Smash Your Stash Journal Page Challenge

 Sorry Vicki-I am late posting as a neighbour rang to take me shopping then came back for a drink and had an after-noon of putting the world to right lol.

Last Saturday of another month and time for Smash Your Stash journal page challenge with my blogging friend Vicki of Stamped Smiles so hope you will check out her inspirational blog.

The prompt this month is "Favourite Things" and I picked flowers and Bees. The stamps are from AALL&Create, Chocolate Baroque  and IndigoBlu, coloured with promarkers-the flowers are paper pieced with paper from Paper Boutique and stencilled background with stencils from Stencil Girl.


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

This page is so pretty. I love the flowers and bees. I have wanted to start journal pages for so long. Maybe, I'll get a book and start one soon. Is that watercolor paper ?

I can tell that you've certainly used your favorite things and had fun with them because this is really gorgeous Carol! I adore your little bees and the pattern flowers are very cool! The grass border at the bottom is the perfect background for this design as well! Very nicely done and has me longing for warm Spring weather for sure! Thank you for all of your fabulous inspiration my friend! Sorry for my lateness, I've been super busy and now just trying to catch up! Crafty hugs
