Open-Minded Crafting Fun Challenge #29 - No Red and No Pink

The Open-Minded Crafting Fun Challenge #29 is No Red and No Pink.  This challenge really makes you think differently around Valentine's Day.  Of course, I live in MN, so we are expected to get 5 inches of snow this weekend, so mine creation is a winter snowglobe.

I used Snowglobe Winter Bird from Bugaboo, I love the images!!  I just got the A-2 Fancy Ribbon Threader by Spellbinders Paper Arts from my sister for Christmas and I loved how it turned out.
