Snowman Soup

Bad photos today! Geez! I am working on the snowman soup for the craft fair. I have nine made so far, and I think I want to make thirty. I think these are cute!


I used the inch bag and the shopping bag from Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More on the Cricut. I cut them at 5 1/2". The little tags say "snowman soup" in a circle, and the snowman is clip art. I used my Coluzzle to cut the tags.


These are the shopping bags.

These are the inch bags. Notice the one in front. I wasn't paying attention to how I put the printed paper into my Cricut, and I ended up putting it in the wrong way, and now instead of saying "Ho Ho Ho", its says "Oh Oh Oh". It was already cut, so I'm using it anyway! Duh! I'll pay more attention next time! All of the papers are from the DCWV Glitter Christmas Stack. I'm adding a poem to all of these. My daughter wrote the poem! It's fantastic! Here it is:

Snowman Soup
By: Emily Sheetz

Winter’s here, as we all know,
It’s time to go play in the snow.
Once Jack Frost has nipped your nose,
You need something warm, to warm your toes.
A little Snowman Soup will fix you up right,
And a nice warm blanket to wrap you up tight.
Make the hot chocolate, all steaming and yummy,
And drink it fast; it’ll warm your tummy!
Add the marshmallows one by one,
‘Cause they’re what makes the whole thing fun!
Stir it with the candy cane, to add a little hint,
Of the sweetest flavor ever, yummy peppermint.
Snowman Soup is the way to go,
When you’re done playing in the snow.

Isn't that awesome? She's a great writer! She's 11 years old! Thanks for stopping by!

Everything's brilliant - the poem and bags...oh, oh, oh!! He he! - I have that paper - think I'll turn it upside down too!
For the frame you asked about on my card, it's Autumn Leaves, Whimsical Frames. I saw it on Kaz's blog and asked her too!
