something left in my cricut craft room

happy tuesday ) today our challenge at my cricut craft room is to make a card with something "left"

i made a guy card using the left side of the card for my die cuts.  

i used george cartridge for the stars that i cut at 2 inches and  attached behind some recycled packaging paper. i adhered the blue star on a popdot. i also added ink, twine , and buttons and  a brad in the upper corner.
