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!

AUGUST 2023 - A Place to Start - Leaves and Trees

 A Place to Start is having another challenge this month. The theme of the challenge is to create a card with leaves/or trees/ .

Our sponsor this month is 



Our winner will receive 3 digital images




This is my card I made for this month's challenge using our sponsor Polkadoodle's image called Gnome Gardening.

My card was designed after a card I found on Debbie Magdeed's blog, Secrets of Stamping with Debbie, she has so many interesting ideas and folds for cards.  The pattern I used was partially taken from a card she had on her blog called Double Dutch Card. I adjust the demension of the card to fit my image.

I used several pieces of designer paper from my stash for my card. The image was coloured with copics and pencil crayon. I added a sentiment and butterflies to complete my card. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week. Hope you will join us this month for this challenge. 

 I am entering my card in the following challenges:
