It's ages since I played around with the dictionary I started after spotting a group on Facebook who were altering dictionary pages just for fun, but when I saw the new challenge at the Craft Barn it seemed like a really good time to start again.
My dictionary is an English/Italian one so at the same time as playing I can learn some Italian words!
This time the challenge is to illustrate the letter 'B' so I chose to illustrate the word 'baby'. To create my pages about 'b' I used a clear stamp set with lots of different baby type images on and stamped them across the two pages. Then I coloured each of them with Spectrum Noir pencils.
Great fun to do and really relaxing. What better way to spend a very cold Sunday in January.

Annie - that is so stinkin' cute! What a great project - and I love that the color is so transparent that everything is still readable.

How lovely to learn some Italian words at the same time as doing a dictionary challenge. The images on your page are coloured beautifully.
Thank you for your comment on my attempt at a dictionary page, much appreciated.

Aw, this is so sweet!
This looks like a super dictionary to use for the Craft Barn challenge, and a really wonderful start, too. I envy your stamping and coloring abilities. They are really superb. I look forward to seeing how this dictionary progresses.
What a sweet page, beautifully stamped and coloured. I sat in on ten weeks of Italian lessons once. The only word I have remembered is la principessa! (I'll let you look it up!!) Lou x
What a super idea, I really like this idea and the fact that you can still read the words through the images x
What a lovely little dictionary and a great start too. Loved the images and colouring x
Such a cute page, love the idea of using the dictionary pages as background :)
This is so cute. I also did some coloring past Saturday while taking care of my sick son.
Beautiful colouring and a great start to the 2016 challenge.
