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!

Butterfly Tag Book


Time for another challenge at Creative Artiste this month.  The theme is always mixed media/anything goes.  

To make my book I decided to use my scraps from my stash which included Gelli prints and scrapbook pages. I used CD Literature folders for the base of the book.  

More views of the book.

To create the front of the book I printed an image from Bugaboo Digital Stamps called Dandelions and Butterflies on white card stock.  I then scribbled regular crayon on the paper to create the background which I melted by ironing the crayon . If you try this please make sure you are in a well ventilated area because heating the crayon gives off fumes.  I also added Nuvo Clear Crystal drops, and a die cut butterfly and gems.  The background paper is part of my Gelli Plate stash. 


Along with Gelli prints I die cut for the butterflies, back grounds I used a rubber stamp by Indigo Blu called Bubbles


Along with Gelli plate prints I also used some designer scrapbook paper.


Tags I used in the book


All the stamps I used for the tags are from my stash also.
