STAR DANCE

Hi Everybody

I hope you have all had a good day.  Bit of a cold start today don't you think?

Sorted out my "J" key.  Gave my keyboard a blast with the can of compressed air and along with rather a lot of dust and hair flew out the biggest crumb .. .. .. how on earth it fitted in there in the first place I have no idea!!  But judging by the amount of mess that came out I think I should clean it a bit more often!!  Mucky girl!!

Back to sharing a Christmas card today .. ..





This one used:

Image:  Penny Black "3737J" Star Dance
Backing Paper:  Pink Petticoat
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat
Josy Rose:  Star Nail Heads
Glamour Dust
Star Dust Stickles
Ribbon, cord and brad from the stash box

I drew just very thin lines with a fine glue pen and sprinkled with the glamour dust to give the wreath just a tiny bit of sparkle.

I think you can just about make it out from the photographs.

Well what did my fellow bloggers think to The Apprentice?  What was the woman team leader like?  At the start she was so insistent on being team leader saying "this is my bag" that I thought she was going to be a real star and the challenge was going to be right up her street  .. .. .. I know from her experience it should have been .. .. but it just shows how people can "talk the talk" but not necessarily "walk the walk".  I shouldn't really pick fault though because I couldn't do any better.

OK .. .. back to more Christmas cards.

Have a lovely evening everyone.

Love

    Love this Jules, the colour is gorgeous, nice change from the usual chrissy colours, the bow and the stars finish it beautifully.

    I'm with you on the Apprentice, what a plonker she turned out to be, all talk and no action, what a pity she wasn't fired!

    Jules, you make too many cards, every time i come here you've done at least 3, i can't cope,lol. I've always loved this stamp and you've done such a good job with it.The little stars and the bow make it really special. I've the same problem with my r key i always have to use spellcheck, maybe i've got a huge crumb too. Di.xx

    Thsnks for the tip about using a can of compressed air to claean the keyboard. Usually tip mine up side down occasionaly to remove any bits but tha air sounds a more efficient solution. Love that card by the way.

    Oh Jules, this card is truly gorgeous. I love the deep turquoise teamed with the black and the sparkle shows beautifully. Very special!

    Today was special too because postie brought me my goodies from you, you lovely lady! Such beautiful ribbons and fibres and those buttons and charms are gorgeous. My absolute favourite bits in there are some fab clear buttons with what looks like black lace embedded into them. I will be very reluctant to use them, Lol! I think I'll just get them out every so often and move them around to get a good look, Ha Ha!

    Thank you so very much.

    Hugs

    Such an elegant card Jules, I particularly like the beautiful teal youve used, it gives it such a lovely fresh feel.

    Oh I had to laugh at 'blondie' too, she pulled the most amazing faces and when she calculated the bread roll costing £1.82 we shrieked!!
    But, as you say, who could blame her really with the cameras following her every move. I guess she could just envisage herself facing Lord Sugar for the firing at that point!
    I really wasnt sure which team would come out ontop as they were so close, or should I say, both were as bad as the other!!
