Altered By Me

It has been awhile since I have had a chance to make any art. It's not that I haven't wanted to get down and dirty with my craft supplies but life has been busy. We moved at the beginning of August into a bigger rental. I now have a craft room. Woo Hoo but things are still packed and shelves and storage need to be figured out. I have been recycling packing paper for a while now and have a big stash of it. It was conveniently located so when I was looking through the new Paper Imagery Designs Halloween sheets I knew I wanted to use some to make a mini altered book. Pages 1 & 2 pages 3 & 4 pages 5 & 6 

  I made this altered mini book for the February jackpot on the PID yahoo group. It is 3 x 3 and the base for the pages came from an kit I bought from my local Dollar Tree store last year. At the time I figure how can I go wrong for a buck and bought a few of the kits.   The pages were already decorated with the checkerboard pattern. I colored the pages with distress ink after randomly gluing piece of dictionary pages and music sheets to them . The theme for this month was purple, green and gold. I used a gold gel pen to highlight the edges of some of the checkerboard. I also used it to highlight some of the areas on the Paper Imagery Designs images that I used. Thanks for stopping by! Arlene
