Here is a fun project to do. I found this tutorial over on Char's blog. Easy to follow with measurements and pictures. I used three different papers to cover the tp roll (final measurements the same as Char's tutorial). As I was working on this project I noticed that I glued the wrong end of one of the tubes so my stamped image (Monkey Business) was going to end upside down when I put the album together. Don't you just love these moments. hehehe.
So here I am trying to think how am I going to make this work. What can I do to fix this so it won't look like a huge mistake. Well I got to thinking one of the other stamped images was of a monkey hanging upside down from a tree branch. Could I get that branch to line up and not mess it up even more? Wouldn't know if I didn't try so I did.
I stamped another monkey (same image as mistaken upside down one). Cut it out right up to the line. I set it right over the top of my mistaken monkey. I used the brush end of my black Impress maker inked the branch of the tree only and then stamped the branch over my cut out image. I had a few spots where the black ink didn't show up so I used a thin black pen to draw in the line. There was a line I didn't want either which was the other monkey's foot but I drew a line to connect the branch so now the foot looks like a knot in the branch.
One final thing I needed to do fill in the space below the money. I wrote Just Hanging Out using my carmine Impress maker which matches the pink paper from the Winterberry Collection that I used. The space looked odd so it needed to be filled in.
So when you make a mistake on a project give it a chance. You may just find a wonderful way to fix it and have a lot of fun doing it. Even with making my mistake in the beginning I enjoyed this project and I will be making more.
