This tutorial was written by me on 10 December 2008. Any similarities to other tutorials is purely coincidental.

Scrapkit. I used the gorgeous scrap Season's Greetings by Just a Girl's Designs. If you wish to purchase this kit, you can here.
Template 32 made by me. You can download it from my blog here
Snow Animation
Font of choice. I used Roselyn (pay font)
