Not so hot...

Sometimes, despite your best efforts, it doesn't matter what you do, a LO is destined for failure. I think this one of them. It was for the number challenge over at Challenge Heaven. My first mistake was deciding that the 4pps were in fact 4 photos - hmm, oh well I could work with that. Then I decided to use Heidi Swapp chipboard alphas and forgot that the adhesive doesn't stick so the title fell off again - ok so I fixed that with Pritt.

But then on reflection it looked kind of unbalanced so I decided to use the stitching template I bought a million years ago and have never used. Sounds simple right? Well, one of disadvantages of having a militant feminist for a mother (apart from the obvious of not being allowed to own a barbie doll) was that when I showed neither the aptitude or inclination to learn to sew as a child she didn't berate me but concentrated on my brothers acquiring that particular skill instead lol. The point of this story? Those swirly things were really hard to do!! And the LO still looked dodgy!

Hmm, if at first you don't succeed, add something else - how about some glimmer mist? Sure! Uh oh, the spray jammed and misfired to the side, resulting in me and one of the photos wearing the pink mist and then, to add insult to injury, the silly thing dripped all over the page.

So, here it is, my first LO of 2011 - I really hope the next one turns out better!


Happy New Year!
