I hope you all had a great Christmas!  Ours was great!

I loved being able to make these quick ornaments with my new Sizzix machine; the “Big Shot” and am anxious to try out more new shapes.  This year, they adorned Christmas packages of quick breads, and pretty glass jars of homemade hot fudge sauce!  Woohoo!

I fused white fabric, which already had beautiful silver sparkly snowflakes as the pattern, and fused it to timtex on both sides, then ran it through my Big Shot machine, presto magico!

A bit of angelina fibers, button and a bead, and DONE!  LOVE it!

I am looking forward to using some more dies in the quilting related arena when my budget will allow me to try one or two more.  Although I bought my machine/dies from Patsy Thompson’s website, you will also find additional items and great information from:  IHAN (I Have  A Notion). Both of these ladies are great to answer questions and I can’t wait to see what they will bring us in the New Year to whet our appetites!  I’m really hoping Patsy will bring us some FEATHER designs!!!!

I enjoyed using some of buttons in embellishing these ornaments… and loved also that this cool red batik with white ‘snowflakes’ looked quite charming to me…
