Summer Bucket List | What’s on your could-do-list this summer?⠀
⠀
We’re not going away on vacation, so to prevent us from working or house maintaining our way through this season, I’ve made a list of places we could visit and fun things we could do.⠀
⠀
One of the things I came up with is to try ten different ice cream shops, hence the ten scoops in this ice cream container. ⠀
⠀
They don't have to be local, but it seems like a lot of new ice cream parlours have opened lately, and now we're on a mission to try them all.⠀
⠀
The current state of affairs: two down, eight to go!⠀

Curious to read how I stamped the chart? I used @natkalbach’s new FAN-tastic stamp set. There’s a step-by-step description on her blog. The link is in my bio!⠀⠀

Crafter's problems | Question time! What are your favourite stamping inks? What do you consider the essentials and, do you have specific uses for specific inks?⠀
⠀
I went through my stash of stamping inks recently, and even though I do not think I have too many, I did ask myself if I need (to keep) all of them.⠀
⠀
My essentials are (not pictured) black ink pads in various ink types, embossing ink pads and StazOn in different colours.⠀
⠀
The VersaFine Clair is a brand new addition (I like it a lot!), but I found that quite a few smaller pigment ink pads had completely dried out.⠀
⠀
Apparently, I can't use them up fast enough. Some of them were only a year old!⠀
⠀
My biggest dilemma, however, is the dye ink pads. I only use them once in a blue moon. I can't even remember the last time I needed them for anything!⠀
⠀
I would love to know a way to use them (up), before these ink pads dry out too.⠀
⠀
So... Is there something cool I can do with them (that I can't do with watercolours, liquid inks or waterbased-markers) that I need to learn or be reminded of?⠀
⠀
What do you like to use dye inks for? I would love to hear!⠀
