I haven't actually made templates for the snowflakes I just cut them freehand.

I'll be sharing them on my blog (sugar and spice and sandpaper) after Christmas. I wish I could enter but my tree is only 3 feet tall :-( However I'm very very excited to see the other trees people share.

I really hope you play along!
Paint is ...Hi Cyn,<br /><br />I really hope you play along! <br /><br />Paint is going to count for my budget. How I'm handling it is: if I already have a color I want to use use I am going to "virtually" subtract the cost (usually no more than a dollar for a bottle of craft paint) from my budget. If I purchase a new bottle I'll hopefully be buying it with a coupon so it shouldn't make that big of a dent in the budget. <br /><br />Although for some people paint could fit into the category recycled/scrap/upcycled materials. To me if you are going to be using up paint you had from another project that's definitely "scrap" materials that are being used.Meg@MegaCraftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13368362538043182559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653784245008136236.post-86043235178900346962011-11-09T12:51:29.780-05:002011-11-09T12:51:29.780-05:00This looks like lots of fun - I might try playing ...This looks like lots of fun - I might try playing along.
