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!

Anything Goes Christmas Challenge with an Image

This month at Patties creations it is a Christmas theme challenge but you must use an image. I decided to make a Christmas book using some of the wonderful images from Patties Creations.   

This is the front cover of my book.  I used a image called Winter Cottage Scene. I also added snowflakes, bells, ribbons, tags, ribbon, glitter bling and stars to finish the cover . 



I divided my book into sections using several different images from Patties Christmas collection. 
 I used and image called Christmas Mail Box for my address book title page.


I used an image called Polar Bear Snow Globe for this title gift page of my book. 


I used an image called Snowman1 for my event title page for my book.


I used this image called Lamp Post Banner Tree  for my cards and tags orders title page. 

I just love Pattie's Christmas collection of images. 
Along with the dividing pages I also added envelopes for receipts and notes and pockets for stamps and a calendar. 



Some of the products I used for my project are

 Ink 
designer paper from my stash
glitter
Acrylic paint 
Flower soft - polar white
Images from Pattie's Creations
Diamond Glaze
Blig
Glitter
Copics
