Smash Your Stash Journal Page

 Morning and as it's the last Saturday on the month time for the last one of the year  Smash Your Stash Journal page challenge with my talented blogging friend Vicki from Stamped Smiles. Hope you will check out her blog she makes brilliant journal pages and cards too.Have enjoyed these challenges with you Vicki and your inspiration.

The challenge this month is---Take a previous prompt and re-create something new so I revisited last months -Stencils challenge and used three different stencil and oxide inks and just had a play.The Dragonfly stamp was a craft mag freebie years ago and I just doodled round the edges. I also have another negative background from cleaning the stencils too.This is my last post for this year so would like to wishing you all the best for a Happy New Year and thank you for all the comments you have left on my blog throughout the year.



 

 Any challenges with digi image prizes I amjust playing for fun/and support as no printer!
