Smash Your Stash Journal Page

Last Saturday of the month and time for the Smash Your Stash journal page challenge with Vicki. Please check out her blog as she makes brilliant journal pages-mine just seem to be hotch potch and thrown together.

The theme this month is liquid drops/enamel dots/brads/eyelets-my first thought was omg don't have any of those-so rummage through a mixed scrap drawer and found some liquid pearls which actually still worked,and some brads,and as this was a smash your stash I used a page background already made and waiting to be used-found a little frame I made years ago that got left because it was a little wonky but now I think wonky is good lol,added some pink and gold Cosmic Shimmer gilding polish that thankfully still worked -had those years too!Added a couple of stamps from a set loose in box sooo not sure whose they are at the moment.

 Sorry Vicki  this is a little late today forgot to schedule post!!!

Oh my goodness Carol, I just love this and the brilliant texture you've pulled from your stencils and pastes here! I love the added liquid pearls and glad you were able to find something...able to rummage through and finish off your stash too! (I have such a long way to go! LOL!) The colors are pretty too!

P.S. No worries about being late as I actually forgot until last night to do anything at all, so mine was scheduled last night! ;)

This is such a pretty journal page Carol. The timing is quite a coincidence because I have recently been thinking about all the craft stash I have upstairs and have not used for years - things go out of fashion but they come around again and perhaps it is time to dig out all of my eyelets and brads.

When I first started making cards and scrap books pages I read something which has stuck in my head ever since. It was that things being slightly wonky prove that they are hand made - too perfect makes your work look shop bought. Anyhow, that aside, I cannot see where your frame is wonky!

I love the colours and textures you have used in this project.
