It's EASY to ALTER

Today we've got some fun an easy altered items for you
to try.  With home decor being so popular in the paper world...
we wanted to share a little inspiration with you all.

Bless Your Heart & Home Wall Hanging 
by Juliana Michaels
Designer tip: I think it is fun to think outside the box when creating altered projects. 
For this wall hanging I used 3 pages from the Apple Cider Mini Album as the base.
 I adhered them together overlapping the middle pumpkin onto the other 2 pumpkins. 
I then embellished it with a variety of stickers, Noteworthy pieces and fussy cut images. 
The little girl, little boy and 4 of the pumpkins are fussy cut from various papers. 
I further embellished them with glitter glue and jewels.
I don't know about you guys, but I can't get enough of Apple Cider!

Jewelry box

 We all have little baskets, boxes or trinkets sitting around that we can alter.

Smile
by Romy Veul 
 Designer Note: To decorate the top of my treasure box I used mainly fussy cut and 
sticker flowers that I layered using foam tape. I adhered a trinket and a bee on top 
of them and that's it. You don't need a lot to embellish your altered items.

Thankful Altered Wooden Pumpkins
by Debbie Sherman

 Designer Tip: After painting the 2 wooden pumpkins I adhered patterned paper to them using Modge Podge. I then went over them with another coat of modge podge. After they were dry I overlaped the smaller pumpkin to the larger pumpkin and adhered with a glue gun. I then layer my embellishments by using Foam Squares to pop them up, this allowed me to add more embellishments behind my layers giving my project extra dimension.
