Week 5

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Well, maybe not yet but these snowmen are getting ready! This is a simple card layout that can be fancied up or simplified even more! Use Designer Series Paper or leave off the embossing for the background. Add the sentiment directly to the image in place of the tag. Include another layer of color in front of the Cherry Cobbler pieces.... Oh, the possibilities!
