Smash Your Stash

 Morning and as it's the last Saturday of the month it's the Smash Your Stash journal page challenge with Vicki who makes brilliant journal pages so please check her blog Stamped Smiles.

Now this was not the page I planned or the images but as my ink pad needs replacing had to use the smaller images and more peel offs from way back.

The challenge this month is Anything Shiney /Sparkly sooo I embossed some Bees and Butterflies and had to use a seperate page to put in my journal as my Versamark pad needs replacing and journal wouldn't fit in my Stamp Perfect.I embossed the Bees(Choc Baroque) in gold and the Butterflies(Docrafts) in silver.

Stencils from Stencil Girl and Creative Expressions,cardboard heart and dewdrops from stash.

Recycling and Oddments

 Morning I was making a card yesterday and whilst cutting  a 5"x7"card blank I found a slimline card and a few leftover dies, a couple of recycled images off a card received, a background strip that just fitted cut off a tissue box -so more recycling,then an already stamped and matted sentiment-and die-cuts left over from another card--so--- a card made all by itself with no credit to me although I did provide the glue lol.

Scented Blooms

 Morning and time for the midway inspiration post at Stamping Sensations.The challenge is Anything Stamped/CAS and we are sponsored by Craftstash with a great prize to win.

I found these offcuts of black card that looked like pic frames so I glued them ontop of the images which are all from ALL&Create coloured with promarkers and faux stitching round the edges with a fine black liner pen.(card already claimed lol)
