This is my first of a few holiday stars that I am creating (I love snow, so I had to complete the snowman star first :) I will be posting the others within the next few days. This star measures 18" tip to tip. I used coordinating paper from The Paper Studio and cut the lettering and snowflakes from a few of my Cricut cartridges. The cute little scarf is made from polar fleece.
I have enough of the same materials to create duplicates for sale or instruct others to create their own at one of my gift gatherings.

Finally, here is my first 'baby' star! It is for my brother and his wife since their new little Megan is not on their family star. I had a blast embellishing and glittering up the words and cut designs. I really loved the thought of making a 'baby announcement' for the wall....I am thinking about doing one of each of my kiddos since there won't be any more babies for me until grandchildren :)
This star was kind of spur of the moment, and the pictures were random of her little girl years. I usually don't use color pictures, but I liked how they looked against the red star and muted coordinating papers. I loved the font that we used for her name and have used it for another star since then. The star measures 24X24 inches tip to tip.

This is another star that I created for one of my close friends of her son's 1st birthday party. I love red stars and I used baseball/star themed papers, so that made it even cuter! This is the first time I used letter stickers and they worked out well....love the mixed up font of the stickers!

I made this star for one of my close friends for her daughter's 1st birthday. I found the perfect paper pack to do my first all black and white star. It came together a lot more quickly than other stars because the coordinating pack took all of the deciding out of creating the star. I love black and white :)

This was my first attempt at a 'guy' star. My husband loves biking in Moab and has gotten all of us interested as well. I made this star for his son, Adam for a Christmas present two years ago after he and his dad rode the Kokopelli trail earlier that year. I found the star in the clearance section of a home decor store and it was all beat up...perfect for my project! I'm going to have to purposely beat up some stars to make more of them :)

Welcome to my facebook friends...I hope that this blog site answers any questions that you may have about my photo stars (especially if you are wanting to attend one of my gift gatherings and create one of your own :)

Please send me a message if you do have any questions or even ideas that you would like to try out. I am really easy going and I love the creative process. I am looking forward to seeing some of you soon!
