When I think of January and February, I used to think of snow. I don’t think of it so much anymore since I now live in Georgia and not Michigan. Let’s pretend for a moment that I do live in Michigan. What’s better than just plain old, regular snow, especially if you’re a little kid? Why, a SNOW DAY of course! Those were the best days ever when I was little {and even when I was an adult and teaching}.
To put me in the snow day spirit, I decided to make a cute little frame for my kitchen desk. It was so super easy, and I just used supplies I already had in my craft closet.
Snow Day Frame Materials
wooden snowflakes {I ended up only using one}
snowflake scrapbook paper
snow day graphic {found on a cute piece of scrapbook paper}
hot glue gun/glue
picture frame {mine were from the clearance section at Target, 3 for $.85}
pearls
To start, I undid the back of the frame to get the piece of card stock from inside. This was my template for sizing the blue and white snowflake scrapbook paper. I cut it to size and also found a cute “snow day” square on the other sheet of scrapbook paper and cut it out. I used my super cute snowman scissors. These are seriously my favorite pair of scissors. I have no idea where they’re from as they were a “teacher gift” one Christmas from a 3rd grader, but they are seriously the best. And, yes, I use them year-round.
Once the inside of the frame was ready, I popped the background in and closed the frame again. I wanted to give the frame a little “bling”, so I added one wooden snowflake to the top corner and “blinged” it up even more by adding a light pink pearl to each arm of the snowflake. I like the dimension it adds!
I added it to the corner of my kitchen desk to dream of snow days in Georgia!
What about you? I know kids are just now getting back to school, but are they already dreaming of a snow day?
Some of my bloggy friends also shared some snowflake themed crafts and ideas. Stop by and visit a few of them! I know I already see several ideas that I want to pin, so I can try them out myself!
Enjoy!

I love the idea of a snow-themed link party. Thanks for hosting!
I love the snowflake with the pearls … so pretty!
So fun! I remember being in school, listening to the radio on cold winter mornings to hear if a snow day was being announced…
Oh, me too!!! Not so much in Georgia, haha! But definitely when I lived in Ohio and Michigan 🙂
This is such a cute idea! I really like it and may try it myself.
Aw, thanks!
