Dad, You're A Star

I have a hard time when I'm asked to create outside of my "comfort zone".  But it wouldn't be called a "challenge" if it weren't truly challenging for you to accomplish, right?  So, when I saw the challenge at Lily Pad Challenges when it was first posted, I decided right away to really "challenge" myself with this one, and make my project ON a star.  I knew I could get away with just "putting stars" on it, but I knew that in order for me to consider it a true "challenge", I needed to push myself.  This star, covered in red polka dot paper, sat on my work space for weeks with nothing other than the Father tag on it.  I finally got my "mojo" going on this STAR, and finished it.  This is what I came up with for my "Star Project".

I just LOVE using Kraft items on my projects.  VERY fun challenge for me...

Obviously, I think my dear old Dad is a star.  He is very precious to me, and I thank God that I have such a wonderful, loving Father.  I am also thankful to my Heavenly Father for all the gifts He has given to me.

Have a blessed day,
Karen

  2. Well worth persevering with this one, Karen.

    I miss my Dad more than ever at this time of the year but I still have my FiL to make a card for :o) At 87 he's showing very little signs of slowing down lol He lives to sing and he's wonderful. He sang at our son's wedding which was very special
