Smash Your Stash Journal Page

 Morning and last Saturday of the month and it's time for the Smash Your Stash journal page challenge with Vicki from Stamped Smiles so please check out her brilliant blog too.The prompt this month is "material"and I found a lst scrap of adhesive material must have had for years and wasn't big enough to do anything with-so what do you do keep it just in case lol.

I adhered it onto a partially stencilled background(already done,two pieces of self adhesive hessian,some black threads and a flower I made out of a scrap of lace,the black gem was from stash.Weird just realised I used Alices colours.


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

 

EDIT------

Sorry this was late again Vicki but forgot to schedule last night as would you believe it our little dog Alice who has been unwell-took a turn for the worse last night,then passed away this morning bless her.

I'm so very sorry for the loss of your sweet Alice my friend, I'm holding you in my heart right now.
Your page is beautiful with that lovely lace flower you've made and the material squares layered beneath! I don't sew hardly at all, but of course I have everything someone needs to sew with for some reason! LOL Glad I was able to use some scraps I saved too! Please take care. HUGS

Sending heartfelt sympathy your way after losing your precious Alice last night. You certainly have had a lot to deal with lately and I send warmest hugs for comfort in the midst of all that's going on in your life. I don't know how you found time to create but good for you using up those older oddments to create something. Take care Carol

Carol so sorry you lost your fur baby xx your creation is beautiful as always

Leslie Miller said...

Oh, goodness, Carol... after reading about Alice I can't think of anything else. You know how I love dogs and it makes me weak in the knees to think of your loss. Our loss of Wally and LuLu still feels so fresh. Alice was an adorable little girl and you must have loved her so much. I'm sorry. Taking another look at your art piece, it's clever of you to pull this together from limited supplies. Makes me think of my sewing days. I enjoyed that, but paper crafting is better. Hugs.

Sad to read about your Alice, must be awful for you, pets are just amazing aren't they.
Great page, I love fabrics on art work, I don't do so much of that now, maybe I should get my box of scraps out and give it a go again.
