So yesterday to drive to Maryland to take a class at The Paper Bead Girl store with my friend Laurie. We had such a great time. Below is a picture of what we made

The picture does not do it justice it is so beautiful

So today I split up the paper we purchased (really like I needed more paper!!! But this was all cut and ready to make into beads at least that’s how I justify my purchase) and made sample beads

Then I decided to take a piece of my many pieces of scrapbook paper and cut it myself and make some beads. See below pictures

Started out a little bigger

Cut into triangles

Finished beads

Check back for some finished jewelry
