The swan pair are really sociable and followed me as I walked along the pathway.
We also have a very friendly heron at the ponds and he was up out of the water quite happy to pose for some photos.
I have managed to get my November Tim Tag inspirations card made and decided again to make a Christmas card. Below is his tag and you can read his step by step on his blog here
It was then time to assemble my card. I really like this one and I have squirrelled it away for my darling Hb for his Christmas card as I think he might like this one.😊
I added a holly brad, a die cut and a glittered shadow. I don't own any of Tim's thinlet letters so I left my card as it is...and actually I didn't want to cover any of my snowman up.

ReplyDeleteHi Jane! Oh my gosh, your swan photos are out of this world! And so is your card!! What a great take on Tim's tag. I love the background you created and the snowman is a perfect focal point. I'm sorry to hear you've had some rough weather but very happy you came through without damage.

Fabulous photos Jane and such a great snippets card too! Your Hb will be tickled with the lovely card (the TH snowman is great isn't it!) - and I too giggled at the heron's feet. Not so funny though for the fish on the receiving end of them!
