BG's 6x6:Infuse "Season" is one of our favorite papers used so far. We also like Obscure "Vague", Archaic "Primitive" (they look like seashells!), for 12x12 we like BG's Figgy Pudding "Glee" and "Trinket". We tried a few SU 12x12's but weren't so happy. Also one of our fave black & whites we thought would look cool are actually blah. I think the secret is the more obnoxious the pattern the better. Well here is the card that wouldn't let me get to sleep (stuck in my head). I am no Picasso, and I just couldn't seem to get a good photo (the beads look muddy only in the photo - not in real life)... but I am sick and give myself permission to just hit "process". P.S. My husband has decided I can make these bead cards for Christmas next year. I told him he can help make the thousand beads it would require - and he walked away silently...

Too cool. I can remember making these beads with my Nana and her church friends. It was such a thrill- I think I was about 10 at the time. Ww used magazine pages.
My club ladies would love too make this card!! And, I LOVE the papers you used.

This is great! Just last night I pulled out some beads and was trying to incorporate them into a card... but just couldn't think of a way (it was very late). I love the colors you used!
