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!

ReplyDeleteWell happy of happiest birthdays to you Carol!!! I hope that you have a fantastic birthday and thank you for taking time out on your birthday to play along with our AJ fun!! Gosh, for being panicked, you sure did make a very lovely page here with your bees!! I absolutely LOVE that quote you've used with yours too! I love how you've made a collage with your paper scraps as that was my initial thought too, but decided to paper piece concentrating on a particular pack. This turned out fantastic Carol! Thanks for the inspiration and go have a wonderful day friend!!

Happy Birthday! Have a wonderful day. I hate when I realize I need a card NOW! Did that yesterday when I needed two male birthday cards in a hurry. Only got them done due to pre-colored images. Love your page. So much visual interest. I just have no imagination for anything ou of the ordinary.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, happy birthday dear Carol!!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh so hard at the confusion you've got hihi
your journal page is beautiful, you used very nice colors xx
Well happy belated birthday, Carol! I'm sure you had other things on your mind. Sometimes I get too filled up with thoughts and something has to slip. If I didn't keep a to do list and notes on the calendar... and then I still mess up. You did good in a hurry, that's for sure. I would never pull this off when so pressed for time!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoyed your birthday and I am glad you got your journal page done in time. I love the colours and those bees xx

ReplyDeleteBelated Happy Birthday, Carol! What an amazing page. Youʻve taken such a variety of bits and created a beautiful, cohesive project. Hope you enjoyed your day.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, remember me? Sorry I have missed a few a few of your posts - only I have stopped receiving notifications by email. I just assumed that you was having a few days off crafting, my apologies. I hope you had a wonderful birthday, sorry I managed to miss that too.
ReplyDeleteAdorable page, the colours are just gorgeous and what a wonderful happy coincidence to have found all of those little bees.
Time for me to play catch-up now.
