About Me

Okanagan, BC, Canada
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!

Welcome to my Fairy Garden


Time for another great challenge over at Creative Artiste this month.  As always the theme is Anything Mixed Media Goes. 

Please make sure you use multiple mediums on your  projects.
Please respect that we do not accept Instagram entries. Only blog entries please.

My project this month is a fairy garden book. The chip board book I used was from my stash and probably there for 10 years or so.  I tried to find the company that made the book but it appears it is no longer in business.  The book had lots of Real Estate to create the project on. 

This is the first page of the book.

Lavinia 

I used many products to create my fairy garden including Lavinia rubber stamps, Lavina digital images (fairy houses), lots of different companies flower stamps,


More pages

Open view 

Most of the background were done with Distress Oxide Sprays, Posca Pens, Tombow markers, Gel pens, Pentart Glitter Pens, and Nuvo Crystal Drops.
