Don't worry if the snowflake isn't perfect, snowflakes aren't  supposed to be! ;) Adhere the covered CD to the center of your snowflake.  Glitter embellishments, and adhere where desired.  These would look pretty festive hanging in the windows of your home, or you can shrink down the pattern to make them into ornaments.

( if you need the pdf file for the snowflake pattern, send email to hildejanster@gmail.com )
 
Have a very Merry Christmas!!

The spotlight is on for Debbie Danielson!

My name is Debbie Danielson. I live in a small rural community with my
fabulous husband of 35 years. We have 4 children, 3 grandchildren, and
2 dogs. I am definitely a country girl.

Since childhood I have had a passion for creating and love playing
with pretty papers whenever I have a chance. I love adding bits of
lace, buttons and sewing to my layouts. I love creating pages that my
family & friends will enjoy looking at through the years.

I really don't have a defined style other than it's evolving, and I
lean towards the shabby side.  I was thrilled when I found some
Graphic 45 papers in my LSS. They remind me of home, and I love
antiques and all things vintage.

When I'm not scrapping, I also enjoy photography, sewing, knitting &
gardening. My hubby is wonderfully supportive of my interests.

I've had several items published in various eZines, and will have my
first print publication coming out this Spring.  I currently design
for a wonderful kit club, My Creative Scrapbook.

This is my first time being a featured artist, so I am very thrilled
and honored!
