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!

Technique Thursday – Recessed Window


Hello fellow Crafters. It is my time to do a technique for Technique Thursday at Michael Strong's yahoo group, Enjoy Michael Strong Stamps and I decided to use the recessed window technique. The directions can be found on the Split Coast Stampers' web site:

I used Mike's small cloisonné tulip stamp for the inside of the window. I coloured the image with my markers and then added paper ribbons, butterflies, brads, bling and a sentiment to complete the card. I like the way the recess window makes the tulips stand out. Come join the fun at Enjoy Michael Strong Stamps.

My quote for today is by Earl Nightingale: "Creativity is a natural extension of our enthusiasm."

Have a creative day.
