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!

Advice for Someone Who is 60


Time for another challenge this month at Creative Artiste. I made a birthday book for a friend that just turned 60.  The book is made from 3 CD Literature folders put together.  I used some pretty designer paper for the book along Tim Holtz's Birds, Dina Wakleys birds, acrylic paints, posta pens, stencils, inks,  Pentart pens, ribbons, die cuts, clasps, tags, envelopes, pieces of my Gel prints,   a selection of tags and saying  of findings and mediums. 


There are some of the pages from the book.














Here are a few of the tags




Some os my bird's hats  were from the die Times collection but many were from parts of other stamps and digital images I have.





I had a ton of fun making this birthday book. 

You can find the instructions for the basic folds etc of this book on  You Tube.  The video is called Pop Pop Fizz Fizz by Trish Morris.  I have varied the instructions to suit my book along with adding my own ideas. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week.
