Not what I intended


Well, I finally finished a page that has taken me nearly all weekend. It should have been a quick and easy one, but it seemed like everything on it was a struggle. Every time I hit a wall, I changed my idea to deal with the obstacle. I wanted to print directly on the red paper, but the printer wouldn't print on the paper. So then I decided I would print the paragraph on vellum and attach it. But then the printer wouldn't print on vellum. So I gave up and put it on plain old paper. Then I decided to add the wavy cut to the mat. The first one the Cricut tore up and didn't cut 1/2 of the last side. I decided to give it one more shot and it cut okay, but not perfectly the second time. Finally, I had all the pieces and got it put together, but I didn't feel any of the usual peace and calm that scrapping give me.
The only thing that went together well was the Betty Boop svg that I found on Nancy's Creative Papercrafts.
