I teamed my "Sweet Stitches" products up with the Simply Adorned Jewelry line to create this adorable necklace.
~116853 Simply Adorned 24" Chain
~116798 Simply Adorned 1"x1 1/4" Beveled Glass Front Charm
The pink baubles are made from some tiny wooden spools I found at the craft store. I used Regal Rose Craft Ink to color them, then added some crystal beads that I had left from the now-retired "Pretties" kit.
I threaded strips of "Sweet Stitches" Designer Fabric and 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon through the chain links. The charm insert is made from a small piece of the "Sweet Stitches" Designer Series Paper.
You can make inserts for the Simply Adorned charms to match any outfit! It's very easy to switch them out. Plus, Stampin' Up! offers different trinkets/baubles/charms that attach to the chain with lobster clasps so you can change them quickly. See pg. 24 of the Occasions Mini Catalog and pg 189 of the 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog for all the options.
My Mom and I made great progress on Joey's "Spongebob" room while she was visiting. I've had requests to post pictures and I will -- just have a couple more things to finish.... :-)

This is a really cute necklace. I haven't played with the jewelry as yet. But I have to say this inspires me to do so. TFS
