Smash Your Stash Journal Page

 Ooops a little late today but forgot to schedule and only just checked---

It's the last Saturday of the month so time for Smash Your Stash journal page challenge with Vicki from Stampedsmiles so hope you will check out her blog too she maked brilliant journal pages. The prompt this month was "Find something/anything to use"EDIT -have just checked Vickies page and app the prompt was anything green so checked the list I printed out and there is a space were the word green should be so sorry about that Vicki!

I found a mop up page in my Pink Pig journal so stamped the amaryllis flower and sentiment from Studio Light,stamped the flower head again and added,the flower stamps at the bottom and script stamp were craft mag freebies.Sunray stencil from My Favourite Things and the black lines were made with an elastic band wrapped around a piece of card.All coloured with promarkers.

It's such a beautiful Spring page with all of the flowers with the GREEN stems and I do see some greens in your wonderful background here, Carol! It looks like some sun rays want to come down on the flowers to warm them up! It has me feeling all of the Spring vibes for sure as I woke up to snow on the ground! **Please, no worries about being late at all! I got up really late this morning and I don't even notice if you are late or not! LOL (and when I printed out the prompt, I changed color on you that was probably hard to see GREEN printed! LOL) As long as you enjoy yourself creating that's all that matters my dear! Thank you for your wonderful inspiration always my friend! HUGS

Very different from something I would make, it’s both playful and artsy and it allowed you to use plenty of your stash. Well done!

It's too bad you missed the green prompt Carol, but this page is wonderful even without it. I am loving the big flower in the center (I'm not sure exactly what type it is) and how it is radiating golden joy. What a wonderful page for spring and for Valerie's challenge at AJJ. Thanks for joining us, and have a wonderful rest of your weekend and month too. Hugs-Erika

That's a grand Amaryllis stamp Carol, lovely how the bulb is included. Vicki's challenge sounds fabulous with it's prompts... but I do see green in your wonderful journal page. I very much love the sunburst cast around the central image, so radiating. Thanks for sharing over @ Creative Artiste, best wishes in our January challenge. Hugs TRacey xx

Wonderful background for your journal and super selection of images too.

Wow, a mop up page! What a beautiful outcome, Carol.

Dee's Craft Room said...

Another fab journal page Carol. I think you managed to get some green in there! I love the effect you got from wrapping the elastic band around some card - in fact, all of your distressing looks great.
