Paper Cuts

Happy Thursday!  It’s almost the weekend!  Wow…this week is really going fast.  I thought for sure we’d have some delayed school openings due to icy conditions but no…instead we’ve had 33 degrees with pouring rain.  Nice.  (I *hate* rain in the “winter.”)  I know a lot of you have been bombarded with way too much snow, but we’d like just a little.  A couple inches?  Enough to make those snow boots worth having? 

Today’s challenge at Splitcoast Stampers is to use stars.  Since I’m sitting around, tapping fingers, waiting as patiently as possible for Kim’s new sets, I thought I’d use her Baby Love set with a few stars added in.

Welcome Tiny Miracle

I stamped a tiny star in each of the circles on the one background paper, then covered a chipboard star with a coordinating pattern, layering a star ghost shape on top.  I punched two holes using my Crop-a-dile and tied some ribbon in my star “button.”  (I colored over the ribbon with a very light biege Copic marker to tone down the “whiteness.”)

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I’ll be back tomorrow!  I’m working on a cute idea for My Favorite Things’ adorable little Valentine Flopsey!  :)  Have a great day!
