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 Guess Gift Box



It is time for the first challenge of 2019 at Altered Eclectics and I have decided to alter a Guess gift box to make a box to store my postage stamps.

This is what I started with.  




This is another couple of views of the altered box




To decorate my box I added postage stamps, beads, ribbon, travel rubber stamps,  inks, rubber stamp letters, acrylic paint and a metal butterfly.  

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week.  Remember to pop over to our challenge blog to be inspired by our talented design team.
