DAY 1 OF 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS


Phew just made it by the skin of my teeth. For me Day 1 had to be like many others, improvisation, as we cannot possibly own everything of Tim Holtz unless we are millionaires.....lol

100% recycle used to make this tag. Oh no, have just seen Day 2 come up......eeek, See you later must have my porridge before I can face another .

Take care, keep warm, Hugs Annette x

Just catching up here!
Absolutely adore this Netty. Your houses look fab done like a little village and all the texture is gorgeous.
I also think it's better not to have all of Tim's stuff cos it makes us more creative (even if it is hard work sometimes!)

Great tag! Sometimes having to improvise is more fun than just copying what he's done. The houses are perfect.
