Crafts from Aleecesattic range from altered canvas to handmade cards and tags from recycled materials to jewelry and mini albums made from different found materials. I craft each and every day.

Lots of things made from paper, scraps of paper, and recycled items, as I am an avid scrapbooker and teach scrapbook classes at a local scrapbook store. I love to use all mediums in crafting and put them all together. My style is very vintage with an altered twist. I like bright colors and use all of them. Be Creative!!!!
