The current letter is "o" and I have chosen the word octagon. Like so many crafters I have a few (thousand) scraps left over from projects and it really is time I started dipping into them to justify the reason for having kept them. I cut the octagons from some scrap background pieces and over stamped them with stamps from a new Crafty Individuals plate that I won for a knock down price on the auction site. The background was brayered using some left over paint from a previous project and then stamped using Distress Ink. The dictionary definition was computer generated.

ooh Maggie, this is beautiful. Choosing octagan for the dictionary challenge word was a very clever idea. I love all the blues and greens and lovely meadow images. This is a great project.
A lovely page and a great way to use the shapes. Great backgrounds and colour combinations for the octagons xx
This is adorable, but of course, I had to laugh because you managed to use a dragonfly, which would have made Jane happy. I am really impressed with these octagons, and love how you used leftovers to your advantage, too. Lovely postcard and a super choice of words.
I have this very plate, one of my first with the CI Tree plate! Great use of these scraps, I tend to use them but I always create MORE than I use...
Super card - thanks for joining in the Craft Barn Alpha challenge and good luck in the draw xx
Brilliant idea for the word! Great choice of colours too.
