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!

North Pole Assemblage - Altered Eclectic



I am excited I have been invited to join the design team at Altered Eclectic.  It is an Anything Goes challenge blog with very rules and lots of room for creativity. Your project must be a new and an altered piece .

 I thought for this challenge I would do a Christmas themed assemblage since the season is coming up very  quickly. I had this wooden box I picked up from a thrift store that I painted white and added a gold trim to, next I added the feet (wooden door pulls) and a handle on the top (part of a napkin ring).  The background paper is from my stash of Christmas papers.

 The sleigh digital image is from Kenny K Downloads and the reindeer  are Tim Holtz  die cuts.  The sleigh is held out with a Wobble Spring.  I added 2 trees and the North Pole sign recycled  from a previous project.  I sprayed the trees with a gold glitter and added a snowflake die trim, bling and cotton batten for the snow to complete the project.

 Hope you will join us this time at Altered Eclectric.  Our next challenge is not until February 1st.  Pop over to the challenge blog to see the other wonderful creations created by the design team.
