Smash Your Stash Journal Page

 A week late but finally here is my Smash Your Stash for the journal page challenge with Vicki  at Stamped Smiles.Please check out her brilliant page.

The background was a pre made one from a couple of years ago which was made with if I remember rightly Gelatos.The heart was from a colouring book,coloured with coloured pencils and cut in half then almost glued back together.The half frames were from some papers I was sent and the love is all around circle stamp from Sweet Dixie and a bit of doodling round the heart.

We now have John in a bed downstairs so at least not stuck upstairs on his own all day,and next to a double window overlooking the garden -mind you alreadt told us it needs weeding !!!!!



 PLEASE NOTE IF ANY CHALLENGES HAVE DIGIS FOR PRIZES-I AM JUST PLAYING FOR FUN AND SUPPORT AS I HAVE NO PRINTER

Glad your John is giving good 'advice', it sounds like he's feeling a bit better. Sending hugs and prayers. Love your heart with the two different sides. I smashed some stash yesterday when I spilled coffee over everything....Hugs, Valerie

Wonderful that John is closer to where you are during the day. Love the journal page. I always wanted to start one, but have no idea where to even begin.

Great solution keeping your hubby always with you and with something beautiful to see, good for him and for you all! His words about the grass made me smile... :)
Fabulous AJ page, love so much that heart with the different two halves and your Gelatos background!
Hugs

Wow, this makes me stand up and take notice! Beautiful with all the color and fun design. I'm glad to hear John is better situated now with a window onto the garden. My garden needs work, too, but it's not so pleasant in the rain.

I am so pleased that John is comfortable and enjoying the garden he will be able to supervise the gardener lol. I love your very colourful and detailed page Carol I like how you have halved the heart and coloured it differently I would never think of that which is why seeing other peoples creations bring me so much joy
hugs
lolo x

It sounds like the change of scenery did John a world of good so that he can now enjoy the garden! I'm sure he feels better being in the center of his life again too. Your journaling page is lovely with the colorful heart and all of the elements you added. It's bright and cheerful and always better late than never, right?

Wow! Your coloring page hearts split is such a clever idea Carol! I love it so much and I honestly need to remember to do this! I love your split snippets added to this and your wonderfully colorful background! I'm so glad you were able to take some time to play around with this theme my friend! I just love it! Glad to hear John is able to stay downstairs and rest to enjoy the garden view. Sending hugs
