Altered Pages is celebrating the coming of Spring with their latest challenge - Lavender Thoughts!
I missed last month's challenge, so I wanted to be sure to get in on the fun this month! And what better way than an ATB!
An Artist Trading Block that is!
What IS an ATB you ask...its a chunk of wood that you can spruce up with whatever strikes your fancy & trade it with other Becky Vothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15137808329456927718noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57006865207124048.post-35332351076468211922013-01-22T19:11:00.000-07:002013-01-22T19:11:20.373-07:00Altered Pages Challenge #5: "Snow Dancing"
It's time for another AP challenge, using AP products...of course! Cuz they ROCK!!!
The theme this month is "Snow Dancing."
I am the first to admit that I am NOT a seamstress!
BUT, I LOVE to use my sewing machine when creating altered pieces & kinda feel that if it's just for me, I can get away with crooked lines!!
This one was inspired by our very own AP DT member, Tristan Robin Becky Vothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15137808329456927718noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57006865207124048.post-9507074633211262722012-12-01T05:19:00.001-07:002012-12-01T05:19:25.860-07:00Once again...
Here we go again...it's been too long since I've blogged anything & even longer since I have been creative!!!
While I have been in the midst of moving about 25 miles south of our old home, mom & Kim have managed to get creative with some fun projects that I promise to photograph & post here in the next couple of weeks!
