Happy Day!!!

My Mom loves her earring holder.  It turned out really nice, and matches her room beautifully.

Here are the pictures I promised.  Sorry about the delay.  Let me know what you think.

I backed the image with cardboard trimmed in black to add some depth and better frame the earrings.  Also I applied a matte finish to complement the satin ribbon.

Most of the paper that makes it way into my home ends up in the compost pile or the recycling bin.  Lately I have been noticing how much we receive that is non-compostable.  So with my efforts to try to reuse before recycle, and my love of crafting,  I took a recent ad I received and tried to make something more useful out of it. 
 
Since it is such a beautiful day I took my project outside.  Making paper beads is relaxing and quite a bit time consuming.  I really like the way they turned out though. 
 

 
I like the ones that I used the hemp with the most.  For the others, I used an elastic string on one and a salvaged clasp with string for the other.   I would like to try ones with more color next time.
