Got to be good for Santa.........


Got to be a good girl if you want Santa to come - that's what I was always told when I was young and now I find myself saying it to my own children! This is another fab stamp by Daniel Torrente for Stampotique. The girl on this image looks very well behaved don't you think?!!
I used my NEW Tim Holtz flourish mask on this Christmas ATC. Can you see it? There's just a tiny bit in a couple of the corners. These masks are so versatile and are a great way to add a touch of variety in your backgrounds. I used my paper Artsy Christmas Words stamp, added a couple of Primas flowers and added a bit of random stitching. I have sent this one to someone as a RAK...........
Only 3 more days to go at work till we finish for 2 weeks for Christmas. I've got loads of family coming to stay but I'm sure I'll find some time to get paint on my hands :-)))
We had our school carol service this evening. All went well except that I had my long floaty black skirt on that I save for occasions when I have to conduct choirs etc. As I got out of my VERY muddy car (one of the drawbacks of living in a rural village) my skirt swooshed along the car and I arrived looking like I had been playing rugby. I failed to see the funny side of this at the time and had to do a quick emergency wash of my skirt in a handbasin before going on stage. Did I get lots of support off the children? Of course not, they laughed their socks off!
Ah well, only 9 sleeps till Christmas. Byeeeee

  1. She does look like a very well behaved girl. Quite unlike her "sister" in your previous post.
    Such a great style with these cards . . . the background, stitching and fabulous images. Perfect harmony and balance, and just thrilling to the eye.

  2. I love this ATC too, those stamps are fantastic. The background is also wonderful and of course the colours that may be part of your "signature style" now??? Beautiful.

The amount of effort you put into your ATCs is incredible, I keep seeing new details every time I look at it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
