A couple of Altered Book Pages

Happy Friday.  This is short because my Mom turns 90 today and I need to bake two cakes.  (one sugar-free for the diabetics among us- and one sugary one for everyone else.) 

Here are a couple of pages from the altered book I am making.  I have taken several classes on CreativeBug (affiliate link) about various ways of altering books and creating papers. 
Both of these pages use a gel-printed background that is glued to the book page. 
The car was drawn with paint pens and cut from another sheet then glued onto the background

I think this print was a bit busy, but I used it anyway. 
The photos were black and white,  I used acrylic paint pens to colorize them. 

Linking to the Friday Face Off.



Until Next Time,  
Stay Creative

I don't think that page is busy at all, and I like how you used it. That car page is lots of fun too. Your book is coming along super. Hope you are having as much fun as your pages look like you are! Have a great weekend Gene.

Happy birthday to your beautiful mom. You are so nice to bake two cakes. I really like what you are doing with the altered book. I like the second one with the busy background. The image of the girls do pop out. Very creative. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a great weekend.
