Be a star!

What do you give someone who has everything?

Answer: A handmade star!

I was struggling with what to give someone recently for her birthday. A lightbulb went off and I thought about giving her a birthday wand! Who doesn't like to feel like a star on her birthday?!?!

Here's a closeup of the tag...

I made the star using a cereal box, vintage sheet music, mod podge, and glitter! The ribbons and sparkly stars were from my box of random stuff. I think it turned out nicely. She really loved it!!

And, of course I had the perfect card to go with it!

I love Alice in Wonderland and these stamps from TJ Designs! I also used elegant eggplant and pink piroutte cardstock and ink along with Artistic Etchings Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Summer Mini Catalog Polka-Dot Album

Have you seen the new Stampin' Up! Summer Mini catalog? Well, you have to check it out! There are lots of pretty new things including the above green Polka-Dot 6 x 6 mini album! It's perfect for those of us who like to do quick scrapbook pages.


For this 6 x 6 page I used old sheet music and lace found at the local thrift store. I also used a piece of cardboard-like textured packaging filler. I'm sorry that i don't know what it is exactly!. The brown polka-dot paper is from the Bella Rose Designer Series Paper collection. The rabbit is stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock. The stamp set is Alice in Wonderland from TJ Designs. Of course I had to use my sewing machine to jazz it up a bit!
