Yesterday was nice (cooler, yet still sunny and warm) so the hubs and I thought we'd take a bus ride in to the city and play tourist! We lunched at the local food truck haunt, followed by a bevy at a local craft brewery and then a wander around the harbour before taking the bus home once more ... if you've the time and inclination, pull up a chair and take a wander with me!

Two great Christmas makes Kathy and I love the first with the cute TH bird and a great way of using the sunburst to ground the bird, and then the quirky reindeer with a nice shiny red nose, and the gold pearl card makes an excellent matted layer. Some wonderful photos of your fun in the city..the philly steak sandwich looks scrumptious and a refreshing beer too, and the harbour always makes a great place for a walk. x
Two super makes here!
Your TH bird with that brilliant grounding stamp works really well.
The louche reindeer always brings a smile to my face. Great card xxx
Such a fabulous card! Thank you for sharing with us at Creative Inspirations, good luck.

Thanks for playing at Christmas Kickstart, I loved seeing your card and reading your post, Jo x
Fabulous TH bird festive card. Good idea turning him into a robin! LOVE that grounding stamp too (seems to be retired, darn it!).
The louche reindeer always brings a smile to my face. Great festive make.
(I thought I'd left a similar comment here yesterday, but I can't see it, so came back and did it again. Blogger is really playing up at the moment. Could've been operator error though!)
Really charming! Looks smashing! Thanks for playing with us over at PFM this week.
Love n hugs
