Julie Shane says:COOL idea for a challenge Cindy! I’m in. What are the “rules”?
On Jan 31, 2013 at 8:33 pm #
NY Bella says:Love all the hearts! What? Another challenge?????

Beadlady3 aka Cindy says:Since I don’t know everyone’s budget, obviously, I thought I’d leave it up to you to pick a heart. It just has to be the “main” element of the design. Not necessarily front & center of course.
Pick a heart, any heart(s) – and let’s get designing! How about if they get posted by Feb. 12 to give everyone time to order (if needed) & create?

Beadlady3 aka Cindy says:I forgot– or make a heart from wire or whatever!
We have some great wire artists out there.

Luna Chick aka Coral says:Like Susie, I am not a heart person. But…maybe this is an excuse try out a necklace along the lines of my gothic garden pick with that Earthenwood Tattoo Rose pendant. Darn it, why didn’t I buy it when it was POD. That will teach me.

OK Jacki says:Julie, I saw ,and I love!!! It’s going to be really, really tough to beat that awesome design you posted.

Elis Mom says:I never got past the BB, and the bling isn’t looking too good either…sigh.
I’ll try.

Beadlady3 aka Cindy says:I am not much of a heart person either, “sappy” is not my style! But I don’t mind going out of my comfort zone now and then.
Glad to see our first entry!

Crazy Chick Frida says:Ok soo we have until the 12 of feb to post? Or was we supposed to post on the 12 of feb? I don’t mind either way… So Julie doesn’t get stressed
I have almost two hearts done

Elis Mom says:I don’t know if I can handle all these challenges!
On Feb 05, 2013 at 12:33 pm #
Crazy Chick Frida says:Yes you can Susie, just put some hearts on your Gettho sled of yours

Asia says:You girls are having another challenge? I will have to pass on this one, I don’t think I have any hearts or time
Good luck to everyone
