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 File Box


It is time again for another challenge at Altered Eclectics.  This is an anything goes challenge as long as it is an altered project.  For this month's project I made an altered box to hold all of my alphabet letters that I have collected over the years for use in upcoming challenges. 

I started with this old file box.

I used letters from my collection, stencils, acrylic paints, wooden stars and buttons to create the textures and colours on my box.

    Judy, is there anything you can't transform? You always do such a great job with mixed media. I love when you show the before picture, too.
