A few more SMASH pages!

Hi All

As part of my 30 before 30 list, I really want to try and finish my red SMASH book! It is full of bits and bobs as it is my first one so I have made another two random pages over the last few weeks.

My first one to share with you today is another one inspired by Austen. My Mum and I really want to go and visit some more of the film locations of the 1995 P+P and I really want to go and see the various houses she has lived in. Hope you like it-I have popped all of the places on the page and hope to tick them off in the future!

Here are some close ups of each side!

Hope you like it. My second page (so my quota of 2 a month has been completed this month!) is of my little fluffball-Charlie cat! I have recently bought a Fuji Instax camera and have loved having my first play with it, taking pictures of the cat….not sure he appreciated it much! So I just had to SMASH these piccies and he has been on my list to do for a while. I also used a little technique I saw Rosemerry Merry and Dean WIlson (C+C) using this morning which was to make your paper look more like a ripped page out of a notebook-this was to punch the side and then cut a little slit from the edge…looks really effective! Hope you like it, I have kept it quite simple…

And a few close ups…

Love the vintage feel of the piccies! The top one is my fave as he looks like a little kitten but he is 10 years old!!

Hope you like them and if you haven’t discovered SMASHing yet, go on YouTube and check out a wonderful array of videos…you will be hooked as soon as you start!

In other updates on my ‘30 before 30’ list, I have read nearly three books this month from my ‘30 books to read’ list, ready to send out my first RAK this week (said I’d try and do this every month), have de-cluttered one spare room, December Daily is being prepped…and lots of other things in progress! October has been very productive!

Hope you are all ok…will try to get round and see you all, five more days at work then it is half-term…woop! Finally, some free time!

Hugs
Arline
