I have been selected to be a design team member for Altered Pages.
Here is a Halloween banner that I designed.
Here is a close up of one piece of my banner. I used ribbon, lace, patterned papers, buttons, fibers, bling, and vintage images from alteredpages.com.

Design team challenge for Altered Pages.  For this challenge we were asked to come up with our own item to alter.  I decided to use images from the Beautiful Ladies collage sheet and create a fan.  I added vintage buttons, paper doilies, patterned papers, bling, and fibers.

Altered Torsos

Design team challenge for Altered Pages.  We had to alter 5 torsos and then turn at least 3 of them into paper dolls.  I used the Circus Posters collage sheet, fiber, bling, patterned paper, buttons, vintage jewlery pieces, and mini scrabble tiles.

Here are the 3 dolls I created using patterned paper, face stamps, and brads.  I decided to make my dolls circus acrobats to tie into the circus poster theme and then to photgraph them performing one of their balancing acts.

Button Fairies

Here are some button fairies that I made for a swap.

I used paper dolls and butterfly wings.

These were a lot of fun and a bit addicting!
