Smash Your Stash-Postal

 Morning and as it's the last Saturday of the month time for the Smash Your Stash journal challenge with my blogging friend Vicki at Stamped Smiles. Hope you will check her brilliant blog out too.The prompt this month is "Postal" but I went slighty off pist with travel too lol.The background was just a mop up page -always use a journal page for mop ups, I added a postcard I had previously made  using stamps from an old Rubber Stampede set,some of the stamps fussy cut and added.

The digi postcards I found in the bottom of a little drawer after a declutter this week and getting rid of my craft desk and a load of craft stuff to the craft club at the local school my youngest Son and then his Daughters went to.I'm not giving up crafting just I can't be going up and down the stairs,so had a declutter on computer desk and brought main stuff downstairs so desk no longer needed and it was in our bedroom----so gone! Anyway I digress lol.Finally I added some old stamps which I found too so more stash smashed!!!

I love it! It looks like a fun trip you've taken and collected all of the memories along the way that you've sent postcards and I just love the postage stamps! I had so many of them! Doesn't it feel good to be able to clear some of those items we never seem to part with and are able to use up finally! It felt good to me too! Really brilliant colors on yours...I think mine was a little wonky! LOL Hope you have an excellent Easter weekend my friend!

That's a great journal page with the postage cancellations, letters and travel items all combined. It looks wonderful and best wishes decluttering as you go. I'm trying to do the same thing but not doing very well with it yet LOL

Valerie-Jael said...

Fabulous work, and well done on de-stashing, something I need to do, too!
