Top Note Snowman

This was my class project for the stampin' ladies last Friday evening...I had so much fun making it...I just love how it turned out...this class was so much fun...Carol really got the ball rolling when I pulled out the Big Shot Machine and she started singing..."Mr big shot...who do you think you are...Mr big shot"...then when I started to have the ladies cut the riding hood red card stock...she got everyone singing..."hey they little red riding hood...you sure are looking good...you're everything that a big bad wolf would want....Hooowwwwllll!!!"...how funny...and I know you can guess what song she had them singing when I bought out the bottle of Silver Bells dew drops...LOL...what a fun night...and we all never had anything to drink stronger than tea or coffee...LOL...the stampin' ladies really know how to belt out a tune...KUDOS!!! to you all ladies.
