Happy 4 of JULY

I think I am addicted to Altered Pocket Pages... here I am sharing one for the 4th of July!!!

 

 

Two Altered Pages Collage Sheets were used:  Patriotic People and Land of the Free. 

 

 

I first get everything cut out and then I start playing with the arrangement.  There is not right or wrong way to make your cards.  If you prefer you can make them each individually one at a time.

 

 

Supplies:

Altered Pages Collage Sheet Patriotic People and Land of the Free

Glue stick

Ribbon

Bazzill Edges

Page Protector

Assorted Pattern Papers

 

 

 

 

 

 Each card measures 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 and place in Page Protector.

 

I love adding ribbons to the side of my pages!

 

 

Wishing you and your family a safe 4th of July!

In Memory of Mom!

Pocket  Pages are all the rage! 

Today I am sharing a page in memory of Mom!

 

 

To start, Bingo Card Pack is sprayed with mists for background in some of the pockets.

 

Layout all the supplies and arrange and rearrange until happy with the layout! The bingo cards blend right in!

 

It is fun layering papers and embellishments!

Alice's Utterly Mad Party Pocket Page!!!

I am a big fan of pocket pages!!!

and I love anything ALICE!!!

 

This was created for one of my Design Team projects for AlteredPages.com

 

For this pocket page I used the 

Mailbox Muse kit  Alice's Utterly Mad Party!! 

 

 

"At Last!  We thought you'd never arrive!"

Fits perfectly in two pockets!

 

 

What is an Alice story without a KEY!

 

With gold paint and my Stencil 1 Wallppaer Repeating Keys, I painted a gold key some text from "Alice in Wonderland". 

 

 

 

The tall image of Alice is not cut in half, her feet are inside a pocket and her head is on the outside of the pocket above it.

 

 Cut the background cards 2 1/2 x 3 1/2- add embellishments as you desire.

Supplies:
Mailbox Muse kit  Alice's Utterly Mad Party
Pen nib
Kraft Clock
Glitz Large Rhinestone
Petaloo Flowers
Text from the book "Alice in Wonderland"
Washi tape

 

Below are pictures of the cards in the pockets!

The page will be ready for mailing after a few goodies are added to the page!!!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

 

 

The Key to Understanding!

Stencil 1 is the Altered Pages partner for the month of April...

I love my  large Key Repeat Wallpaper Stencil!!!

 

This month I have been inspired by others to create Pocket Letters!

Using papers from the Mailbox Muse Kit Art on the Orient Express, cut 9 cards 3 1/2, for the base of my page!

 

Tape a couple of cards on a hard surface, washi tape works well.  Through the large Key Repeat Wallpaper Stencil ink a few keys on cards in strategic places with Versamark

 

Heat emboss with black embossing powder.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Layout cards as they will appear in the Pocket Page

 

 Then embellish...

Ink and heat emboss  Leaky Shed Gears,

adhere with double stick tape!

Add Edges Bazzill banners, ribbon and rhinestones.

 

Print quote on computer, spritz paper with spray mists.  Cut lines of text, ink edges, adhere to cards.

 

 

 

 

Please be a traveler, not a tourist.

Try new things, meet new people.

and look beyond what is right in front of you

Those are the keys to understanding

this amazing world we live in.

- Andrew Zimmern

When finished place cards in the pockets. 

Add little gifts and letter to page for your pocket pal!
