Pink Cat's Geometry Challenge

Rectangles, circles, squares I have them all. Even the patterned paper has circles on it. I used Pink Cat's limitless limbs and sugarloaf's sentiment cause I thought it fit so well will my theme of four seasons. You can't really see it but the flowers, Christmas lights and leaves are 3-D this picture doesn't give it justice because it does look really cool popping out at you.
You can check this challenge out at http://pinkcatstudio.blogspot.com/

N is not a card




ABC challenges this week is N for not a card http://abc-challenge.blogspot.com/ so here it is my project. I picked up this large plain brown star at a craft show last fall and I have been wanting to do something with it for awhile. so I put my family's pics and patterned paper to go with the colours of our living room, cut the paper and pics to fit on the star and I am so happy with how it turned out "grin". I guess when you have patterned paper and great pictures you can do anything :). The family star fits perfectly on the mantel above the fireplace.

Star bookmark

This is my first challenge at project Tuesday at http://sasprojecttuesday.blogspot.com/ I thought it was a fun challenge to make a bookmark. I made mine using a chipboard star and I cut out a star with patterned paper and stuck a star brad in the middle and stickled around the edges. Quick and easy
