 Morning and the last Saturday of the month means its's a Smash Your Stash journal day with Vicki at Stamped Smiles hope you will pop over and check out her journal page.

The theme this month is recycled items/thrifted items to upcycle/pieces of magazine /gift wrap.

I used my Pink Pink journal and found a page that was used for mop ups.I added a piece of coruggated card coloured with  aqau marker,the roses are from a piece of gift wrap and the Japanese newspaper was from errrrr oops no idea had it for years lol hope it's the right way up!

I found an oddment of lace and made a flower -added a recycled Bee from a birthday card and glued them both onto a dried tea bag.The TH die-cut leaf was a left over and I found a feather on the floor from the Lovebird so slipped that in too,the little tag was Graphic 45 and cut a piece from an old dictionary page.

My favourite Make so far

 Morningand hope you are all well? Thank you for all your comments about Johns eye he is doing okay and has a check up on the 14th.Bought him an eye patch as it was affecting his balance-only had white so he painted it black-as it looked more interesting lol.Sadly we have also lost his Brother who passed away on Tuesday.

I found this blog post at Nigezza Creates and inspired me to have a go(sorry about all the pics-no I'm not lol)I really enjoyed making this one!

I needed double side papers so found some I have had for years! Everything used was from oddments box or paper drawer and no new stuff used all the paper elements were cut out of other papers-the Bee/Rose/price labels/number strip-the signature was made using paper/book pages/doily and the little hare stamp was a craft mag freebie years ago.-I stamped on the papers and tags with loads of little craft mag freebie stamps,will definitely have another go at one of these.Made a slimline notebook to go in first pocket.
