Papercraft Star

Hi there!
I hope you all enjoyed your New Year's Day
DH and I took a drive and ended up at Debenhams where I spied a couple of lovely coats ... Thing was I just couldn't make up my mind which to have ... So my hubby decided to buy them both for me!
I have a birthday coming up and we also have our wedding anniversary in a few days so they are my gifts ... Lucky me!

I'm here today to share my DT project for Papercraft Star ... well this week we are actually sharing our best Papercraft Star project of 2012 ... 
I only joined the lovely ladies on the Design Team in May of 2011 and to pick one project from the countless challenges Jan has set for us was really hard ... In the end I settled for the project I made for challenge 119 which was a Warm Beverage... The original post is Here


I remember feeling stumped when it came to this challenge ... But as it turned out it gave me the opportunity to make a card and gift for a friend at church who was going through a rough time ... and you know we Brits Always drink tea ... especially in a crisis ... we say "I'll put the kettle on .... " whenever anyone calls or wants to talk ...


I know that my friend really loved this little set ... But most of all it cheered her no end to know I was thinking about her ... sometimes when things are bad we can feel abandoned even though we are not



So I guess that's why I chose this project ... because I know it helped someone to feel better ...

So what was your best project of 2012? Do you want to share it with us at Papercraft Star ?because we would love to see it ...
Don't forget to take a look at the Papercraft Star blog to see which projects my sweet team mates have chosen too ...

Have a beautiful day

Till soon
