My snowflakes

Who doesn’t like snowflakes?   Here’s a cool new twist on an old passtime – cutting paper snowflakes.   My sister, Kristin, introduced me to “Make-A-Flake“  – no paper or scissors needed.    I made all the flakes in my post (copying them into Photoshop to edit).  Aren’t they pretty??

I made this snowflake!Click here to make a flake and then post it for us to see!   After you cut your flake, select “Save my flake” – and enter your name/submit.  Then, in the next window, choose “Download my flake.”    Choose “view image” – a new browser window will open that shows your newly created flake.  Copy and URL and paste it in a message to us.  It will look something like this:

  1. Michelle – do you remember when we cut out hundreds of paper snowflakes and then suspended them from string in the stake center for Jeri’s young adult New Years eve dance??? I remember that it looked so cool……

  5. Ooooh, pretty…. this activity has become a bit addicting. I’m sure I’ve made over 100 flakes the past several days…………

  9. These are great… I like the pointy goblin face one! I dare you to stop now… it just won’t happen.

    When I was in high school, I was teachers aid for Mr. Ludlow. Over a couple of days when I didn’t have much to do, I cut out hundreds of snowflakes and hid them… when they were all done, I plastered his desk with them. They were stuck to everything, plus suspended from the ceiling over his chair and desk…. he couldn’t even see the desk 🙂 He was both ridiculed and the envy of the other teachers in his area : )
