Let it Snow!!!

Ok, after living in the south for 12 years, I was excited to come to Germany. I missed the snow (I grew up in Ohio) and couldn't wait to help my kids make Snowmen and Snow Angels. Well, for some reason (maybe global warming?) we seem to be getting less and less snow. The week before Thanksgiving was still over 50 degrees! I guess I may just have to make my own. Good thing that the LNS challenge this week is all about snow. I created this cute little gift topper out of the snowflake sizzlets dies, some gold shimmer paint, and crystal effects. I used up another one of those pesky hat pins from the pretties kit as well as some of the pearls. I like the way it came out, except for the Crystal effects. I think I may have gotten a little heavy handed with it as the crystal effects kind of ran off the edges. Oh well, still not bad for my first attempt! What do you think?
