A few weeks ago, my sponsor Red Lead Paper Works sent a gorgeous assortment of collage sheets and rubber stamps to me in the mail to get my mojo flowing.

Since we have been working on our new walkway and front entrance, I haven’t had much time to create anything…but I did sneak some creative time in the past two afternoons. Some very simple projects – but it was awesome to find some time to myself!

I also decided to add some of the older wallpaper into the pieces. Back in February, my son’s girlfriend gave me 8 wallpaper books and we have been slowly dismantling them.

The first piece is an altered canvas with old ephemera, the second is just a group of simple tags, and the last piece is a bunting using wallpaper as the background.

If you haven’t visited Red Lead Paper Works – I hope you will pay them a visit. They have a wide selection of supplies!

    Your collages are always fantastic. Once upon a time many years ago.. I HAD an old wall paper book, and most likely tossed it out during a move!!! (Or my husband said.. what are you keeping that for???) long before I was interested in making papercrafts. Oh well!
    What a great idea for using vintage wallpaper. Haven’t checked out redlead for awhile..time to see what’s happening there.
