Its Wednesday and I have a day of crafting planned as the girls are at their parents for the half term holiday.  I am also planning to spend some time hopping across the crafty blogs of blogland, courtesy of the lovely Julia and WOYWW.

 Here was creative space yesterday, late afternoon ...

A bit of inking going on - and yes that  is pink!! ...

And more inking, blue this time!!  I love this stamp set Twinkle Toes ... it is from Clearly Besotted Stamps and such good quality, really thick acyrlic and a dream to stamp.

And here is what I made after all that inky fun ...

I stamped the ballerina in Versamark starlight and then in versafine oynx on a separate piece of card.  Having cut her out, I popped her onto 3d pads, added stickles round the "frame" and then added the girl.  The sentiment is from the same set. 

This time I stamped the girl using versafine oynx and then stamped it onto scrap, before 'ghost' stamping it behind the girl.  I added stickles to the 'ground' and her wand.  The sentiment is again from the same set.

With the girls away I was able to 'pop' down to Eastbourne on Monday to visit the lovely Lisa who runs That Craft Place.  I am really lucky to be on her DT and she is an absolutely lovely lady.  She put me to work, assembling and painting a Tando Advent Tree (just like the one I was doing last week, and that is currently lying abandoned on my landing!!), and also making up hatpin kits.  It was a really long day - 8 hours round trip on the train, but I had a fab time.
