Having fun with Alcohol Inks...

Morning folks...before we get to the "having fun with alcohol inks" bit...I have to say that yesterday's Olympic Sofa Marathon was thrills...spills...against the clock "sitting on the edge of your seat" excitement at the 3 Day Event Cross Country...well done to team GB now sitting in Silver Medal position in the Team Event going in to today's showjumping...fingers crossed for clear rounds all round...I'll be locking the door...taking the phone off the hook...a nail biting time...
GAME ON...Mary...Nicola...Zara...Tina and William....YOU CAN DO IT
Sadly barring disastrous rounds by the top 3...none of the Brits look to be in contention for Individual Gold so I'll be hooting and tooting for the veteran "still at the top of his game" 56 year old Mark Todd...probably the world's best ever 3 Day Eventer and after winning 49 major titles throughout his career...no-one deserves another Olympic GOLD more than him....COME ON TODDY and CAMPINO
Edited to add: in the world of horses and eventing...things can change in a heartbeat...after brilliant clear rounds...Mary King and Tina Cook are now in contention for a medal....come on...do it for the girls...

Back to the crafty stuff...a big thank you to all the lovely crafty girls who came to my Tim Holtz Masterclass 2 at The Papeterie on Saturday....
we had lots of fun playing with alcohol inks on different mediums and for those of you who have never dipped your toes into the world of alcohol inks because you think it has to be all dark and grungy....we were in "Clean and Simple" mode...pretty and soft was the order of the day...

on shrink plastic
finishing off with a tag and the first stamping of this must-have Hero Arts Feather Stamp....
See you all tomorrow over at WOYWW and with the cubbyhole having been more or less abandoned in favour of all things Olympic...who knows what will be on my workdesk
