This image shows you the back section of the pages. As you will see each page is different. We have used tissue and stamping to create most of the pages

This image shows you close up of the first page using christmas collage pieces. We all enjoyed creating this page together.

Next year we will be continue our altered book group with classes every first and third Saturday of the month. I've already created our pages for February you will all just have to wait and see what they are.

Enjoy creating

Altered Page Flags

This image shows you the page with the flags opened which is pulled across the page for all to see.

This is an image of the left hand side of the pages. We created this page with aluminum foil, alcohol inks and lumiere paints. The colours worked well together.

As you will see the flags are all sponged with ink pads and embossed through the cuttlebug machine and collaged with our background foil.

This image is the book opened with the flags laying flat

This page was a challenge for the group as we had to create our background paper and flags which stressed them a bit. But they finally finished their pages and all looked wonderful.

Hope you like it also

Monthly Stamp Group Aug 09

When we met this month for our stamp group we continued to experiment with paint dabbers. Once we made our backgrounds we then stamped on them. We also used our negative stencils and stamped on them as well. We then sprayed the sponges of the paint dabber and made our splat background. We had so much fun, the afternoon went so quickly it was time to pack up before we realised it. Here are some of the backgrounds I created.

Paint Dabbers Backgrounds

I created these three backgrounds using Adirondack Acrylic Pain Dabbers and stencils. The first one I just pounced the sponge onto the page. The second and third backgrounds I removed paint from container and used my stencil I made on by Cricut die cutting machine. I sponged the whole card using one colour then I used my negative stencil over the top and sponged a darker colour, then I used the postivie stencil and sponged over a darker colour again. I really enjoyed experiment with these backgrounds
