I decided to pull out my “just for fun” altered book to use up some scraps on my work surface.

Well, technically, the tall ship packing tape transfer was adhered to the cabinet door. Everything else was just laying within reach both on the desk and the small drawer that I throw random small scraps into while creating. Bigger scraps go into my color coded files eventually.

It was really fun working in an altered book again. It’s been a while…


For some reason I had a hard time with a child theme ATC.
I think it was because I wanted to use this image but it was so long and narrow that it was hard to work with in ATC size. Anyway, I am happy with my end result.

DO NOT ADJUST YOUR MONITOR!
He is actually greenish.

My friend Elizabeth twisted my arm to join a couple of her swaps this month. They are both ATC swaps. I’ve completed the Men ATC’s. It’s funny though, this is not what I had intended at all for these but my printer decided to run out of ink part way through the printout. Since the guy had this funky green color to him I figured he had to be either from Mars, nauseated or radioactive. Obviously, I went for radioactive.

Now I need to come up with something fun for the Children theme ATC’s. I have a couple good vintage child photos.


I’m not a big fan of making ATC’s. The size doesn’t speak to me. However, for packing tape transfers they seem to be a great size. I found a magazine article that had the coolest background and I knew it would look awesome as a transfer.




I decided to drag out my coffee themed altered book over the weekend to try and get a few more pages done.

Here’s what I came up with…

When I decided to do this book I thought it would be a breeze.

I LOVE COFFEE. How hard could it be, right?!?

Apparently I like drinking my coffee, not creating art about it.


I’ve signed myself up for more swaps.

This is the first one I’ve tackled.

You’ll be seeing more in the coming weeks.



I got a chance to play a bit today.

I’ve had this book sitting waiting to be inspired.

While cleaning up my table a bit, the ideas finally struck.
