Time marches on!

Hope it's a GREAT Sunday for YOU....Jean Here to say HI. 

OK, barely got the Christmas stuff put away and BAM, it's Valentines Day, Chinese New Year, and so on.   I am beginning to understand why people keep their tree up all year!

On a brighter note.....I'm very happy to announce that we will partner with Faerie Song Stamps this month on the Blog.    This company has a wide selection of fairies, mermaids, dragons, mice and other sweet stamps.



I have to say it is a departure for some of our Design Team and that's what we like to do, exercise those creative muscles.   Maybe that sweet Fairy will have a dark twist.   Watch for the Design Team to dazzle you! 

Speaking of DAZZLE -  We have a new Design Team member!   Judy Wood is an amazing artist and poet.  Watch for her posts and wonderful art.   

Sadly, we have a team member departing....Betsy Skagen ends her participation with AlteredPages.   She is taking a step back for a while to regroup and refresh.  Betsy has been a great team addition with a quirky sense of humor & fab art projects.

Keep in mind, place a 10.00 or more postal order and get a FREE rubber stamp plate until Monday at midnight.  The stamp celebrates Mardi Gras and it's festivities.



Then, starting Tuesday a $10.00 or more postal order gets you a FREE Asian Ambiance, deeply etched red rubber stamp to celebrate Chinese New Year




Stay warm and let us Alter your Creativity.  

Last chance for 
MailboxMuse Kit orders!!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
