Sorry this is later than usual...just got baby down for his nap.
This week prepare to be bedazzled with all the creations here as the way's to use it challenge is to find ways to use BEADS. You can use microbeads, seed beads...any kind of bead at all. Be creative and find ways to add them to your project. You can make cards or anything else that strikes your fancy. Be sure to post any tips or techniques that you may have and above all, have fun! There is no time limit, card limit, prizes etc., just play along... I challenge you.
Please remember to put WT48 in your keyword section when you upload your card and post a link back here as we are all looking for great ideas.
Ooooo! Julia, great challenge! And I absolutely love your card!!! I must play. Maybe I can sneak last week's challenge in on this one, too - never did get it done!
Ooo! I dont have any beads! Hmmm, Im off to the craft store!!!!!!!!!! I planned on getting some micro beads this month from SU too!!!! Ooo fun, its gonna be a fun, beady, weekend!!!!!!!!!!!
Julia, I love your sample!!! Great card!!
Somehow all of you challenge hostesses seem to know just what's on my to-do list of things to try!!! Now to find some time...or rather, incentive to get myself going again!
Well, now I am really, really bummed! I have my card all stamped & ready to put together & in my total lack of organization, I can't find my 'tiny' container of clear microbeads! I've got red, blue, green, gold, mixed, but CLEAR??? not a sign of them!! I probably put them somewhere so they'd be easy to find -- HA! I guess I'll get some other things done & come back to search & pray some more in a better state of mind. Later...

Don't have time to play right now~gotta help serve lunch at DD school. But this card was from my workshop this month. I let the girls decide if they wanted blue or pink, this is the pink, if you want to peek at the blue it is in my gallery. FYI for shaker card, drugstore.com sells 1/2 x 150 inches foam tape for $3.99, no tax and no shipping if you buy over $25! This was a bargain compared to the prices in my area.;)
This is a super challenge. I haven't used my beads for a while now. I have wanted an excuse to use my large glass pebbles too. So this card was made to use all my bead type things. This was so much fun I may do another card tonight.
Thanks for the challenge.

I think I need to be a little more adventuresome with the beads! This will definitely be a "challenge" for me!!! Thanks!!
Julia, great challenge! I am so psyched because I just FINALLY got some micro beads last week. Haven't had a chance to do anything with them yet, so I will definately be making some time to play along. I'm excited to get inspiration from all you other ladies, too!
Sounds awesome! All I have are clear microbeads....wait....I have some little blue beads that I thought looked pretty and didn't know what to do with them. Now I do!!!

I have a question for everyone that is covering the whole picture. How do you get the beads to stick? All the cards are wonderfull I would love to try this challenge.
Is there a tutorial for ways to use beads...I went to 'resources' and didn't see one, unless I just missed it. I have beads but I don't have anything for embossing yet. I do have sticky tape, wire works, two way glue...would any of that work. Thanks for sharing info....

Here is mine pending approval. I used this funky new bead stuff called liquid bead. It was messy and took a long time to dry. Would be interested to hear what you think of it. It is thick. Thanks for the challenge, Julia.
Well, I'm back -- it's definitely a whole lot later than I had planned. I found my beads, but DH needed me to meet him at the office to give him a ride to pick up the kids' car at the service center. It was very snowy & slippery out, so traffic was moving about 30 mph on the freeway. I was trying to change lanes & did a 180 across 3 lanes. Praise the Lord there was not a single car anywhere near me. I was able to get turned around and continue on my way.
Then I had 2 orders delivered & needed to go thru those. I was finally able to get back to stamping.
Sorry, I deleted the original because I really didn't like how the sentiment got buried in the background. I layered it instead & re-uploaded. It's approved now.
