I played around this week with some paper, glue & glitter. I had bought the large star which was cream metal with a bit of glitter on it a couple of years ago. When I hung it it looked just bare. I was reading some of my old mags down here and found the same star on the cover of Somerset Studio from Nov./Dec. 2008. It had been altered and was beautiful. I bought some sheets of scrapbooking paper , glitter and went thru my clip art file until I found a picture. This is what I ended up with. Not as good as the cover pic but it shows much better then it did before plus it was fun. I wish there was somewhere around me where I could get into altered books, etc. but haven't found anyone yet. I think in the new year I will sign up for an on-line class.

Your star is beautiful. It really shines. Happy holidays1 Sharon
This is gorgeous! You did a great job. I'm like you & wish I could take some classes, but there are none here either.
Great Job!
Love it. yes the books do look like fun. let us know if you spot a good class.
Oh, this is gorgeous! How did you do the star? Might you share a little tutorial with us?
Ha! Ha! like you (and I) need another hobby! I will be doing some altered/decorated boxes in 2010--can't always be about the fabric, can it?
My guess is that your paperwork will look like your CQ work. I did paperwork for awhile and it surprised me that the two looked so similiar. I guess "our style" moves to other hobbies too.
Freda, I love the star! I saw it in the magazine too. You did a beautiful job.
If you can't find a local class maybe you could invite your friends to a crafting day at your house once a month!
Merry Christmas Blessings!

Hope you don't pack the star too far away, so we can see it up close and personal when we get together...er....I hope soon. Hugs from Clermont
