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!

It is all about Time


This week at Crafty Cardmakers it is a themed challenge, "time".  I decided this challenge to make a collage mixed media board with the time theme.  I had this men's watch a friend gave me to use someday and I immediately thought about it for this challenge.  

I used lots of different elements in the collage including star, butterflies, flowers, bottle, old sewing bobbin, jewelry,  numbers, tiles gears, stencil, and keys.  I also used many products for the collage including torn drawing papers, gesso, wall board binding, acrylic paint, Inka Gold, ink sprays, distressed embossing powder, stamps, finds from the thrift stores and micro beads. Had lots of fun with the theme. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you will join us this week for our time challenge. Pop over to our challenge blog to see the inspiring creations of the design team. 
Have a creative day.
