Papercrafting From Another Viewpoint: SuperStar L.I. Bloghop for August

Welcome back to our monthly Team L. I. Blog Hop! Our Team L. I. (Linked In) Blog hop group numbers have dwindled and we didn't want to bring you a blog hop with just 2 or 3 participants, so we gave everyone a vacation and hope that participation will pick up again once school is back in session and people are back from vacations.

We’re back from our July hiatus with a brand new theme and some really great projects. This month, our topic is “Super Star”, and we hope our interpretations of "Superstar" gives you some inspiration for your own superstar. The topic for this month was actually a reader suggestion from our June Hop contest, and I was really excited to see it suggested because I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it! I have a very special card to share with you. If you hopped over from Laura’s blog, you are in the right place! If you want to start at the beginning, you should head on over to Stamp-Patty’s. Or you can start right here and we will cycle you around to the beginning.

Win a prize at each stop on the hop: This month, instead of choosing a single winner for the entire hop, each blog will choose one winner among visitors who left a comment using www.random.org. (We’d like it even better if you subscribed to our blogs and/or like our Facebook pages, but all you have to do to qualify is leave a comment.)

Now, on to my Superstar card. There is a young man who was in my classes when he was in 7th grade. During the year, he had his problems with learning and completing his work, but he tried, re-did the work, and really put forth a fantastic effort. Over the years, we have kept in touch and this young man decided to join the Army. After a few years of trying one job, then another, this was his decision. He left for boot camp a couple of weeks ago, and is looking for mail. I have made this card for him.
