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!

Altered Box - Art on the Go


Time  for another challenge at Altered Eclectics this month, as always it is another Anything Goes challenge as long as it is mixed media or altered art.    I am headed out in September on a 3 month RV trip to New Mexico and Utah and thought I would alter a box to put so of my crafting supplies in while travelling.

I found this box to alter at a flea market. 


I decoupaged pieces of maps from an old atlas I had for the first layer of my box then collages dollar store gems and added some wonderful original sentiments from Chris Stern of CS Designs. CS designs has some beautiful sentiments along with unique digital stamps. 

More views of the altered box.




Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.  Please join in our challenge this month.  Just create you project and enter it here.
