As I went through all my U words to see what I could find for this Alpha Challenge at The Craft Barn, the words that stood out I seemed to have already used the stamp images for other words... Umbrella....I had used my Umbrella Man for "weather" so on sorting through my boxes of stamps I thought Underwater................now I know I have a mermaid and some fishes somewhere............well they seem to have swum off ......when I came across the stamp I have used.....
when I saw it I immediately knew that it fitted the "ill tempered" part of the definition....what do you think lol
She really really looks miffed at something, I have kept it simple so not to detract from that face! Page was distressed with antique linen ink and washed with water, Stamp is a PaperArtsy set I have had since I began stamping many years ago and had forgotten about....shame on me...... I stamped in versamark and embossed in black, corner is one of Tim's stamps which is embossed in black.
I found this a hard challenge as most of the stamps I had already used fitted and it was hard not to take the easy option and use them again......I really LOVE Umbrella Man and it was sooooo hard not to do " Umbrella" lol
Hope you have enjoyed looking and I must pop over to The Craft Barn and take a look at all the entries I'm very behind this time.
till next time
Certainly made me smile at your word choice and the stamp too. I think you have captured the essence really well. BJ
ReplyDeleteThank you BJ
DeleteLovely page, she sure has an ugly expression! Valerie
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, she does look a bit ill-tempered and ugly! I love the simplicity of your page design. I think that stamp with her expression would make into a fun bunch of cards.

ReplyDeletei wouldnt want to upset her thats for sure. Great page.

Fab page... Great stamp choice for your word...she's definitely in an ugly mood.. that's for sure :)
ReplyDeletePerfect for U challenge. Glad you didn't use Umbrella as I suspect there will be quite a few of those especially with the weather we have been having! Your not as late as me. I have my word chosen but must get a shifty on or I will miss the deadline again. Thanks for the reminder. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteShe does look p....d off about something. Great choice of word.
ReplyDeletegreat idea using this stamp, she really fits the challenge perfectly. Annette x
ReplyDeleteHi Maggie, another page done in plenty of time.I am still working on mine and only started yesterday!I think I would look pretty grumpy it I had to live back then so very lucky I don't.See you next challenge.
ReplyDeleteWonderful page Maggie and a difficult word to illustrate.
ReplyDeleteLove Chrissie x
This challenge is good for unearthing forgotten stamps, miffed is a great word too.
ReplyDeleteYes she does look a bit ugly but your page is great!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful word choice with an ugly mood that lady has for sure. I would tell my kids - you don't want to be ugly do you!!

Sometimes you just know when you've got the right stamp for the job, and Mrs Grumpypants is perfect! MMx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab image! Love this page Maggie! xx
ReplyDeleteThat's a really clever page Maggie. Love it. Hugs, Jenny x
ReplyDeleteOh Maggie, she does look stern! That is a great word to use. I thought I was going to be the only upholstery page but by the time I posted it I had been beaten to it! I was going to do UK and maybe Underwear but didn't have time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and commenting! I feel like adding to the note to say that I have tried all three comment options and the other two were worse behaved than the one I have!
(People keep trying to helpfully tell me if I change the comment to a different option it will sort it).
Now I have to try and keep up the standard of the page I just did, oh boy, and I am thinking I should put some of that on a card too!
