D - dancer - un ballerino / una ballerina

Well I never for the last challenge I was so last minute and this time I am early with my page for the dictionary challenge at The Craft Barn.  I'm loving doing these pages - it's really good fun and a great way to use those stamps that have been lurking unloved for some time.
The ballerina I've used on this page is a clear stamp bought from a Facebook Declutter group.  I really don't know who the maker is but I do love the geometric lines in it and the style.  I've also used another of the letter stamps I bought from the same group - this time I think the words 'darling' and 'determined' fit really well with the ballerina.  I've coloured the tutu in pink - that was an added extra to the challenge and I've added a dictionary definition too from a very old and battered dictionary that I really don't mind cutting up.
So here's an update on all the letters and words used so far...

• B - baby - un bimbo / una bimba
• L - leaf - un foglia
• F - fish - un pesce
• G - garden - un giardino
• and today's letter D - dancer - un ballerino / una ballerina

So far I've only used the English to Italian part of my dictionary - maybe next year I'll use the first half of the book and use the Italian words.

Have a great week everyone.

G - Garden - un giardino

oh my I nearly missed this challenge.  Life has been tough over the past two weeks with my mum falling and ending up in hospital and then returning to the home she is in, but not really fit to be there.  Anyhow I made the challenge at The Craft Barn by the skin of my teeth.  I really don't want to miss any of the alphabet out.
This time the focus is on the letter G and I chose to illustrate the word 'garden' which in my Italian dictionary is 'uno giardino'.  I've just bought a set of alphabet stamps (second hand so not sure of make) that have the letter and two words on as well - really like these and will be using them on each page from now on I think.  The main stamped garden images are from a set of clear stamps by PSX that I have had for so long I can't remember when I bought them.  They have gone yellow but still seem to stamp okay.
Hope you like my page - I'm wondering what the next letter will be - only got till tomorrow to find out - a short wait this time!
