This is the same photo I used for the tag, just a different Santa walking along.

This is the tree in the ruins of the Kaiserpfalz (Imperial Castle) which is down by the Rhine.

This tree is on the street where I live.

And these two little birds look like they are trying to keep warm. Good idea, as we have loads of snow and deep-freeze temperatures promised! I used a metallic card, which did not photograph well.

That was all for today. Take care, have fun, and thanks a lot for visiting!
Fabulous photos Valerie, they are making gorgeous cards. Those birds look so cute. Hope the fingers got a good talking to and will be a bit better tomorrow.

Val love these cards. Very effective with real and fantasy together. Wow you have a lot of snow, nothing here yet but it has been trying on and off. The fire is lit for the evening here and dark already at 4:45pm.
ReplyDeleteHope this is finding you better and healing thoughts your way.
