Finally some playtime!

Hi all

Finally had some time to play today as I am off, yipee, I should really be packing though as we are off to Duinrell in Holland on Monday (kids are mega excited)!! It has been another long and tough week. I can't believe it has been almost a week since I went to Happy Stampers North West show at Port Sunny with my lovely crafting buddy Lisa Jane, had a good laff and spending was quite restrained LOL!

While we were there I bumped into some lovely crafting buddies and met lots for the first time, besides being surrounded by rubber stamps all day bumping into friends new and old was a real highlight!



Love the photo inspiration over on the Playdate Cafe again this week and these colours made me think of the seaside! I have used a Crafty Individuals (CI 284) stamp which I bought from HSNW, stamped in Memento and coloured in using Promarkers, I used chalks for the sky and sea. Layered with Kraft, Core'dination and ric rac.



I fell in love with this stamp, they look like friends having a great time splashing in the sea and as the challenge over on Allsorts is inspiration from a song title, mine is That's What Friends Are For By Elton John And Dionne Warwick (love the lyrics to that song).
