Smash Your Stash-Metal

 Morning and wow last Saturday of the month so soon ---so time for the Smash Your Stash Journal page challenge with my talented blogging friend Vicki who makes amazing journal pages.The prompt this month was "Metal" ans I certainly raided my stash for this one lol.I found another pre-made background in my journal,I always use the pages for left over ink and cleaning stencils.

I embossed some matt mirri card with a TH embossing folder and swiped over with black acrylic,die-cut some cogs, and found a metal themed tag I made for a tag swap which got cancelled a couple of years ago.Agged some can tags,metal scre brads and a screwdriver brad I found,the two cornewr pices and shape the screwdriver is on were die-cut waste and then I found a large flower die-cut from metal I have had for years -think that was a TH die too.Hope you will pop over and check out Vickis blog too.

Wow wow wow Carol this is so cool! I LOVE all of the wonderful metal goodies you've found in your stash! There are so many details to admire about it from the embossed metallic flower, the tag, the pop tabs and even the wonderful robotic images and gears! I need to remember to grab some larger papers for left over inks to use later for scraps...I never remember, and things just go into the trash bin...maybe I will learn from you! Thanks for your wonderful inspiration, friend!
