the letter Z.............let's think.....o, I know.......

ZOMBIE!!!!!!!!!!!

Over at the Craft Barn blog the new Alpha dictionary challenge started, and the letter is Z........

Well my beloved followers, I guess you all saw this coming, letter Z can be only one thing in my dictionary.......

I can't work in a dictionary, it's too small for me so I had to cut the word out and glue it to my page, I don't normally cut things out of books, they are kinda sacred .....so I have a very old English-Dutch dictionary that i use for these challenges. Can you believe the word Zombie wasn't in there, what kind of dictionary is that, the most important Z word not in there...........

Luckely my son has a dictionary, he needs that for school, I asked him if Zombie was in there and ............

Yay it was!!!

Well not anymore................I know.....I  am a bad example for my kids, but hey, they think I am NUTS anyway  :-).
 But at my defense; I asked if I could cut it out and my son wasn't very much attached to the Zombie word so I could have that one. As a matter a fact I could have the whole book," he didn't need it anyway", he said.   Well I think he does, so I returned it  to him ;-) (minus a word or two that is)

Here  is my page, using a Rick St. Dennis image called Zombie love, the background is a gelliplate print, I used Deco Art Amercana Acrylic paint in the colours: Calypso Blue DA234, Navy Blue DA 035, Hauser Light green DA131, True Red DA 129, and Lemon Yellow DA 011. The heart and the Z are stamps, I wrote the senti using a waterproof marker.

  9. I am visiting backwards, and this is the second zombie but is actually the first, I was surprised but only because I don't think I had that in my dictionary! Great image and that is so funny cutting zombie out of your son's dictionary then giving it back! Is that cheating using two dictionaries? hahahahahaha
