Combining Silhouette and Photo Fuse to Make Custom Shaped Shaker Elements

I'm always looking for ways to combine the power of my Silhouette machines with my other crafting toys.   So a few months ago when American Crafts sent me a Fuse Photo Sleeve tool I was racking my brain on how I could marry these two awesome crafting tools.  Turns out they're awesome together for making all kinds of shaker elements.

The secret is seamless patterns and the My Patterns folder and you're in luck because right about now I'm going to tell you where to get a whole slew of awesome digital patterns!!
