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!

Books Fall Open ..........


Hi fellow crafters.  This is my project for this weeks challenge at Not Just Cards.  I decided to make a wall hanging for this challenge from a cover of a popular Mechanic hard cover book I found in the thrift store and a digital stamp by Handmade Harbour one of our sponsors.  The supplies I used to make this wall hanging are:
  • Digital image - called bookshop
  • Quote by David McCord
  • Spellbinders Nestabilities Label 7 die
  • Dictionary pages
  • Distress Inks - tea dye
  • Soft molding form wire (from my husbands stash)
  • Copics for colouring
  • Crackle rubber stamp - unknown
  • Seam binding for ribbon
  • Brads
  • Corner Paper Punch
  • Popular Mechanics book cover
  • Paper from my stash

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.
