Here is my project for the hop... a little out of the box for me, huh???

I love the play on textures with this heavy stone supported by Lovebug's new sheer ribbon.

I have been meaning to try wire wrapping for a while - not too bad for my first try, I think.

For this kind of ribbon I had just the right closure to hold the ends for the fastener.  Since this one went so well, there just might be more jewelry in my future!

 Keep reading... there is blog candy and more hopping!

The art...er craft, of the CASE

CASE - Copy And Steal Everything... I do this a lot.. A WHOLE LOT! When I buy a new stamp set I go to Split Coast Stamper's AMAZING gallery for inspiration. Or Pinterest... also known as where I am at 4:45 at work ;)
I bought a new (ok a couple new) sets from Stampin Up this month and went on my usual quest. Which led me to this super cool card on Pinterest -

Except... I didn't have twine and after I embossed the paper, stamped and embossed the image, I realized by circle punch wouldn't go in the page like the example. So I used a nestie...only I didn't have a round one. And I had these great tags and I am not super crazy about sentiments stamped and embossed over. So I added that, too. I think it looks good. Seven of these to the OWH Box

So good, I turned it sideways, added the swirly ornament and did it again...six times for OWH!!

OWH VCMP: Christmas is for Kids & Seldom used tool

A kiddie challenge for the afternoon. This also counts for my sadly seldom used cricut for the challenge at Sharing My Work for OWH.

Scrapping with Purpose

She also asked that we make an any hero card - so I made five in the green.
