I've got tons of magazine picture backgrounds made and ready for when I see something that strikes me. lol It's so much fun!Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-91392921806574450872015-08-24T05:27:25.264-07:002015-08-24T05:27:25.264-07:00Just catching up!

You have inspired me to get out the paper and glue. Once you get into making them you will find all sorts of things you can use.<br /><br />DarlaDarlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02729017606957829830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-1776639553601106452015-08-20T20:05:56.248-07:002015-08-20T20:05:56.248-07:00I hadn't thought of thrift store clothes for b...I hadn't thought of thrift store clothes for buttons. Great idea! I'll definitely check out your tutorials.

But I realized the formula is simple: background, main image, wording. <br /><br />I also found JoAnns, Michaels, and Hobby Lobby have HORRIBLE prices on fabric, buttons, trims, and lace. I go to the thrift store, and they often have specials. I haven't been in awhile, because I don't need or WANT anything, but if you are just starting out, you can buy an entire blouse, especially girl's blouses, for less than $4.50 on sale at the thrift store. You get at least three, and often up to seven buttons on that blouse! And you have fabric you can use in your ATCs, too. <br /><br />Looking for backgrounds? I have loads of tutorials on my blog and a good place to start would be Lesson 9: backgrounds on my right sidebar under altered book lessons. There will be many there, and IF I remember correctly, they have links to the original posts. It will save you wading through my tutorials page. And, please don't be afraid to ask if you have any questions.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-10063533763913777812015-08-20T05:34:41.436-07:002015-08-20T05:34:41.436-07:00It is great fun :) I'm having fun just explori...It is great fun :) I'm having fun just exploring different ways to do the backgrounds lolDivers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-59333970577752610502015-08-20T00:38:02.128-07:002015-08-20T00:38:02.128-07:00This looks incredibly fun!
