The Pennywise Arts Yahoo Group

is a community of stamper/crafters from

all over the world that share a passion for

art, swaps, micro beads and friendship.

Established in 2003 we have grown deep roots and lasting relationships.

We welcome new members and look forward to meeting you!

Our blog hop is a special event to help us get to know one another.

We hope you’ll hop on board!

For this hop I have created the above card

using micro beads which is a staple selling

item that drew all of Pennywisers together.

Micro Beads are beads with no holes

you will either love them or hate them.

You love them because they are unique

and give an added dimension to your crafting

and you hate them because it is almost the size

of coffee sugar

and boy if you drop some on the carpet

you can kiss it goodbye

or let the dog lick it up!

I used one of my oldest and

most favourite stamps

Dance of the Butterflies FF 7051

there are 2 sizes to this stamp

Ink: Memories Black inkpad
