My Altered Advent Calendar

Morning every one.  It's dull and damp here but I know lots of you have had awful rain and winds.  Hope you're all safe and warm and have had a lovely couple of days celebrating Christmas with family and friends.  
After a lengthy conversation with the hotel we ate at on Christmas Day we've had a full refund sent back to us and have a complimentary meal with no holes barred (the champagne and wine we should have had on 25th) to look forward to in the New Year.  Before then I'm heading down to Cornwall to spend a few days, and New Year with my Sister by the sea which will be lovely. The boys are off to London to see the fireworks by the Eye which will be fab. 

Our project today is one of my Calendar Kits.  Altered in stamped and fussy cut elements from some of Jo's (JOFY)  older Christmas stamps and coloured with distress inks painted on with a little water.  It was great fun to make. 


Kits are available over on the website if you fancy making your own calendar.  Well it's getting light here, so time to get showered and up.  Thanks for calling by, have a fun day and look forward to catching up again soon:-)

IndigoBlu Tags  Happy Friday everyone If your a follower of mine you 'll know that I've been off work for a while following an op, but my life as a lady of leisure came to an end this week when I returned to the world of totally british beautiful fast fast cars and ones that go anywhere!!  I had a wonderful welcome back from my colleagues so thanks to everyone for making my first day as good as it was.  I thought I'd feel like the new girl, not able to remember anything, but just like riding a bike it all came flooding back :-) Now I feel like I've not been away lol!!!    I cant deny I'm not pleased its the weekend and I've got time to re charge my batteries before attempting another 5 days on the trot :-)  As I've just joined the IndigoBlu team official this week I thought I'd share a couple of tags with you made with stamps from the  Pomp and Pageantry and Grand Tour 1 plates and the ledger background which I really love.  Tag 1 IndigoBlu
