JANUARY 2012 - BOOKMARKS

Well that made me smile this morning on this dull, wet and windy Thursday!! It's the sort of thing us crumblies are supposed to do --- not you spring chickens!!

not been called a spring chicken in a while patty.

Well I suppose it depends on the age of the old boiler hen saying it!!!!!

lol!!

Oh Kim LOL, are you sure its your fault !!! I've had things come back to me because the post office read my return label sticker and not the actual address going to.

Well, you made my day when I got your text. I cracked up.

Ah, but who to ??????? LOL

cheeeeeeky !!!

Well I officially hate Craft stamper, you'll be glad you didn't buy it, if you didn't that is.
I made my prototype last night, which worked, then I did one today, all the proper stuff, nicely stamp fancy aperture, blah, blah, blah, did the hole in the same place they did in the mag as my prototype had it at the end which meant the mechanics showed. Grrrr, why didn't they put the measurements for the bloomin thing.
I now have a semi lovely bookmark with orrible bits sticking out of one end or the other.
Plan B here we come, something simple!
No idea what I'll do for the 2nd bookmark, is a receipt ok? That's what DH is using atm.

LOL Karelyn, or a torn piece of paper....have used tissues before now too.

Oh dear, Karelyn lol. A bit of a disaster then. Still, another clue there as to what you were trying to do. I'll go look for something with a hole in. Can't say I noticed any bookmarks..but maybe didn't look properly, lol.

Cath, yours are here hun. They'll last a while eh? Pretty.

I've used envelopes and tags from off new clothes in the past lol

They're here Kim, lol.

I've done 1! will get other done tomorrow hopefully.

Ok, seriously how difficult is it to make a bookmark!!!
Just spent another 20 mins or so on the one that WILL NOT defeat me, then half hour googling bookmarks for inspiration, then half hour with the encaustic stuff out. Acheivement, stazon everywhere, embossing poder all over the desk, several strips of messed up card and no bookmark.
That's it, I'm off to darts!

Think I'm going to have to take my name off this one, Lorraine. Have cut the bookmark out, but can't think of anything else to do with it and no-one wants a swap item that just a piece of scrapbooking paper.

Lynda

LOL Karelyn, at least you are persevering with it.....hope darts went well.

Lynda, with all the lovely stuff you do and the recycling is there anything there for inspiration.

Still time yet Lynda. Have another try hun. It's a shame if you miss out.
Do what I do/did. I didn't have a plan, I just sat down, picked stuff up and did what came.

Karelyn,

That's what I did Lorraine. Had a spell of "I can't do this" at Mia's and she gave me a stern dressing down, saying Mumty, I need more "cans" and less "can'ts!" I did them when I got back to the UK, easy as pie. And Lynda you jolly well make at least one because I was counting on Lorraine sending me one of yours - they are always so lovely! Just think of it as a thin, narrow birthday card instead of a bookmark and you will be well away!!!! Get on girl. xx

A very skinny card. Good idea Patty.

I'd have no problem making one like a skinny card, Patty and Steph - my problem is that I want to make one that can be used, so no "bumpy" embellishments.
