    Baby, it’s cold outside…

    January 7, 2010 - By 



    I needed to warm myself up so I created this Spring inspired altered book page.
    Now doesn’t that make you feel a little warmer already…

    The doily was snagged from a free box at a garage sale. I used my favorite UHU twist & glue on all the fabric pieces. I sprinkled some fine glitter over the page to cover any spots that the glue seeped through. Made it look like a meant to do that. Maybe I should have just kept quiet and you’d just go along thinking how brilliant I am. Just kidding!!
    I think I’ve been shut in too long. Cabin fever is setting in. Symptoms may include: laughing at yourself, by yourself and imagining everyone else thinks you are hysterically funny too.

    What I love about altered books

    October 6, 2009 - By 

    I love the slightly wavy pages from layers of paint, glue and 3D embellishments.


    I love how the edges get all gunked up with various colors as I work through the book. Some could think this was a failure on my part to properly protect the other pages. To me it adds to the beauty.

    Who could resist decorative edges?!? Not this girl.


    I’m drawn to the way an altered book looks as it stands. It tends to pop open a bit so you get a little peek at what’s inside. Delicious.
