Day 178: My Star

Since this is a birthday photo of my son, I wanted to focus on the number 7 and not so much on the football, so I put a piece of red paper (DCWV)  behind this blue paper with a punched-out star design. (This was in my stash, sorry I don't know/remember the manufacturer.) I used another piece of the red from DCWV underneath the photo. The big triangle acts like a giant photo corner.  I ran a small strip of red paper behind the photo to help carry the red color to the top of the page.  I accented the red strip and the corner of the page with some star ribbon from my stash.  I made a banner from the star and pennant chipboard pieces (Little Yellow Bicycle), a metal rod from K and Co., and some baker's twine from We R Memory Keepers. I used a Stampin' Write marker (Stampin' Up!) to write Happy 7th Birthday on the pennant.  I placed chipboard stars (Little Yellow Bicycle) in the center of each punched out start and then topped them off with metallic spirals from a kit by Creative Impressions.
