Welcome to my crafting blog. After retirement, my husband and I moved to a beautiful location in the Okanagan area of British Columbia. I love all paper crafts including mixed media, journaling and cards. I also dabble in papermaking, photography, fibre art, and altered books. I am an active member of several card and mixed media groups and on the design team of several challenge blog. I love the world of blogging, it has opened many doors for me. My favourite quote is by Maya Angelou. “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” I hope you join me in my search for my creative side. Thanks for stopping by!

The Book of Spells


I am  so excited to be invited to be a designer on the the Forever Dark 2 Challenge group.  This is our first challenge and it is a anything goes challenge but please no mainstream projects this is for crafters on the dark side.  

I used an image by ArtiDoodles called Corvus Coralyne.   I used an old card box that I painted purple and added my image that I colored with my Copic markers. I added a title page to the spine of the book. 


Once I had the front of my book completed I added some Graphic 45 papers to the inside of the box and added my bottles and spider.  


This was a fun projects and I know we will have a lot of fun with out creations.  Please pop over to our challenge blog and see the dark art work of the rest of the design team have created to inspire you.  Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.
