I have to wait for the lawn care guy to leave, and for the dust to settle before I can get to the 'big' jobs I have planned for today. Wash the patio doors, the kitchen windows, the side door windows, and wash floors. Plus the assortment of things I need to do to get ready for the graduation party here on Sunday. Couldn't just give the inside a 'lick and a promise' -- it's supposed to rain on Sunday, so that means inside and outside need to be well done. All my friends say to wait and clean until after the party, but I just couldn't let people in if the place is a mess. So I'm doing a quickie post. My super nice neighbor's birthday is also Sunday, and I wanted to get a card made for him. I'm 'borrowing' the colors from Geri G.'s Gallery Idol card, and btw, she made it to the top 15! Woohoo! Big congrats to her!
Here's what I made:
Bazzill white cardstock, scraps (again) of all other cardstock, a piece of transparency paper on which I stamped hb using an older, but still great stamp from HA. I cut stars with my Cricut, and added a bit of bling. The white star is popped up. I should have taken a close-up of it, but I've already walked it over to my neighbor. It was pretty easy to make, and I've got to run for now, so will get moving and get work done, then will catch up on the comments I need to leave on all your wonderful blogs. I apologize for being so far behind with all of this. Happy dances everyone.

My first thought: WOW- wow-wow!
really stunning job Bev!
You can tell the white star is popped up and that is what's so great about the card. It really stands out.
WOW - busy weekend! Sounds like you are most amazing hostess, and yet, in the midst of all that is hectic and requires attention, you manage to create a fantastic card! What a wonderful take of Geri's card colours - and yes, woot woot on her win!! Your neighbour will be delighted not only the card, but your thoughtfulness in making it 'specially for him. Enjoy your weekend - looking forward to *hearing* all about the celebration when you've had a chance to refresh!

No need for a close-up, Bevie, it is all starry clear from where I'm sitting! You captured the sketch and Geri's colors perfectly!! I love that soft aqua accent with the other bold colors! Isn't it just so thrilling about her win?!
