Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge #200: Snowmen

Happy Tuesday to all of you!  I can't even believe this is the last week of January.  Where did the month go?  If you live in an area where it is snowing, I hope you are safe and warm.  Today's Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge is Snowmen.  I just love snowmen and I always have.  I guess you could tell that from my last couple of projects!  I used my new Cricut Explore to make this card (I am still learning how to use my Explore).  I used the print and cut feature and was so thrilled that it actually worked!
