Back to Basics - VARIATION in an Altered Book - Ep 4

[@teriglawe-jy5mh]

Your back to basics has gotten my creative juices flowing again. I like the picture frame look you use, but unlike you i don't use digital. This morning( 4 am central time US) i figuered out how to get the same look. I choose an image, use a black pen and straight edge to draw a frame around it. Then i used fancy scissors to cut a border around that. I then uesed an alcohol marker to color in the frame part. And they actually turned out. Thanks again having alot of fun with this series.

It might look nice with some rubber stamping on some of the painted papers.

I love this idea of painting the print of an altered book!! I have done one before, with taring of pages; but this is a really good idea!! Thank you Tina!! Have a Happy New year!!🥰🌹🎆✨

I think watcing you paint with household paint was one of my favorite videos!! I still love this idea. Quote: “It’s not about presents but it is about your presence.

Love this little altered book. Glad you left the pictures of the birds.😍

[@annikprasad8006]

Great and simple idea. I have so many cute little books that could work for this.

[@mar-louisemyburgh7030]

Beautiful! Supper easy but still so pretty and looks like fun to make. Will definitely make one.

[@jacquelineremus8674]

This series is so much fun. So happy you came up with the idea. Right now watching and using your digitals to make a planner with a calendar and trackers for my daughter or maybe me.

Love, love this cute journal. It will be so satisfying to complete a journal in one afternoon.💜

[@donnaquick5173]

Love this idea. Super cute ❤

[@marlenegura1161]

What a great idea!!! Love this!!!! I'm gonna give it a try!!❤❤❤

[@theserendipitouscrafter3532]

What a fun and easy idea !! Now I have to look for a book with lots of pictures 😊

[@CraftroomStories]

I love this! I have altered post cards and playing cards adding fussy cuts to make them more interesting. Never done a book, but now I want to.

[@nicolinavincelli9369]

Tina, you have such great ideas, I am really enjoying this. I have made a lot of your back to basic projects. Thanks for sharing, enjoy your day and the Happiest New Year, big hugs Tina.

[@pshandmade]

Lo e this. You are so brave and always make it work great!!!❤

I made my last attic book from a steven king book 🙊. I've never painted the pages before though, one to try. I think we can forget sometimes that journals are primarily for writing in 🙈. Lol I also still say "bobble" for hair ties, shows our ages🙈. I had to explain to my niece that they were elastics with plastic 'bobbles' to hold them closed. Straightening combs? Cool. That green lace is perfect in that book😍. Hi minidabbydoodah long time no 'see'. She sounds so grown up now 😯. Very cute take on an altered book and satisfying to complete a project in one sitting! Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖

[@denisehennix]

I have soooo many books I’ve been hoarding to make altered book journals 😅 Thanks for sharing this wonderful inspiration ❤

[@angelauppington7605]

I was only thinking this morning that your lovely daughter hasn’t been around lately. Lovely to hear her around xx

[@cindywilson2739]

That turned out beautiful!

[@sherryvanderpool8644]

Great idea and it is lovely ❤

[@junkjournalgirl]

Lovely series thanks Tina, with great inspiration. Love this idea to make a cute journal. Thankyou and Happy New Year x

[@barbaramcfall642]

Cute little journal.

[@TheMBArtsStudio]

It's so funny to me...I live in the US but we seem to have many of the same rings. I was about to get rid of a bunch of them but every time I see you wearing one, it reminds me of the fun I used to have wearing them and go put on one. Thanks!

[@shirleylaboy603]

I keep telling myself I need to make one of these, and now I will. Yours is gorgeous, Tina. I love the lace detail. Thanks for sharing. 🙂♥️

[@susietruelove3657]

I think this is so simple and perfect for new people as well as those that have been doing journals for a long time

[@lenawarelius4195]

It looks great 😍 you do amazing things with this book 👏🥰 and fun to make 😊 lots of love from arctic Norway at 0 degrees today 🥰🌼🌸🌺

[@teresazuehls783]

Great way to use up an old book! TFS, Tina!❤

[@junerobbins6871]

Love it !!

[@janicestevens8469]

Tina, I’m loving this series and getting so many videos from you this week! There have been so many amazing ideas, and examples to get back to the basics! Happy New Year to you and your family! 🫶🏻

[@wendaprior6160]

Hi Tina, really good take on an altered book. Haven’t seen this way done before. Xx

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much, I hadn’t tried this before, but tbh it worked really well xx

[@loribaca9065]

Happy New Year

[@Crazy4Crafting50]

I love this idea! 💡 I don't have any picture books yet but I hope I remember this when I do! Thanks for sharing! My daughter used to straighten her hair all the time too. She found a product to put in her hair before she straightened it to help make it smooth. We are in the U.S. so not sure what's available there in the U.K. that would be similar

[@ValerieAbbott-on1mr]

I do love this concept and have altered a notebook. The only part I didn't like was putting the half butterflies on the bird pages and I wouldn't have altered the cover so much.

[@josetteforde6817]

Viewing from the caribbean a blessed christmas to you and yours tina it all turned out goregous

[@shabbydabbydoodah]
