Oh My Stars!

I am a die cutting junkie. All metal dies in my Cuttlebug....marvelous. But, I have a Cricut Expression that hasn't been used nearly enough. I even have several cartridges, so there are no excuses.  It was becoming a Provocraft show-down.

I decided to take a Cricut 101 class at a "local" scrapbook store (about 45 min. away) taught by Betsy Veldman. Of course she was great and I learned a ton about the Cricut! I finally figured out all of the functions, or at least enough to use my machine.

So...the Cricut stays. And I've finally made a card I'm happy with using the Cricut and some my other dies, and I decided to enter it into the Die Cuttin Divas stars challenge:

I used the Plantin Schoolbook and Joys of the Season Cricut cartridges for the big star and the little stars. The die is Papertrey Ink's Fillable Frames #10, and the doily die is My Favorite Thing's  Dainty Lace Doily Die.  Isn't this Fancy Pants paper pretty?

 There is a strip of pink glitter separated by score lines (can't quite see them on the photo).

I added a little stitching using denim thread....love that thicker thread...too bad my machine doesn't!

Thanks for looking!
