Smash Your Stash Journal Page

 A week late but finally here is my Smash Your Stash for the journal page challenge with Vicki  at Stamped Smiles.Please check out her brilliant page.

The background was a pre made one from a couple of years ago which was made with if I remember rightly Gelatos.The heart was from a colouring book,coloured with coloured pencils and cut in half then almost glued back together.The half frames were from some papers I was sent and the love is all around circle stamp from Sweet Dixie and a bit of doodling round the heart.

We now have John in a bed downstairs so at least not stuck upstairs on his own all day,and next to a double window overlooking the garden -mind you alreadt told us it needs weeding !!!!!

Happiness is Cats

 Morning and first of May so three DT posts today-the second one is for the Cats/Dogs challenge at 

Pearly Sparkles.Now I may have gone slight overboard on the cats but not sorry in the slightest lol we have three black cats.The full cat die is an X-Cut the stamped cat is Mooch from Lavinia Stamps which was gifted to me in a card swap.The die-cut cats heads are all loose in a plastic bag and can't remember the make -yes should have written it on the bag but no need because I will remember-yer right !!!The little Robin(coloured with polychromos pencils) is an AALL&Create stamp,film strip stamp from Chocolate Baroque,stencil from My Favourite Things and the distress ink marks were a test made with some kind of plastic packaging.
