I seem to be loosing followers rapidly - I know it's something to do with changes to Google, but it still hurts cause part of me thinks oooh they are not my friend anymore. Oh well I'll just have to trot down the garden eating worms.
Anyway onto the fun stuff. I'm so in love with the dictionary challenge over at the Craft Barn. This time the letter is Q which at first had the same effect on me as a 'man card', but I have had so much fun creating this and tons of hassle too!
Which dipstick drew a line in black ink to the wrong definition - that led to the arrow system going all round the page! Not ideal but not bad for a quick thinking cover up!
My word is QUARTER and in Italian UN QUARTO. This is probably not the fastest way to learn a language, but it sure is fun.
I completed the first page and then seeing a huge white space on page 2 decided to extend the design and continue the theme of a quarter. I drew a rectangle - divided it into 4 and then did some zentangling on one of the sections. After I had done that the other sections didn't look quite right so I covered them with black and a pearl paper. Then I realised that not only was I illustrating the word QUARTER but had inadvertently covered the word QUILT (in Italian UNA TRAPUNTA). Clever eh?
Not my favourite page, but working in a book means that if something goes wrong 'you're up the creek with no paddle' so to speak so the page will have to do.
I wonder what the next letter will be?

Tee, hee - there's a few of us in the same boat Annie! Before long we'll outnumber those not having problems I'm sure :)
I love this - especially the meandering arrow - which got there in the end!

Yesterday I lost 20, yes 20 followers. I was heartbroken, but knew it was going to happen. Still didn't think I'd lose so many.
I really like the way you managed to cover up your mistake. In fact, if you hadn't told us, we probably would not have known. I really like this, too, because Q can be a rather troublesome letter (especially if playing Scrabble and have no U showing on the board). This was a truly FUN entry.
I think you have enough arrows for a quiver so your mistake was a happy accident! The good thing about a fortnightly challenge going on for a year is that you have 25 other pages you can be happy with.
FAB project . . . I'm all for a little tangling.
My followers numbers are doing the tango . . .up and down all over the place. NOT taking it personally!
Anyway . . . to allay your fears and relax, come up to the Playground Treehouse for happy hour!

Mistakes?...what?...where? Never saw any! Boy do your words sound ever so familiar! But, you've pulled it off nicely. And Scrapmate threw in another word for you with your quiver of arrows. Your whole page spread is quite cleverly done.
Wow- this project looks like a lot of fun! Thank you for sharing with us at Crafty Gals Corner.

Beautiful pages! Thanks so much for playing Simon Says Stamp Wednesday “Anything Goes” Challenge!
A very Quirky page with the the arrow maze!
Love your quirky arrow maze and clean look to your pages. You may think you made a mistake, but I think it just enhanced the final result!
A great Q page and I enjoyed reading your blog post. Those arrows tying this together look great.
Great project, love your Zentangle :)
Really bold and striking. Works well with the dictionary background x
Personally I'm happy if my dictionary page fits the remit and doesn't look too ugly! I'd be pretty chuffed with yours...
Wow, that's a fabulous piece of art.
Your pages are beautiful. I love the zentangle!
mistakes or oopses (outstanding opportunities presenting suddenly) are all part of the process
Amazing pages, I love them.

Lovely page layout Annie, quick thinking with the arrows! Lou x
Fantastic, just love the idea and the arrow directions. That looks like a fabulous dictionary to work in.
Great pages in your dictionary.
