Christmas Star

Good morning, Friday has whizzed around pretty quickly this week! I have to confess that most of my 'papercrafting' this week has involved wallpaper! The decorating is coming along - but boy, will I be glad when it's done! I have kept muttering threats under my breath and grumbling about whose stupid idea it was to decorate the lounge - but as has been pointed out to me, it was my idea....!  But I don't deal well with the house in disorder (although with the constant comings and goings of a house full you'd think I'd be used to it!), so I'll be very relieved to get things back to normal - well, as normal as our house ever is.

Anyway, less of my waffling! As it's Friday it's time for a new challenge over at Totally Papercrafts - and the theme for this week, chosen by our lovely Laine is 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Christmas Star'!  So we want to see stars somewhere on your creation!  My contribution for this challenge is

I've used this gorgeous stamp from LOTV, and coloured her with promarkers and pencils, with added stickles and pearly bits! 

The backing paper is from Joanna Sheen ('Haberdashery' pad!), and the stripy one was a freebie! I've added some stitching and lace. The spotty ribbon is also from Joanna Sheen. The sentiment is from LOTV. 

We're sponsored at TPC this week by 

So do join us with your 'starry' creations! 
Back soon,
