About Me

My photo
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!

Playing in My Craft Room


This card was an experiment in trying a couple of different techniques. I had to make a card for an upcoming swap that started with the the letter "Y".

For my card, Y is for You. The sentiment was a quote from Pinterest that I printed on tissue paper with the computer and decoupage on to the card,then letters were outlined in white gell pen, and the sentiment box outlined with turquoise Indian ink. 


I coloured the background with PanPastels, stamped it randomly with a textured and a feather rubber stamps.  To complete the back ground I then added some some stenciling.

The butterfly was die cut from a scrap of paper left over from a card I made with my Gelli Plate. 

Hope my card swap partner enjoys my card as much as I did making it. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.
