Altered Pages Post with Valentine collages!

Hello and welcome to February- a month filled with LOVE & SNOW~ at least in my neck of the world! teehee

Today I am sharing with you some of Valentines I have made- some to be hung in the windows and others for sharing- hope you find some inspiration in my post! 

    I started out with some paper heart doilies and cardboard hearts I had. After stringing the red hearts and then gluing them to the lace doily- the fun began!

  I printed out Altered Pages Valentine collages and fancy cut the pieces I would use.
 
 

 The Distress Markers were used to outline the Love quote to give depth to it.

Stickles galore!

     Lots of Stickles glitter glue here- yes, I am a fan of Stickles!


And now close ups of each Valentine- using the collage pieces

 For my organization tip, I am sharing my marker and pen storage that I upcycled. 
My hub had bought at auction about 12 of those metal and plastic drawer organizers-used for nuts,bolts,etc.
Seeing that he had so many...I snagged a few for my own use! teeheehee

  This one I painted up in some of my fav colors and added some favorite papers on the side and back. I filled the drawers that pens and markers would fit into and removed others for my longer ones. 
I had an issue with my pens/markers going dry- so after a bit of research, I found that many artists suggest laying them vertically-


So, you are getting a two for one today as I never hit publish last week and this post had been sitting as a draft! oops!- Enjoy ")

 

 Hello everyone and welcome to the next to the last day of January- already! 
We here at Altered Pages are still partnering with DecoArt for these last two days- so a little bit more painting fun for you!

So I created a journal page on one of my favorite indulgences! 
                                     Coffee of course! 

 

  I used the whole  "Take your coffee black" collage sheet from Altered Pages as well as a few of my favorite DecoArt Colors-both Americana and from the Media Acrylic line. 
I also used the StencilGirl stencil~ Layered Salad by Terri Stegmiller

 

 This journal spread is my interpretation of the theme~
Words with Friends~  over at The Documented Life Project
