Smash Your Stash

Well today is my 72nd birthday and despite that didn't realise it was also the last Saturday of the month which means its the monthly Smash Your Stash Journal page challenge with VICKI who always makes amazing journal pages and is more organised than me so hope you will check her blog.

I commented on her blog last night and she mentioned working on a journal page---WHAT??? quick check of the calendar and panic stations !!! Not sure why I was surpised same every month and never know what day it is even caused a panic in local Cooplands on Wednesday when I said it was Thursday! The assistant panicked because she picked her daughter up on a Thursday and a customer panicked because he was going to Germany Friday and hadn't packed lol good job they didn't ban me!

The theme this month is "Use Scraps od Paper" well I have loads of those so sorted a few out and realised a few had Bees on so worked with that deviating from my original plan -no surprise there!

I swiped the page with a couple of oxide inks,added some details with a white gelly rool pen/gold gel pen-added a couple of die-cut Bees I found and a little wooden one from stash.I also added a few strips of washi tape too and a couple of splats using oxide ink and the end of a cork and a sentiment from IndigoBlu---panic over thank goodness!

Thank you

These days when you see so many people complaining about Hermes/Evri delivery drivers---we have a brilliant regular one who goes above and beyond.

He knows one of our neighbours works night so in bed during the day and another one who works but porch door doesn't lock and as someone is always in here he brings us all the parcels lol. He could make life easy and just take them back or leave on doorstep like some do.We missed him recently and thought he had left but when he came back we discovered his wife had died and his dog died the day after the funeral.

Everyone thought we should show our appreciation but too late for a sympathy card so I made a thanks card and we had a small collection between us all which he really appreciated-but credit where credit is due.I stamped the Bee Crafty Teasel image and used a Thats Crafty stencil.The thanks sentiment was white so covered it in grey oxide and clear embossed -done.

Truly Yours Wedding Card

Morning and as it's the 1st September I have two DT posts today and the second one is my first posting as a DT member for Scrapping4Fun where the challenge is Words Beginning With"W" so I made a wedding card for a nearby neighbour who decided to get married after 21 years lol.

I made a Diamond point/Triple Point card using the beautiful Truly Yours papers, the Stampin Up gems I won at Creative Creases -as for the dies they were taken out of packaging and put on magnetic sheets with the optimistic reasoning I will remember whose they are-yer right can't even remember what I go upstairs for!!!
