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!

Always in Style



I made  this tag for an upcoming tag swap at the Inky Fun Stampers.  I was making a page for my Life Book journal and thought I would make the background of this tag with the made colours. I used my Gelli plate to create the background and added a couple of rubber stamps and some Washi tape for interest. The top is a pre-cut label from a package of scrapbook labels that happened to be the same colour as my project. I thought it made an interesting top to the tag. 

I used one of my mix media Prima doll for the tag and punched my flowers out left over paper from my gelli late prints.  I paper pieced the dress, added a Stampin Up sentiment, ribbon and a couple of buttons.  

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative days.

I love Paris


I created this tag for an upcoming swap which required a key in the design of the tag.  I had fun layering the tag.  I used the following to create the tag.  

  • Background - several colours of metallic Inka Gold
  • Background - stamped with jigsaw puzzle stamp from my stash
  • Keys - were die cuts that were layered with several layers of embossing powder to give them a metal look
  • Washi tape with a Paris theme and one with a key theme
  • Love sentiment stamp from my stash
  • Alphabet stamp from my stash
  • Tim Holtz Eiffel Tower stamp 
  • Heart stamp from my stash 

Hope my swap partner enjoys the tag.  Thank you for stopping by.

Anything Goes with a Twist - Halloween

Here is my first card for this week for the challenge at Fitztown Challenge Blog. I have chosen to make a Halloween card with the Blackthorne image of Last Enchanter Collection for the anything goes with a twist challenge.  Although Blackthorne is not a tradition Halloween image I thought he fit well into this card's theme.

This was a fun card to make with  a combination of digital image, die cuts, rubber stamps, string, brads, Washi tape and Halloween patterned paper.   The sentiment rubber stamp was by Class Act and the Halloween stamps are by Craftsmart.
 
Come and join us at Fitztown for the challenge this week. Thank you for stopping by to take a look at my creations and have a creative day.

Things with Wings - Fruit Fly

Julie's turn to pick the challenge this week at Come and Get It Challenges and she chose a great challenge for this time of the year, Things with Wings.  Since I live in the hot and sunny Okanagan I instantly thought of all the fruit trees ,the extreme hot weather we have had this year and the bugs.  

Bugaboo is our sponsor and I have used their scene it, fruit fly digital stamp for the image.  When we have Bugaboo as our sponsor we always have such a great prize for the winner.


I used bright colours on my card to represent this the sunny summer we are having and showing these fruit flies are having lots of fun.  The stripes on the card are Washi tape and the sentiment is by A Muse Artstamps. 

Hope you will join us this week at Come and Get It. Thank you for stlopping by to take a look and I hope you have a wonderful week.
