And now for the letter T


Hello there subjects, yes, that's right, now that the royal bearby is here I have changed my name to Georgie Podgy, but you can call me your highness. I've deigned to give you a moment of my precious time to show you my page for the alpha challenge over at Craft Barn.

Thos fortnight the chosen letter is T, we had a fair selection of words to choose from our French / English dictionary, being that we set ourselves the extra challenge of only using words that are the same in both English and French. I decided to use the word triple. Why? I have no idea, so why not.

I already had a green stained right hand page next to my designated page, so my colour scheme was chosen for me - greenish! With that in mind I dug out my distress stains ( you know, they always seem quite happy to be used, never in distress at all)




Remember the alcohol and distress ink exbeariments Horace tried a little while back? I thought I'd utilise those for my project




Along with our fabulous Stampotique monster stamp




Which I stamped in the bears' inimitable way




I thought I'd make use of these thickers, as they fit in with my colour scheme.




And I look rather fetching in them!!!




After I'd finished decorating myself, I finished the alpha page.




I suppose you want a picture of the page on its own? No idea why as it looks far better with me in it!




With love from the bears

  4. T is also for Terrific - terrific work! Funny word that, not 'that' but 'terrific' as its like terrify - and I wouldn't want to meet that monster on a dark night - nor probably in the daylight LOL. T is also for T-shirt - thats cool - great words - very modest ....mmmmm.... have a great weekend xxx p.s T is also for throne which no doubt you'll be sitting on quite a lot now :)
