Friendship Earrings & Giveaway

Happy Friday! This morning I have my first ever challenge for Crop Suey to share with you. I hope you'll stop by the blog to see what the other girls cooked up! I was browsing through the DT forum the other night and there are some amazing projects!

The theme for the first challenge is friendship. You can interpret this in any way you see fit. I chose to make a pair of earrings to give as a gift, perhaps to a friend to say thank you. My earrings are made from Czech fire-polished glass beads, rhinestone rhondelles, and Swarovski pearls.



I used my silhouette to cut out the box out of a piece of PTI vintage cream cardstock. The leaf image is from Unity's October store kit of the month stamped in Palette Burnt Umber ink. The ribbon is chocolate satin from my stash.



I made a tiny notecard to go along with the earrings. It's 3" square. I used the same leaf stamp. The quote is from Unity's Everyday Adorable kit stamped in Palette Burnt Umber ink. I popped it up on dimensionals for more interest.



And here's a not-so-great photo of the set together. I used a piece of acetate to cover the hole I cut in my box with my square nestabilities.

Now, for the fun part. Since I've been lucky enough to meet some really wonderful people through blogging and have some great opportunities come my way, I thought I'd say thank you by offering this little set up to one random winner.

To be entered in my giveaway, simply leave a comment on this post telling me what you're thankful for so far this year. Unfortunately, this is open only to US residents! I'll leave the comments open until Monday the 25th at 11:59pm and post the winner Tuesday the 26th.

Have a great weekend!
