Ornament for Tabitha

                                              all photos by Angela
I wanted to share a photo of the handmade ornament that I sent to Tabitha for the recent swap I was in.   It's not a great photo but as you know the weather was on the gloomy snowy side that day!  I used beautiful Melissa Frances papers, wood, and some vintage trim.  I also aged it a bit with some distress ink as well.  I also sent her another one that I made (but no photos sorry) and the store-bought one with a Victorian Santa in all white encased in a soldered glass case.  
I'm so thrilled that she loved them all! 

I enclosed the ornaments in a box I covered with some wonderful new fabric paper by DCWV!  Love this stuff.  I knew it would be perfect for Tabitha's love for a pink Christmas.  I had the sweet cherub in my stash for several years and I thought it would be great to use with the golds in this fabric.  The lace is vintage.   I have tried finding the link for the paper online but it's nowhere to be found.  I bought the paper at Joann's if you're interested.  Only saw it in 3 color categories.  Let me know if you try it out and how you like it!

I can't wait to see what I get in the mail soon!  I will be sure to share once I receive it and also post to the linky on The Bloggerette Sorority's site, too.
