================================================================================

Hi All!  I've received fun package from Altered Pages for this event sometime ago.  I could imagine so many possibilities with these old book pages in many languages, sizes and themes, in addition to a lot of ribbons, laces and embellishments, even um rubber stamp sheet.

I love the collage sheet with vintage girls faces and doll poem.

My project turned out something recycle. I found this tag was too cool to toss, it's made of chipboard and interesting shape, even ball chain attached, so kept them for my art project, and this is great opportunity to use.
