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!

Last Challenge of the year at Not Just Cards



This is the last challenge of the year at Not Just Cards for 2015. The theme of the challenge is anything goes.  I have created 2 projects for the challenge.

 I have a used an image from Morgan Fitzsimon's Art Stamps  called Cameo Fae for my art journal page. 




To make my background for my project I used Panpastels, script rubber stamp, and flourish rubber stamps.  My image was coloured with Copics, gell pen and a glitter pen. I added a rubber stamped butterfly to complete my journal page.

 I think Cameo Fae is a beautiful digital stamp and lots of fun to create with. 


For my second project I used an image of Julia Spiri for my card.  The Image is called Indian Girl with elephant.

I coloured the image with my Copics,a glitter pen and a white gell pen.    I used some of the handmade paper I bought on a holiday in Italy one year.  I liked how it went with the image. I added sequins to complete the card.
