Anyone for a Bookmark (DT Post)

This week's Anyone for Anya challenge is a BOOKMARK CHALLENGE!

I used the Furever set from The Greeting Farm and coloured the image with my copic markers.

This is my first ever corner bookmark and I used the tutorial {here} over at Splitcoast stampers.

 

Hope you can join us this week!

Pay It Forward Update... I have finally paid so no more PIF debt!

I can finally show this as all of my Pay It Forward recipients SHOULD have now received their little gift from me. I made each of the lovely ladies a personalised bookmark (with their name) and a little gift card. These parcels travelled to Sydney (okay not too far from Melbourne), however, two went to the United Kingdom and two went to the United States.

Hope you liked them ladies!

 Sorry about the shine on the bookmarks photo... I laminated them so they would last longer!

What's on your Workdesk? (Wednesday #87)

*** This is my second post today!***

Not much on my desk today as I have everything spread out on my kitchen table! My BFF (Hi Sam!) came over yesterday and despite the heat we had a fun-filled day of crafting, chatting and way too many cups of tea. Most of them went cold anyway and we do not drink cold tea! Yuck! Sorry I am waffling on... here is the photo of my kitchen table. I really should get it cleaned up so we have somewhere to eat tonight!

On the table you can see a bookmark that I have since completed (see below) and not much else. I neglected to photograph the messy end of the table as it is really bad. It will take me about an hour to get everything back into my craft room study (I am dreaming...I don't have a craft room! I share the study with my hubby!).

Check out my Pay It Forward post if you would like to receive one of my creations. (Please...it has been up since Thursday with no comments so I am feeling extremely unloved!)

ANYWAY... Here is the completed bookmark... For those of you who follow AFL Football he is dressed in Geelong colours. I don't so had to google it to find out the team uniform!

Bookmark Recipe:

Cardstock: White cardstock, bazzill (for football and name)

Paper: Sandylion grass paper

Stamps: LOTV Football Crazy. Stampendous For Him (football)

Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black, Versafine Black Onyx

Embellishments/Other: Copic Markers, Melon spica pen, Frosted Lace Stickles, White grosgrain ribbon, Navy satin ribbon, star button, floss

Thanks for looking...have a great day!

What's on your Workdesk? (Wednesday #85)

I missed last week's gathering of the desks as I was away on holidays with my family. I am very pleased to be back joining in the fun with everyone this week, linking up my desk at Julia's blog the Stamping Ground.

Now...what can we see on my desk today? Two new Hero Arts clings stamps, one has been strategically placed over my DT card that will go on the Anyone for Anya? blog on Sunday for the next challenge. I had a go at making a felt rose with my MFT Die-namics die. Not completely happy with it but will try again.

If you visited my blog before Christmas and read about me having to finish some bookmarks for a customer order I have added the pics below. Nicki (Hi Nic...I know you stalk peruse my blog!) loved them and the lady at work liked hers too I believe! I must apologise for the photos though. It was really hard to photograph them after they were laminated as they were so shiny!

Bookmark Recipe:
Cardstock: Bazzill, white cardstock
Paper: Basic Grey Max and Whiskers, Kaisercraft Sakura park, My Mind's Eye It's my Party
Stamps: Pink Cat Studio Prancing poodle digital stamp, Woodware oriental ladies, LOTV Computer Fun
Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black

Embellishments/Other: Copic Markers, Stampin' Up punch, Sizzix alphabets, Spica pens, Flower punches, Kindyglitz Crystalina, Buttons, floss, Marvy circle punch, assorted ribbon

Thanks for looking...have a great day!

Mad For Markers Anything But a Card Challenge

*** This is my third (and final) post today! ***

I left these until the last minute (of course) as I am entering them in the Mad for Markers Monthly Challenge - Anything But a Card challenge and it finishes tomorrow! My two lovelies have been after me to make them a bookmark each ever since I made these for my niece and nephew. So I basically killed two birds with one stone and entered the challenge and made my kids happy!

Please note that since taking the photographs I have removed the ribbons and buttons and laminated the bookmarks. Then I reattached the ribbons and buttons. Now they will last even longer and I won't have to fix them when 'bits' fall off! Clever huh!

Card Recipe:

Cardstock: Bazzill, Plain white cardstock

Paper: Scenic Route Metropolis, American Crafts Everyday - Good Morning, American Crafts The Goods - Sweet Pea

Stamps: TGF Mermaid Anya, TGF Skater Ian, Stampin' Up Fishy Friends, Hero Arts Galaxy of Stars

Inks: Memento Black Tuxedo, Versafine Black Onyx

Embellishments/Other: Copics, White grosgrain ribbon, Making Memories celery ribbon, Making Memories capri and rose ribbon, Kindyglitz crystalina and hot pink, Stampin' Up slot punch,Sizzix alphabet,nestabilities, star and heart buttons, white floss

Also entering this into Lili of the Valley Challenge Week 73 - Anything Goes


Thanks for looking...have a great night and goodnight!

Taekwondo Kids!

My niece and nephew recently achieved their red belts in Taekwondo so I thought I would make them a little congratulations gift. Using copic markers I coloured in The Greeting Farm Karate Anya and Ian digital images and along with some patterned paper, some die cut stars, glitter glue,  my trusty computer and printer...voila! As you can see two door hangers and two bookmarks. They look a bit shiny because I laminated them for extra protection.

Thanks for looking...have a great day!
