Sea Themed ATC set

Morning and my second post today is for the Sea Life challenge chosen by Caz for

Dragonfly Dreams. Sorry but this is the nearest to sea themes I have and decided to make a set of ATCs not made any for a long time using a Seagull stamp from Crafty Individuals and the sea set from someone on a a FB craft declutter page put them in a folder and completely forgotten whose they are!!! I added promarkers and distress ink round the cards.

Smash Your Stash Journal Page

~~Morning~~ Evening -I am so sorry Vicki, life has not finished with me yet and this month has just run away with me and couldn't believe it was the last Saturday in the month so time for the Smash your Stash Journal challenge with Vicki from Stamped Smiles who makes brilliant journal pages so please check her blog. The prompt this month was recycle/upcycle and my page this month is totally recycled.

The background was already made, the leaves in the corner was from packaging, the strip at the top was recycled from a kitchen roll inner- all the rest was a complete recycled-even the wax seal-from a card I received in a card swap and kept it because I loved it- now have it for ever to look at instead of in a box.
