U is for .............

Haven't managed to do a dictionary page this week, sadly lacking in energy and still have extremely painful hands and wrists, very frustrating, I'm not good at not being well!

Had a look through my big dictionary and found a few interesting words, unicycle/unicorn/union jack/upbeat/unconventional and upside down but I settled on the word URCHIN - raggedly dressed, mischievious child- now I was tempted to use an old photo of myself and siblings but thought they might not be amused!  remembered this Lindsey Mason Stamp and quote which I thought really fitted the meaning of the word so made a page for my 4x4 fat book.

I also liked the word Umbell - type of flowers, found this little quote for Umbellifers ,used pan pastels white embossing and overstamped with cobalt blue, another page for the fat book.

  2. Hello Joan
    I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with your hands, I am not good at being well either, I get a little grumpy!
    Your first page is just adorable, it is a great image, and the sentiment is so suited.
    Your second has a completely different feel, but nonetheless gorgeous and has a wistfulness about it. I love them both.
    Smiles:)

  12. Wow - two great pages and I can't decide which one I like best. I think I'll have to go with Urchin because the quote fits one of my kids to a T. Love your backgrounds. MMx
