines and card kits.  The whole 3 piece set was $11!  I know, right? So stock up while you can!  There is still plenty of time to get this in time to make your Holiday cards.  Or, you can get this and give it as a gift to a crafty friend. Happy winter crafting!! xxDaniella

Are you Christmasing?  I certainly am, almost non-stop it seems, and am trying to challenge myself to use non-traditional colors in some of my creations.  Here are some winter white,  vintage sewing themed ornaments, using a sweet new stamp available at Altered Pages : The stamp measures 2.4 by 3.4, so it's a perfect size for ornaments. I wrapped the cut-out cardstock with vintage trims and silk ribbons. (accented with clear Wink of Stella pen.) Be sure to check back Monday to find out what the December Altered Pages Artsociates Art Challenge will be, there will be lovely prizes as always!  (And yes, my post is a vague clue . . . ;) Have a lovely weekend, :)trisha
