Snow Friends








And here are my tags!




I had so much fun making these tags! And I think they are SO cute!!!!
The snowmen were colored with Copic Markers. I fussy cut them out and adhered them to the festive pattern paper. I stamped the sentiments, and finished the tags with glitter, jingle bells and pretty ribbon and twine!
