Cutouts of love hearts

One of Abigail's favourite discoveries is cutting shapes out of folded piece of paper to make a snowflake. She sometimes just has one shape she cuts repeatedly, or experiments with different cuts on the one piece of paper. The paper is sometimes a circle, sometimes a rectangle. She has bee fascinated by some of Avril Burn's hand made cards where shapes are stuck over each other in a 3d effect.

Yesterday her class craft project came home: A4 paper with 4 snowflakes around a central one in crucifix formation. 2 of the circles had love hearts cut out of it, the central one had a butterfly cutout with paper love heart (cut-out) on top and a crunched up piece of red cellophane stuck onto that.

Abigail told Priscilla that some of the girls in her class were impressed by the loveheart cut outs and asked Abigail to make one for them. I think that she was happy to do so. However Abigail mentioned that one girl changed her mind once the snowflake was completed for her.
