I'd like to introduce JUDY, our newest DT member! Welcome to the team Judy!! Please stop by her BLOG to say hello!!! 

My name is Judy McKay,  I retired 5 years ago and moved to the sunny Okanagan of British Columbia, Canada. I am addicted to paper crafts in particularly cards, art journaling and mix media. I also dabble in papermaking, encaustic art, fibre art, and altered books. My favourite quote is by Maya Angelou. “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.”

Now to give you some inspiration from the team:
