New challenge at Tag Tuesday

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday, and this time our wonderful Wendy is hosting and has chosen the theme of 'Texture'. You can read more about it on our blog, and see the wonderful samples she has created for our inspiration. I made a very quick and easy tag - time is not on my side just now. The frame for the bridal couple was made with gold embossing paste, the couple is from TH:



And I have an A3 mixed media page for Wendy's 'birds' challenge at AJJ.
The owls were stamped, fussy cut and adhered to the page, as were the circles and squares:








And a selection of birds, large and small, taken at various times to fit in with the bird theme:















Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

    You must have a good camera to get the shots and detail you achieve.

  9. Thanks for all the bird shots, Valerie. The Grey Heron and the Stork are especially handsome. And I see that you slid in some Canada Geese too, as you should of course. Yesterday I saw a couple of a thousand of them on a local lake, where it was cold, windy, raw, with snow on the ground and in the air, but they were stoic and brave! Today we are heading for the north shore of Lake Ontario where we will doubtless see many more, and lots of other interesting species too. I hope your fingers are holding up well during this cold season. I am sure it is a challenge always, but I would imagine that extremes of weather, hot or cold, aggravate the situation. Today is election day south if the border, and I have my fingers and toes crossed that Trump will get a resounding comeuppance and be relegated to the dust heap of history forever. Take care, stay warm, nurse fingers, craft gently, eat soup, drink coffee - and know that someone in Canada thinks of you often. David

    1. Thanks David! Glad you like the birds. Balconia has lots of varieties! How lovely to see all those Canada geese on the like sounds good. And they were stoic and brave as true, Canadian geese should be! My fingers are starting to get painful, I need to wear gloves even at home. Cold always makes them very bad and painful! I'm hoping that it stays peaceful in the USA, that man is not to be trusted in any way. Let's hope all will tun out well! In half an hour it will be veggie soup time, so I'm looking forward to that! Thanks for thinking about me, I'm not feeling so good today. Have fun at Lake Ontario! Hugs to you both!

  27. The bride and groom starting their life together with so much hope and a bright future. The sentiment of the owl page struck a chord. Thank you for the some calm and hope while US bobs on the water like the seagulls. Take care.
