This one was going to be a 9x12 size. I spent hours padding the chipboard bases, gluing and cutting some very precious fabric, (like Japanese import stuff quilting shops sell for ££) putting in the spine, riveting etc etc. Really cuffed to bits with it - go to put my page protectors in.... oh no, I made the album 9x12 perfectly totally forgetting about the page protectors being larger for the spine bits. doh doh doh.

I always practice on scrap paper first to get the amount of ink and pressure right, but as soon as a stamp goes near my page I mess it up - either smudges from the edge of the stamp or an incomplete image.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445297702315581135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791007677936096211.post-5198608407106025702017-05-08T11:47:03.792+01:002017-05-08T11:47:03.792+01:00The Worst Scrapbooking Fail EVER!!!!!!

I completely covered 2 pieces of card stock with random chipboard alphas of all sizes, it was a beautiful jigsaw of alphas covering every inch of the card from top to bottom. I painstakingly painted the entire thing black with acrylic paint so that they both looked like a blackboard with lovely embossed letters on the background. It took 3 coats of paint and the entire thing took nearly 24 hours from start to finish. I used them to back a fab picture of each of my twin nephews with school awards that they had recently won. It was a true labour of love... but it looked absolutely amazing!! I proudly hung them on the wall and was chuffed to bits when it was voted the challenge winner at the retreat.... I proudly walked up to collect my prize and Lorraine our crop organiser whispered with a sad face and a big sigh.....<br /><br />You didn't cut the manufacturers strip off on either page..... <br /><br />Epic fail �� Although I can laugh about it now they still don't fit in my page protectors or album and I still haven't figured out a way to fix it!!! And it's still a topic of conversation at the. Rips whenever I start a new layout.. lol Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16407937186652198013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791007677936096211.post-41538855096432692722017-05-08T10:54:35.362+01:002017-05-08T10:54:35.362+01:00I've also scrapped the same photo twice by mis...I've also scrapped the same photo twice by mistake!

I was really proud of the finished page too, but when I went to put it in my album I had already scrapped that photo! I must have really loved the photo to have 2 copies of it ;) I don't really know what to do with the spare page so they're just both in my album now!Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07963681364225384275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791007677936096211.post-51995242563913258012017-05-07T17:56:32.907+01:002017-05-07T17:56:32.907+01:00My biggest fail would have to be getting glue on m...My biggest fail would have to be getting glue on my photos!
