CTO Challenge #72: Star Struck

Hello everyone,

If you are looking for my FCCB post please click HERE.

There is a new challenge up at Celebrate the Occasion. This week our theme is Star Struck. We are challenging you to create a project with at least three stars on it.

The search of my Gypsy for stars brought up the border that I used on my card. I welded the shadow to  a rectangle to make the base of the card. I used some PP behind it to show it off. Then I cut the border in pink and adhere to the card base .

I really like the color combination of the card and I really tried to make the stars the main focus of the card.

What was used:
Cricut Gypsy
Cricut Georges and Basic Shape
Cricut Wall Decor and More
My Pink Stamper Lunchbox Thoughts stamp set
DCWV The Spring Stack
DCWV The Glitter Stack
American Craft Cardstock
Memento Rose Bud Ink
Twine

I know our DT have created some gorgeous project, so please stop by CTO and give them some love and I hope you will join us this week for our challenge.

Happy Scrapping!

The Basic Rules were :

This is the 5 1/2 X 5 1/2 card that I created for it. The message on the front was continued on the inside of the card and I made a coordinating envelope.

My Sheri Crafts Challenge #40 - Bling

I love bling! So I had to do this challenge. I have made a scrapbook page of my kids dancing with friends at a backyard party in the summer. The band was wonderful, the kids had a blast and so did I!

What was used:
           DCWV Music Stack, Shimmer Stack and Glitter Stack.
           Recollections Rhinestones Strass
           Cricut Wall Decor and More Cart: the word 'Dance' was cut at 4.5 width on the Gypsy.

Its a very simple page, but I just love all the bling around it. The title and the journaling is from the Guy Clark song 'Comes from the Heart.' They are words to live by.

"Work like you don't need the money
Love like you've never been hurt
And dance like no one is watching."

Happy Scrapping everyone!
