a beaded WOWWW

When you visit Mary over at CARDZ TV, you get tutorial videos, challenges, prizes! She has linked up with Theresa from The Scrapbooking Queen for her challenge over at Paper Playtime:

Say it with Sentiments #63 and this month anything goes! And what can I say? I was am in a beading mood, recently I purchased metallic floss, seed beads, seed bead floss and a beading needle from a small cross stitch store in Dillsboro, NC.

I just love my goodies and look at that white trim! I can't wait to find a project to use that on! And I'm so happy I finally found a beading needle, you don't know how many beads I broke on my last project trying to force those puppies over the needle! lol

This is my card I came up with. I used the Winter Wonderland paper from Reminisce. I love, love the snowflakes on this paper and used them to sew and bead like a stencil. Oh and of course I added stickles to it too...hard for me not to use stickles...and I am sure there is a Freudian thing concerning glitter...lol

Now the one thing I have learned about metallic floss...it's a little stiffer and you do need to be careful pulling it through your paper. And the beading needle is sooooooo thin, think about using a strand of dental floss as a needle, that pliable too!

I also used my stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs, Mini Tags 1. I really need to keep up my stash of get well cards being that I am a Cricut Fairy so I thought this would be an awesome card to send to someone who was not feeling so good!
...and I hope that Julia from Stamping Ground doesn't notice that I'm taking a picture of my desk a day early ( she might not as she is currently in a baking mode and is busy in the kitchen! ) but I had my camera out and went ahead and did my "Whats on Your Work desk" picture. It's at night so the picture of my area looks a lot darker than it really is.  Play along with WOWWW, it's fun to take a peek around the world at other crafters mess desks!

                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Now I'm off to have a cup of hot chocolate ( with a smidgen of marshmallows ) and leave you with this thought...When you stop believing in Santa Claus is when you start getting clothes for Christmas!

and yes, I am still trying to rally from Blogger removing my other blog: as they thought I was spamming because I was doing a blog hop, so beware about visiting too many blogs at one time!! Any way, if your feeling generous I sure would love to build up my followers base again, I was almost up to 200 followers! Now starting over at ground zero...:(

Thank you and Merry Christmas!
