Stick pins

One night this week I sat with my beads and pins and created these little accent pieces.

I love each one as a little piece of art!
I have always been fascinated by the grouping of beads and not much of a jewelery maker but still manage to have a couple draws full!
I will be giving one of these sets (3 pins to a set) away to one of my dear followers who comments on this post!
I will pull the name Monday and that winner will have two days to get back to me or else I will pull another name.

Enjoy and good luck. Remember: followers only - comment and come back to see if you win!

Snow Fun - playing penguins

I had this idea this morning and just had to get up to make it - yes at 6:00 AM!!!
Can you guess what I used for the ice skating rink? The flash on the "ice" may appear darker than what it is. I went "green" and reused an item.

Leave me a comment and if you are the first one to guess it exactly I'll make two of these cards and send them to you. Contest will end on Friday at 6:00 PM EST.

The cute penguins are cut from Zoo Balloo Cricut cartridge at 4" 3" and 2"
The title are stickers and I hand cut the clouds and inked them
The spinner card is one that you cut a 1/4" slot and use pennies and foam adhesive to make your element roll through the slot.
The ice arena I cut using my Coluzzle.

I am entering this into two challenges. Wish me luck!
here are the directions on how to make the spinner.
