This week at
it's Doni's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Star Struck!" which just means that she would like to see stars (or a star) on your project.
Before we get to my make, I need to take a moment to apologize to fellow Girlfriend, Kate. I'm very sorry, Kate. I take full responsibility for my actions. I should have known better. I really, really, really, really, really shouldn't have posted a card last week that said, "Let It Snow". Due to my carelessness with die cuts, the temperature in Ontario, which was around 27º-28ºC last week (unheard of for April in Ontario), has plummeted to hovering around the freezing mark, and it's been snowing on and off since yesterday. Kate (and all other Ontarians), I hope you can forgive me.
Now, after that heartfelt apology, did I do something this week to encourage warm weather to come back? Nope, I didn't. In fact I so didn't that I've actually made another Christmas creation. But.....
....at least this one doesn't even hint at snow. I made a tree ornament! Got some funky corrugated cardboard from some packaging and used it for the base. Twine is upcycled too, it was used to attach at tag to a pair of pants my daughter had bought. Second week in a row for a shaker....that's what happens when you don't clean your desk between projects....you just decide to use what's already out - ha!
So, why not give our challenge a go this week and join us? And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.
