How to make a face flake
Here's my face flake? Do you like it? 
The more flakes you make this month the more Popular Front: Snow Days contributes to The Salvation Army so pass along the word and the website to your friends and family!
If you would like to use my flakes for your use feel free to "Copy as" and save. If you make any flakes and share them in your journal, please share your entry URL with us in the comments section. To capture a screen shot of your flake press Print Screen + Ctrl and then open an email and press paste in the email. The flake should appear in your email. It is rather small. You will want to resize it. If you have any questions feel free to email me at valphish@aol.com. Have fun!
