The 12 Days Of Christmas – Day 8
Oooh, bloody hell, it’s 2019 !!! Happy New Year! Seems weird to still be talking about Christmas so blame the carol.
On the eight day of Christmas my true love sent to me, eight maids-a-milking …
It’s a lovely gift but who is supplying the creatures being milked?! Does my true love assume that I have a heard of cows roaming around my flat? If so, my true love doens’t know me that well.
The alternatives from history aren’t that much better – hares-a-running or boys singing. The only one that I liked was hounds-a-running, although eight of them all bounding around could get pretty bloody annoying.
Carol aside, I should let you know that I used the 12 Days Of Christmas stamp set that came free with Issue 63 of Creative Stamping Magazine.
A line was drawn at the side of the Artist Trading Card and the sentiment stamped in the space created. This area was then masked off and the main design was stamped across the remaining space.
Alcohol markers and a little sparkle were then used to colour the design. At this point, I was getting a bit belligerent with the ATCs and I added a little ‘Oi!’ from Daisy as she wasn’t too happy about the maids nicking her milk.
Just four more days of Christmas to go. Seems to be dragging now though, right?
Have you packed up the tinsel already? Decs down and ho-ho-ho vac-packed and put in the loft?
Maybe lets keep a little of the Christmas cheer out for a couple more days, eh?
See you tomorrow for day 9.

Exploding Gift Boxes – In A Nice Way
Exploding gift boxes don’t sound like a thing of joy – especially the ones in those adverts that chuck things all over you – however, on this occasion, thankfully, it’s smiles all round!
With a little playtime late one evening I decided to crack out a new set of dies that I recently collected from the guys at Craft Stash.
Made It Onto A Design Team! Woo Hoo!
A little excited today as I have got some new friends! I got an email the other day that said I had made it onto the Couture Creations design team for 2018/19! How awesome!?
As you would expect, it’s not just me. There are in fact a group of super talented crafters that have been given this honour too so I thought that it would be cool to share their details so you can see more inspiration for the fabby GoPress and Foil system along with other goodys from the Couture Creations range over the coming months.Read More »
