My first ornament was created using chipboard,some DP from my "scrap pile", paper, felt ,resin and acrylic snowflakes, bling and a transparent tag.

Second up is a glass ball ornament that I dapped with alcohol inks. (cranberry and tobacco)

This little birhouse was made from chipboard, Paper Studio pp, a sticker from the dollar store and sequin trim

Last up is this card. Basic Grey pp, DCWV pp, Bazzill cardstock. I stamped "happy winter" and heat embossed it. The snowman was stamped on a ceramic ornament and then colored.

This is Tippi Hedron who stared in Hitchcock's "The Birds". It just seemed fitting that her pic is in Black and White since her film was in black and white.
