For my son's 11-12 All Star team the Mom's made these stars for them. We hung them on the dugout at every game. I really loved the way these turned out. The large gold star is an 18" cardboard cut from Party City. The black sparkly paper I bought at Target...love this! The other papers are Recollections Precious Metals. I did find that the usual scrapbook adhesives did not work very well when trying to adhere the cuts to the glitter paper. I ended up going back over them with good old Elmer's glue. Enjoy!

It has been quite a while since I created these, I really need to get back to work. To give you an idea of how far behind I am...this little girl is now 15 years old! There are some Cricut cuts in these as well as some Creative Memories and DCWV papers. Enjoy!

Oh my...where has the time gone. I have no other excuse for not posting except to say that life happened. The kids are getting older and more involved in sports, which has been so fun! My scrapbooking has been put on the back burner as well, as if I wasn't behind enough to start with. I now find myself with extra time and renewed energy to focus on my passions. I will soon post pics of some projects I have made during this time, so stay tuned!
