More altered dictionary fun...

I think when my daughter discovers what I am up to she will finally accept that I'm cracking up.  It's such a weird concept changing a perfectly good dictionary, but then again it's such fun and I'm not the only one crazy enough to enjoy it so what the heck.  Carry on being crazy is what I say!
I'm not even using an English dictionary, but one I bought some time ago when I was learning Italian.  I didn't get very far, but at least doing this I am learning some new words.  Not sure how useful 'una renna' and 'un galletto' (cockerel) will be though.
Today's page uses the crazy little stamp that Sir Stampalot sent in my box of sale goodies.  It's Penny Black so it stamps beautifully, but I'm not so used to stamping on to open books so I'm pressing on a bit hard at the moment and smudging the print.  It's not easy holding a book open with one hand and stamping with the other.  Oh the trials we crafters go through.
Challenges...
Have a great day everyone.

Wouldn't if be fun if dictionaries were like this when you bought them.
Try laying something heavy across the two pages to hold them down while you stamp.

Love the idea of updating the dictionary with cute images and words, very creative I say! Thanks for joining us at Lexi's Creations for our 'Anything Goes' challenge!

Clever and fun! I think my boys might be more interested in the Dictionary if I started altering ours. Thank you for sharing with us at Make it Monday.
