Slipping Through My Fingers with AlteredPages.com


It seems like just yesterday my daughter was born and now, just a short time later, she is turning 7 today. Where did the time go? Today on the AlteredPages.com Blog I share with you how I created this Mixed Media Page to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Hop on over and check out the products used!


Lyrics to the ABBA song Slipping Through My Fingers are printed on tissue and Mod Podged to the page allowing the textures of the background stenciling to show through.



Happy Birthday Fancy Pants!

Attach art piece to EcoArtBoard. Trim out board pieces. Sand edges. Ink with Truffle Mix'd Media Inx. Coat entire image with Mod Podge.
Glue image back together with E6000. Adhere 3D pieces with E6000.

It's Time to be Kind!



The inspiration for my tag today came from the Viva Las VegaStamps! Be Adorable stamp. I had purchased this stamp along with a plate and never had really read it. It didn't dawn on me for several weeks that it had wisdom in the form of simple commands from a to z : Be adorable, be brilliant, be crazy, be daring be excellent, be FUN....be kind... . Upon realizing the true extent of this stamp I felt that it embodied things I believe and have tried to instill in my children. It embodied feelings I have recently expressed about current events in the world. I needed to incorporate this stamp and remind people that NOW is the time-- the time to be caring, to be thankful to be wise to be kind and among others, to be NICE. I hope you enjoy my project! Hop on over to the Viva Las VegaStamps blog to learn how I created this tag!
