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 Coffee Container

Time for another mixed media challenge at Splashy Mixed Media Challenge.  

Create any mixed media project with inspiration from our mood board and let us know what inspired you.  Love these colours together. 

No photo description available.


This is my project, an altered container that I made using the inspiring mood board. 




This is my container I started with.




I sanded my canister and removed the hardware then painted it with a coat of gesso primer. I added some designer paper from my stash in grey tones. Added some hand painted butterflies, splashes of yellow paint, handmade felt yellow roses, and created a top for the canister using the center of of a ribbon container and some paper flowers.  To complete the project I used ribbons and dollar store gems from my stash. 

Here is another view of the project.
