Bucket of Snowballs Photo Display

Here is a visual of Kathy's Accucut snowball bucket project presented at Holiday Impressions 2012.  So many possibilities with this diecut!  Have fun making more of this version or create your own design!  We'd love to see what you design!
Thanks to everyone who attended this year's event.  We hope your take away was a wealth of new card making ideas and lots of creative energy for the upcoming holidays. 
We look forward seeing you over the fourth quarter and hope you can attend our many wonderful events and classes.
