Snowman Picture

So part of the fun in being married to the military is that every couple years (or less) you move to a new home and have to plan your decorations again., or you have to see what decorations have survived your last move. I had an entire box of decorations that bit the dust in our move across the country this time :-(

Well I said all that to say this..... now we have a half bathroom downstairs, so in my Christmas decorating I've been working on my bathroom. I'm going with a snowman theme. I got it all done and realized that my wall was lacking. I had a picture there for everyday, but it didn't really go with the snowman theme. Out comes the cricut and here's what happened!!

I started with an inexpensive 8.5x11 frame from Joann. This is a part of their LA Collection, which doesn't go on sale...but that means you CAN use a coupon on it... so next time you have a coupon and think everything in the store is on sale.....hit this up.

After the frame it's time for design and paper. Thankfully (haha) Joann was having a paper sale to help inspire me!! 5 for $.95!! So I got a couple different shades of blue to use for this project.

I got my DS out to design my snowman. I used Winter Frolic for the snowman. I cut him out in a pearlized white, then an orange nose, a blue patterned hat, and red scarf (both from my scrap stash). Once I had pieces cut out it was time to put it together.

Once I got him all mounted up and in the frame I thought that it needed a little more. So I added the words, then I had some foam snowflakes and used those to give it some more dimension.

It looks really good in my bathroom!! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!!
