I don't know about you, but I got a little carried away buying beads last fall for our
4th challenge with Ali Edwards. So, let's put those extra beads to good use. Your challenge is to use beads on your layout -- but -- you must
string them. You can use any size bead you'd like. String them with thread, fibers, wire, ribbon - whatever works for you. You can make shapes with your beads, as Jen and I did, use them to frame a journaling box like Becky, or as part of a design like Alicia.
Just post your creations here by Sunday, March 23rd. And the RAK for this challenge is a
Spoonful of Sugar kit from Studio Calico. So pull out those beads and get stringing!
Here's what the team did:
Jen used her beads to embellish her blocks of Love, Elsie patterned paper.
Becky used Queen & Co. beads to make both a rectangular journaling box and to outline shapes in her patterned paper.
I used wire to string my beads and shaped them into circular elements.
Alicia used daisy beads and strung them through Maya Roads ribbon, making a lovely vine with flowers.
Jen used cardstock to create these cute monsters accents.
Deborah used a variety of patterned paper to create these spaceships. She found pictures of wall-art for boys on the internet and used them as templates.
Alicia made these adorable Easter bunny and chick accents.
Becky made butterfly accents that reinforce her layout theme.
