AlteredPages Artsociates

Anyone else a big fan of the museum gift shops? I especially yearn to own every tiny, framed, famous painting. Those that fit in the palm of your hand and can be displayed anywhere.  I needed to DIY my own. AlteredPages.com to the rescue! This is a very simplified process.

Hi everyone ... Happy Friday!  I have a card to share with you today.  I see it as either a birthday or save the date card because of the time theme.  Let's get started.  There is a list of supplies at the bottom of the post. I chose three different designs from the 6x6 Accomplished Authentique paper pad.  I am using the small brick, keys and clocks designs.  They all heavily feature black on them so I went with black cardstock and ribbon, as well.

When it was dry, I glued a metal timepiece charm to it.  The focal point of the card is a big Kraft clock face, with a metal disk and a single black Dew Drop glued to it.  There is a time themed collage sheet ...
