Hi peeps - hope you are all having a happy week ?
This week, Mandi and Chrissie, the LIM Divas, have set us the challenge of using STARS at
LESS IS MORE. So after searching through my stash and finding very little star-inspired goodies, I went once again into that darkest corner of my craft room, and re-discovered this Woodware Cassette punch, which has several tiny interchangeable punches, including a tiny STAR!! Yaaay!
*********
Update - 7th Dec, - my holly wreath was chosen as a runner-up in the St. Luke's Charity November Challenge. Thanks ladies!

But what to do with it was the question!! But then I spotted a small Holly punch (All Night Media) - also very old, and so, a wreath was born!!
The holly leaves are punched from snippets of various different designs from the Papermania Verde Capsule Collection, and the Stars are punched from leftovers of red glitter card.
Ribbon from stash - sentiment from Hot off the Press (which is also quite apt for Mandi as she sails off into the sunset - have a great one Mandi)!
I am entering this card into the following Challenges:-
Jules' Snippets Challenge at ALWAYS WITH A HEART
