playing with stamps

Wow.. I'm really lucky to have my wonderful in-laws move in, right around the corner in the next street a few weeks ago! Today was the first time they took my little man for the morning.. my partner works on Saturday mornings which meant I had the whole...WHOLE morning to myself! I think my brain nearly exploded at the thought... what to do with all that precious time!

First I had a little cry after saying goodbye to my little man.... I haven't left him in others peoples care very often, so I was a bit emotional (I'm such a sook)! Then I got out my new toys and carved some stamps! Yesterday, I watched a few YouTube tutorials, just to see if I could pick up some pointers which I did! So... I carved some practice ones to get use to using the tools... I was really happy with how they turned out! I don't have any stamp pads yet, so I just mixed up some paint I had and brushed it on the stamp to test them out, I quite like the effect!


My little plane stamp still needs a few adjustments, but it's looking good so far too... I went a bit crazy stamping it over loads of paper every which way... Love it :)


I also got to play with my other favourite toy, my camera!! It was so much fun this morning and it was so nice to have no interruptions... though I did miss the "little" interruptions... a lot! :)

Hope you are all having a great weekend :)

    This looks sooo fun! Now I want to try it out. It looks a little hard to do, though. I better get my painting skills first and maybe I'll try these out later on! So nice :)

    I know what you mean about leaving the little one at other's hands... I miss Mili the second she's out of the house...

    Loving those stamps Lamina! So pretty! Especially the little plane! Really cool.

    I like that little plane zipping along, and that you had time to play and create. Here's to flying along!

    Lamina, you certainly had fun - what a productive morning you had! Much better than washing and dishes and weeding.

    More please!

    Cheers,
