I was lucky to be invited back to a Christmas ornament party today. I had never heard of this kind of party until last year when my DIL invited me to go with her to her aunt's, and it was a great time! Each guest is asked to bring six handmade Christmas ornaments and they are all hung on the tree. Everyone was given a bag with a number on it, and that is the order you go in to select an ornament from the tree. It's a great way to get a different selection of ornaments! Halfway through, the hostess changed the order of selections. We went in alphabetical order by first name and the next time, we went by the last name.
This snowman is one of the ornaments I made for the party. I used the snowman from the Sure-Cuts-A-Lot program and cut out one snowman on chipboard and two on white cardstock, remembering to flip one of the snowmen for the backside of the chipboard. (Yes, I decorated both sides). I ran each piece of the white cardstock through my Cuttlebug using the Snowflakes folder. I know it's hard to see the embossing. I didn't have my camera with me so this was taken with my phone. How did we ever get along without smartphones? I added some twine to the buttons and attached them with glue dots. Poor little guy looks 'cold' without a scraf...what was I thinking! This ornament was also voted the cutest and I won a new tote!
