Had the pleasure of meeting a fellow card maker through a FB group My Favorite Things Buy/ Sell / Trade. Kerys Sharrock a designer for Whimsey Stamps. Her blog is Scrappin’n’Happy! We kept the swap simple...just one generic card. Here is her adorable card using an older MFT stamp featuring Jolinne. Got a little crunched from the mail sorter...so heads up card makers when we make our cards dimensional with foam tape or foam backing. Normally she adds a piece of card board to help with that but sometimes life is so hectic we forget. No worries this card is so sweet, the sentiment is perfect...I’m glad we’re friends. I love Kerys coloring, she uses prisma pencils and the musical note embossing background. I am glad I reached out and made a new card making friend!</div>

For the soft sky..I used a Gaea bead as my art </div>

bead for this piece.</div>

I also used some Unicorn beads to represent the </div>

Went with a coin shaped focal gem stone bead</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that had the soft violet shades from the painting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Various Czech glass beads, a geode bead</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
were also used to pull it all together.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Golem Design Studio Beads,</div>

Nunn design toggle, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Multi color square lampwork bead,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tibetan coin bead with coral and turquoise, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Turquoise (dyed) Riverstone 6mm beads.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I pulled out the Coral, Yellow and Mossy green</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from the painting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The beads dictated the additional Teal color.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
and the bright silver.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
never thought to use the Tibetan beads </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with the Golem beads.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will call this a Happy accident.</div>

Welcome to Lori Anderson's</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bead Soup Blog party ~ Hoarders Edition.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My partner <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/96827460720000967/">Carrie Stalcup</a> sent me </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this lovely carved mermaid</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
out of peach Aventurine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She had been hoarding it for 15 years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wow!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her true age is unknown.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I say, "Keep'em guessing."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DfjYAuRMu0A/WMS8JZRubXI/AAAAAAAAGPI/2J4JwaNCuWY4xQA8-HYD3zHZ5WDYBsZigCLcB/s1600/FullSizeRender%2B%252897%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="262" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DfjYAuRMu0A/WMS8JZRubXI/AAAAAAAAGPI/2J4JwaNCuWY4xQA8-HYD3zHZ5WDYBsZigCLcB/s320/FullSizeRender%2B%252897%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Designing how I wanted to feature the focal </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
was great fun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the end I went with a wire wrapped bail </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and carried </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the copper wire wrapping</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
throughout the necklace.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Carrie also sent a lovely </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
array of pearls to kept her company</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on her journey to me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Alas they parted and went their separate ways. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But don't be sad, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
she made new friends with my</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Czech glass beads, Greek copper patina </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
beads and Greek fish hook link.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-drYE7_p7854/WMSzGFXX1VI/AAAAAAAAGOs/n9hOlTa9Hp4eyUOe-fCf6UxpqLiD9iT9QCLcB/s1600/FullSizeRender%2B%252893%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-drYE7_p7854/WMSzGFXX1VI/AAAAAAAAGOs/n9hOlTa9Hp4eyUOe-fCf6UxpqLiD9iT9QCLcB/s320/FullSizeRender%2B%252893%2529.jpg" width="258" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My peach jade beads seemed </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to play well with others and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
nicely complimented the focal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As did the Amazonite beads</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which reminded me of water.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm hoping her new friends make </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
her happy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-09yYIlSfQZ0/WMSzBeTu-HI/AAAAAAAAGOk/CpySbRWzYzIsLb64Fb_j8mK6QzF85XYmQCEw/s1600/FullSizeRender%2B%252896%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-09yYIlSfQZ0/WMSzBeTu-HI/AAAAAAAAGOk/CpySbRWzYzIsLb64Fb_j8mK6QzF85XYmQCEw/s320/FullSizeRender%2B%252896%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then this bracelet and earrings<br />
appeared with some of the pearls</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Carrie sent.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ocean Jasper, Czech Crystal,<br />
silver plated findings.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I received my beads that Carrie sent in</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
yesterday's mail,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for the BSBP Hoarders edition.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-O2GUwWcl1Jw/WKXaH9gnrEI/AAAAAAAAGME/LQHA_ViDB6A1orsb2CYypUrLpHIPj4K8QCEw/s1600/FullSizeRender%2B%252891%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-O2GUwWcl1Jw/WKXaH9gnrEI/AAAAAAAAGME/LQHA_ViDB6A1orsb2CYypUrLpHIPj4K8QCEw/s320/FullSizeRender%2B%252891%2529.jpg" width="267" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Packaged up so sweetly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and with a cleverly written note </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which I will echo here...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QF_ztjqX9Hs/WKXaB9exLHI/AAAAAAAAGMA/nPu-_JeIJEs6hUD7b5YvJbIk1-k6iNP5QCLcB/s1600/IMG_3549.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QF_ztjqX9Hs/WKXaB9exLHI/AAAAAAAAGMA/nPu-_JeIJEs6hUD7b5YvJbIk1-k6iNP5QCLcB/s320/IMG_3549.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little story of the focal bead is that it has</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
been in her collection for 15 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yep, that is some definite hoarding.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Treasured all those years and she chose to part </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with it for this bead hoarders swap.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a beautifully</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
carved peach aventurine mermaid.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dbkozE-9NaE/WKXaM3Hc1hI/AAAAAAAAGMI/7-A_D9Wg0nQ3ZmRZTm586iSMR3qo50pcACLcB/s1600/IMG_3550.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dbkozE-9NaE/WKXaM3Hc1hI/AAAAAAAAGMI/7-A_D9Wg0nQ3ZmRZTm586iSMR3qo50pcACLcB/s320/IMG_3550.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She sent her along with some pearls </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to keep her company.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But feels this shy little lady will make </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
friends with my beads </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in no time at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did pull out some peach jade 6mm beads</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that seem to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
compliment her quite nicely.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We'll see.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She should be getting what I sent today </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I will do another post </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
about what I sent soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank You So Much Carrie!</div>

Since I don't have the die to match this set,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did loosely fussy cut around the images.</div>

I popped them up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Used one of the MFT banner dies. </div>

Just using the two colors and the graphic</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
