A Fall Decoration in the shape of a star.

Not long ago I found some nice looking stars made from bark at a craft warehouse sale.
I thought I would decorate them accoding to the four seasons.
So this is the first one and I used this autumn collection from Les Papiers de Pandore called Promenons Nous.



























I love the natural look of the background. I added a round piece of patterned paper and cut my photograph the same shape. I stuck some cheese cloth in between the layers and mde s paper border with my Martha Stewart punch.


























I cut the leaves from the embellishment sheet and the flower in the middle was made layering two different coloured retro flowers that I also punched out. The little banner also comes with the collection and I cut out the sweet letters for my title.


























I added a small threaded button to the tiny bird house, and another one to the sweet little cloud.


























Voilà and that's it! So so easy and so much fun!

A couple more close ups, just because....



I think this photo of Beatrice is so sweet, I have used it many times, but she does not like it much.
She says; I look silly mummy,... I beg to disagree....

Finally I will leave you with another nice thing we did at the week end. Victoria made these sweet cupcakes and we got to eat them. Yummy!
Victoria is big sis at our house now after Alexandra left on Thursday for University in the UK. We already miss her so so much. But I have spoken to her several times already and she is very happy


Thanks for stopping by!
