About Me

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!

Altered Jar - Rhedd's Creative Spirit

 I am excited today to announce that I have been accepted on the design team of Rhedd's Creative Spirit.  Rhedd's is an altered art challenge blog, only altered art/mixed media projects.  No paper crafts accepted. I love the mixed media world. I love the hunt for material for my projects. You never know where you are going to find something to inspire you. 

This is my first project. 




This is the jar I started with.



Some of the products I used for my altered jar are Cascade Home Deco chalk paint, Studio Series Blue Metallic Marker, and Violet Inka Gold.  The findings that I added were metal belt pieces, ribbon, cord with a metal chain attached, metal dream tag, a plastic curtain rod finial, gems, and a silver coaster. All of my findings came from either a thrift store, my stash or a garage sale. 

Here are some more views of the altered jar.
