About Me

My photo
Okanagan, BC, Canada
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!

Fiesta


Time for another great challenge at Creative Artiste this month.  Your project must be mixed media and your project maybe a card, tag, ATC, altered art ... as long as it fits the challenge specifications. 

We have a wonderful sponsor this month, DecoArt.   DecoArt has a wide variety of Mixed Media products.  I have used a few in my project. 



  I decided to make a canvas using a picture of my hubby and I on vacation a few years ago.  We were in Mexico listening to music and having a good time. Love the Mexican bright colours. 

I used a lot of product on my canvas including the following

Variety of older rubber stamps
Tim Holtz tissue paper
Acrylic Gesso (DecoArt)
Acrylic Paint (DecoArt)
Texture Sand Paste (DecoArt)
Copic Markers
Dies
Gell Pen
Inks


Closer look
