Someday, the altered art you make today will be
old, faded, falling apart, and someone else will salvage the bits and use them
in new altered art.It's the best that any piece of art can hope for

Santa is a bit busy but

he has taken a few minutes out to pose for today advent calendar....



 well OK that is a bit of a fib, its another one of Jennies gorgeous Christmas Stamp. Today's is a very simple tag. I stamped Santa straight onto the mountboard and did a second image on a scrap of paper which was torn out and used as a mask. Then Distress Inks were sponged around the edge. The whole thing was covered with UTEE as in previous tags and finally edged with normal embossing powder. A very simple technique but still effective and I have to save my painting skills for today's treat ......

A pedicure and painting my toenails ready for a night out with the girls!

You dont need the excuse of a night out - treat yourself anyway!!

See you tomorrow if I am not suffering with a hangover!

  3. How do you know which advent tag to take each day?
    are they in any kind of pattern, logic, order or is it random/ pot luck / whichever one takes your mood / whichever treat you fancy?
    were the treats written on the back knowing what the front was or have you mixed them up in envelopes and working blind?
    things like these can keep a girl awake at night you know! lol
