When I saw the Holiday Supplement I couldn't wait to get the Many Merry Stars Simply Created Kit. Then I went to Atlanta for World Card Making Day and saw the stars in person. I immediately thought, " I will make a couple of sets of these and have a Many Merry Stars Christmas Tree!" When the time came, I ordered three sets of stars. Putting the stars together takes some time. And due to the humid climate I live in I had to augment each star with more adhesive. SO I decided to postpone making ALLthe stars and created a wreath rather than a tree. (Now I have until next year to complete the stars for the tree.)
I cannot take credit for the idea of the wreath. The very talented fStampin Up Artisan Design Team Member Erica Cerwin at Pink Buckaroo Designs inspired me. She is uber talented and comes up with extraordinary 3D projects.
The base of the wreath is a flat wire wreath from Hobby Lobby ($1.99) that I wrapped with Burlap Ribbon. Then with my hot glue in hand I arranged my stars and glued them to the wreath. That was the very easy part.
I can't wait to hang this on the door to my office at work.
One more thing to share. Yesterday was my 30th Wedding Anniversary. I don't feel old enough to be saying that but I guess I am. I thought you might find this fun…then and now.
The time has flown by. The inside of my card to John used the stamp "Life doesn't have to be Perfect to be Wonderful". Over 30 years, life definitely had days that were less than perfect but our life together has been wonderful.
We have company arriving today for the holiday weekend. I am looking forward to having the house filled with love and laughter. I hope your holiday is filled with the same.
Stampin Hugs,
Michelle
