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!

613 Avenue Create - November - Anything goes or optional twist Thank you! (create a thankful project)

Time for another challenge at 613 Avenue Create. The theme of this challenge is anything goes with an optional twist of creating something to say thank you. 

This is my "thank you project" for November's challenge.

 I create a Christmas present box for a gift to say thank you to a friend for how she has helped me in some hard times. I have some earring that I am going to add to the box




I used a small metal box for the base of my project that I painted blue with acrylic paints and added a white doily for the background. I added some dollar store gems around the  top of the lid that I also painted blue then added Metallic Gilding Polish to give them some shine. 

The top of the box I decorated with die cut poinsettias which I painted with acrylic paint, Christmas greenery and a sentiment.  I hope she enjoys my gift.

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative month.
