The Craft Barn Alpha Challenge
Hello Everyone
A beautiful sunny day here though still very cold when I got up at 6 am. We have a busy day planned so thought I would start my crafting early today.
This time the letter is A at the The Craft Barn and no twists at all.
I chose the word Author and meant this to be a tribute to my favourite author, playwright, poet. All was going well as I painted the pages with H20 paints and added various shades of Distressed Stain for the background. I had a wonderful image of Shakespeare already to print onto a page so what could go wrong? I had printed the image upside down--sob sob. I thought that I could remedy this by adding the image to the other page and blow me I did the same thing again. So the page is upside down and I worked on it that way,
Apologies to Shakespeare as the page became personalised with my daft joke revue. I think he might have liked it as so many of his works have made me laugh out loud--mostly at times when I shouldn't have done:(
Thanks for dropping by
Love Chrissie xx
Fabulous choice of word Chrissie...lovely pages...I didn't even notice your pages were upside down.. (I'm always printing the wrong way.. usually on the wrong side of the paper!! lol) The clever addition of the little review is a great touch.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great DPS. when you have completed your dictionary and you look back at your pages this one will make you smile.
ReplyDeleteI think your pages are super whatever way up they are. BJ
ReplyDeleteYour faux pas made me laugh Chrisse, it's so taxing on the brain trying to figure out which way to feed the paper into the printer! Great pages. Xx
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of word and I didn't know Shakespeare was Australian LoL

Oh this is great and I do like it when things do not go as you planned but turn out just as good if not better than expected. Love it.xx
ReplyDeleteFantastic pages and very creative, I wouldn't have noticed they were upside down, good to know its not just me who improvises.

Being upside down makes them unique! Love the page and the man himself would definitely approve! xx
ReplyDeleteBrilliant - well done for not giving up on your pages and making up a review to explain it!!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant... and what a hilarious read - sorry, but it did make me laugh when you managed to print him upside down the second time!! I agree with BJ that the pages still work beautifully, and I love the chalky colours of the background... I think WS would have been more than happy to (like TH) embrace imperfection!
