It's a blimmin' good job the visitors to Humbug Hall are so talented otherwise we Humbuggers would be feeling rather down in the dumps by now.
WHY? Well ... because ... it's almost the end of July and Summer has STILL not arrived here yet? We've had rain ... and thunder ... and more rain ... and hailstones ... and even more rain ... and lightening storms ... oh and did we mention the torrential rain?
Fortunately there is an abundance of fantastic 'eye-candy' entries to our challenges every week which certainly helps to bring some sunshine into our days, so keep up the good work everyone!
This week we are interested in seeing how you would use
Beads
Cast your beady little eyes ...*snigger* ... around all the nooks, crannies and crafty cubbyholes until you find your box of delightful beads ... crystal beads ... plastic beads ... sparkly beads ... micro-beads ... wooden beads ... in fact any kind of beads at all ... EXCEPT the 'beads of sweat' that are threatening to tickle your top lip, 'cos that's absolutely NOT what we want to see ... so hurry and wipe them away LOL.
The Humbuggers and our awesome Guest Designers have been busy 'beadling' about and you can check out our finished results below which we hope will inspire you. For more details about this week's DT projects, or if you just want to leave some love for Ann, Max, Abi and Kathy K please click on the links above each image to visit our personal blogs. We always really appreciate any comments or opinions you may have.

*********************
The deadline for this challenge is
12 noon (UK time)
Thursday 28th July 2011
Just remember ... have fun and don't forget to leave us a direct link to your project in our comment box so we can come and admire your creativity.
*********************
OK ... we've shown you ours and now it's your turn to show us yours. You are free to create whatever you like ... it doesn't have to be a card ... in fact, show us as many different Christmas Projects as you want to share.
