Oh my..... Paper Moon Scrapbook Store here in Dothan shares its sister-Beading store in the same space. Every time I go in I have to wear my blinders (yes, just like the horses do!!!!). Today I left them at home and I finally crossed to the other side and discovered wire and beads for my pages! I started putting wire in my buttons... in the center of my flowers....and I ended up making stems and leaves! Then Ms. Kelley came in and introduced me to small beads (they have a name but I forgot it) and I filled my leaves with Glossy Accents and the small beads. They turned out so cute! Of course, I could not stop so I made a card too. The stem and leaves in this card are made with green raffia and metal wire (another technique Ms. Kelly taught me).
This is LT (stands for Lieutenant-"boss of the pack") the owner's youngest son. He stole my heart! I am teaching him Scrapbooking, Beading, Spanish and how to say Aunt Bea, all at the same time.
This is a canvas box I made with this beautiful line of paper. It will be a class here in Dothan in the near future.
I made this layout tonight, trying to catch up with Danny & Lexie's wedding pictures. This was the day Lexie found her wedding gown and bought it.
These are "Signing Sheets" for a Sweet 16 birthday party this coming weekend. Her theme is Masquerade and her colors are purple, silver, black and white. It's been a very busy and fun Thursday! Hasta manana amigas!

Hey girl! Uh, wow! Wow! Wow!
ReplyDeleteI do believe they are called seed beads. I started just a bit of beading when I was in my early teens (still have a tackle box full of them!). My first experience with putting sead beads on my LO was just terrible! LOL! But in my defense I had just started crafting!
Well I LOVE everything you've posted.
What I would do to come spend time with you and craft!
