Christmas Baubles Ornament Snow Globe challenge

[summerz]

Wow everyone's are so pretty.
I made this several years ago, it's a bit primitive but it was fun
I didn't have a hanger *thingy back then so I stuck it in a branch lol.
Perhaps I will try to make some new ones and see if I can figure out that Snow globe.

Very quick one from me.
Found a background - Distort/Glass/tiny lens, made a square selection, Distort / Spherize masked out the corner bits, added a THINGY (made one up my self).

Merry Christmas to all By the way.

HI Palms, I had fun with the link for the chisrtmas card.
and I'm working a globe too.
Summers, love the colors of yours
Peter, yours is very real looking.
Ikroll very imaginative, I really like the pink and green one.
Patrica, I love the one with the neat pattern.

Anyone want actions for the Snow Globes?
The action by Dave you use an open picture and the action works on a copy of it just size to fit..
The action by Nicholas you drag your picture onto the Action and size to fit...

Is this cheating?

Nice one Peter, and you can go to the top of the class for making your own thingy

Nice card CathyH it is a fun reasonably easy one to do, except for the tree how did you do yours ?

Granny great snow globes and great links and it is a definite NO actions are not cheating

Ikroll thanks for the link it is a good one and I have utmost respect for CSpringer clever man ( and a member here)

Just had a thought will start another thread for other xmas images so we can keep just the baubles /snow globes here
I have some other links to tuts etc

Thanks Patricia
Well it's the first time I've ever been asked how to make a Thingy!
No it's not a candle stick it's a Drawing pin - you know one of those ones with the plastic head thingybobby bit that you use to push em in and pull em out. I just removed the pin, distorted it a little and recoloured, then added a little texture, for realism.

I like both of yours - the second one more though - nice texture there.

I'll stop blethering now and get back in my corner.

Night night.

Have been out of power due to the ice storm, really, really lucky to have power back on, 1/2 million people are still without it. Looks like everyone has been busy with this thread and very creative!

Patricia, seeing your creations has made me really interested in fractals now.

Granny, I love the snowglobes!

My ornament here was created using one of those tuts that Lyle linked to, and I used the same hanger/topper that Lyle pointed us to as well. The puppy is my own little sweetie pie.

[palms1]

Mining art a very neat bauble

Susie glad you have your power back on, Feel so sorry for those who dont, We have seen some footage over here, not very nice weather at all

But a really nice bauble/dog
