Southern Scraps

Slowly, I'm getting back into the card challenges. Simons Says issued a challenge to use pearls and lace. I used a strip of lace under the ribbon and some pearls around my sentiment. I used the sketch over at Whiff of Joy and a Whiff of Joy Stamp. Paper: BasicGrey sugared Stamp: Whiff of Joy, MFT sentiment Accents: Ribbon, flower, hat pin , acrylic jewels, brad Tools: Marvy Markers I made my own hat pin embellishment. I have some listed in my etsy shop if you're looking for some of your own.

I'm on a mission to use up some of my stash, particularly beads, so I can make room for nicer ones for some jewelry projects. I used to make ornaments and have tons of seed beads, pearls, and faceted beads left over. Follow along to see future posts of ways I come up with to use my beads. My first "leftover" bead project is hat pins. These have become quite popular in card making and scrapbooking.  I also have left over pins from the bead projects. So, I took a corsage pin, slipped on some beads, put a little glue between the beads, and here you have my very own handmade hat pins. I'm linking up here:   Thanks for looking. You can pick these pins up in my etsy shop.
