Smashing!

Yay! Here's a video to show you the goodies I won from Chriss, Chriss and Lou. 

{Sorry for the shaky camera.  My desk was a mess and no room for the tripod.  I'm easily distracted by shiny things, including foil on paper! LOL}

The product was donated by The Paper Parade.  They currently have a Father's Day Sale, everything is 20% off, go check them out sale ends June 17, wait there's more! LOL  In honor of Lisa's (owner) Mom's birthday, you can get 25% off one item and you can use the two discounts together...woohoo!!

So onto my Smash pages.  I'm trying to lose weight and I'm on my second week of juicing!  So I decided to start a Smash book to document my weight loss.  Here are the pages:

The border, top note and journal tag from Nan's Favourite Collection.  I stamped the background using stamp set Back2Basics by The Stamps of Life.
I'm so happy the collection as plenty of journal spots, I can even use the recipe cards to journal on!  I created the title so that the letters overlapped, then used Amy Chomas micro marker holder to draw, then cut with my Cricut.  I haven't used my machine in like forever! LOL 

The Paper Parade, The Stamps of Life and Chomas Creations are all Link Up for Pink sponsors. Yay!

Thanks for stopping by!! :)

May your day....

...be as special as you. 

   
I used Latina Crafter's stamp set, "Mi Flor Favorita" I won on their blog hop.   I used both the sketch and photo inspiration on their blog, images and links below.
 I stamped the large flower with blue chalk ink and then embossed to give it texture.  I created the pink flowers with the small flower stamp; I cut a couple of petals on two of the stamped flowers, then layered them to create the dimensional flowers.

Be Joyful Always

I used three different stamp set by The Stamps of Life; Butterfly2Build, Praises4Him and Branches4Flowers.
Using the flowers from Branches4Flowers set, I stamped the background paper and created the yellow and blue flowers next to the sentiment.  I used Purple Cows, Summer Punch It to create the corners.  The music and chevron papers are by My Mind's Eye and Echo Park.

Both The Stamps of Life and Purple Cows are Link Up for Pink sponsors.
