Snowman's Prayer!





Happy Friday!!!

It is a HAPPY FRIDAY for me!!!! I have just received the Winter's in the Air Seasonal cartridge, which has one of these lovely Snow Friends snowman on it, so I just had to make one!!! I have been wanting the Snow Friends Cartridge for quite sometime now and they are no longer making it. I do realize it can be purchase for the craftroom, but really don't have the desire to learn that system yet. Anyways back to this cute little guy,  one of the colors just had to be blue!!! ;)  With white and that touch of red, well what can I say, he is just too adorable! I hope you enjoy my card as much as I do!!!
