Be Bold...

Good Morning!

It is Tuesday and time for another Ten Tuesday at 

Practical Scrappers!

This week the design team was challenged to create projects using

STARS!!!

For my project, I created a layout and added the negative space from three stars I cut using my Cricut.   I also added brads to the middle of the 3 stars that were part of the design in the patterned paper.   

The design of my layout was inspired by Page Drafts

The challenge is to using the sketch below along with the theme of "Be Bold!"
