That&#8217;s so absolutely NOT me. Why did I do that? I really don&#8217;t know and I didn&#8217;t like it one bit. So I put other colours over it. It became a mess. By that time, I was really irritated and wiped it of with an old paper &#8211; and look at it!<br \/>\nI was surprised\u00a0by the\u00a0beautiful result.<br \/>\nIt\u00a0suddenly looked\u00a0like an old wall in a broken house or something.<br \/>\nI couldn&#8217;t use it in any way for the project I had in mind, but I certainly\u00a0keep it\u00a0in store\u00a0for another project. By the time I was finished painting &amp; wiping of, I hadn&#8217;t enough chipboard left to start over again, and being frustrated about that I\u00a0decided to let it rest for a while.\u00a0This is an important\u00a0lesson I learned through the years of scrapbooking:\u00a0you\u00a0gotta know when to stop!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/maritspaperworld.com\/old-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/004_atc_cards.jpg\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/maritspaperworld.com\/old-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/02_atc_cards.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-909\" title=\"02_atc_cards\" src=\"https:\/\/maritspaperworld.com\/old-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/02_atc_cards-300x185.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"185\" \/><\/a>I did something completely different &#8211;\u00a0I spend the rest of the day making ATC&#8217;s (Artist Trading Cards)<br \/>\nusing\u00a0left-over pieces of paper and stuff. I wanted to do that earlier, but completely forgot about ATC&#8217;s untill I read about it again in one of those scrapmagazines. It was fun to create\u00a0those little cards.<\/p>\n<p>This week, I bought chipboard and the mini book I had in mind is coming along well now. (I love my new stamps!) It is not finished yet\u00a0&#8217;cause I have problems with the English journaling (there may slip misspells in\u00a0my posts too&#8230; sorry for that! My English is not on a professional level!) and I want it just right! Well, I&#8217;m puzzling. The\u00a0English\u00a0dictionary travels along with me throught the house these days. Have patience. Take a look at &#8220;most recent lay out&#8221; in a few days, and my project may show up there (and ofcourse in my gallery).
