I quickly whipped up some pages this morning while I had some time all to myself! These pages are to help fill out a couple of books started with tip-ins.
These first three are for a Quotes book.
These two are for a Patriotic Tip-in book.

I put together a house theme book with the tip-ins I received from a swap on ABC altered book club plus a couple pages of my own just for fun.The image on the cover is the Hamm house which has been torn down. I got a book in the free bin at the library. It tell the stories of buildings and places in Minnesota that have been lost due to “progress”. I’m not entirely sure but I think the Hamm family is one in the same as the Hamm’s beer company…which is also gone. Although, I still can remember the theme song as well as Hamm’s bear from the TV ads…I may be aging myself with that declaration.

I’ve been at it again.
After moving snow yesterday afternoon and this morning, I thought I’d play a little.
First I took out watercolor paper and started making some backgrounds. I used paints, inks, gesso, embossing powder, PearlEx powder, foam stamps and papers scraps.
LAYERS, LAYERS, LAYERS.
****************While waiting for those to dry I pulled out a book I started long ago with some tip-in from a swap. My theme for the swap was quotes. I used the book All I really needed to know I learned in Kindergarten by Robert Fulghum as my base. These are the pages I added today. They are worked in directly in the book…not as a tip-in.
**************
After my backgrounds dried I cut them into 4×8’s for chunky book page backgrounds and 2.5×3.5 for ATC’s.
This is the ATC was made with one of my new backgrounds.
