Bookmark for Sir

Good morning friends... wow, it's slightly cooler today, but still incredibly humid.  Going to be another stinker!

I was commissioned to make another bookmark and this one is for the Guidance Teacher. Hope Sir likes it. 

Inbetween making the bookmarks I have been busy with DT work and most of them will probably be Christmas themed, seeing that I've left my Christmas card making until the last minute, so I'm panicking a bit here!

Enjoy your Monday, hope the week turns out to be a good one for you.  We have Board meetings the whole week and our product partner year-end function to arrange for next week, so it's busy busy busy on the work-front!   ...roll on holidays ;)

Happy crafting, hugs Sharon x

Little Bookmark up for Grabs...

Howdy friends... If you've been watching the cricket between South Africa and Australia today, do NOT be fooled by the clear skies and sunshine... it was flippin' cold!!!  Whilst the rest of our country is sweltering in the heat (it's our Spring), we poor folk in the Western Cape were freezing today.  There was a biting cold and my sandalled toes were turning blue...  Couldn't wait to get home for a nice warm bath!

Enough chit chat!  I made this cute little bookmark this evening just for fun and if you'd like it, I'll be happy to post it to you.  When leaving a comment, just put a number next to your name and I'll put all the numbers in a hat and will get Kendall.org to select one. (Edit - OK, just realised that this'll be difficult seering that all comments need to be approved first, so just enter your email addy if you want to take part). If your email address is not on your blog, please leave it next to your name so that I can contact you if your number has been drawn. I'll keep this offer open until this Sunday evening. The only requirement is that you must be a Follower of this Blog.

They are really very popular right now.  I've been asked to make some For Sale, so guess what I'll be doing this weekend coming.  Thank goodness all my DT commitments are up to date for now, so that I can concentrate on making a few to place on my blog.

And now for a view of the back of the bookmark...

Thanks so much for popping by. Your visits and comments really make my day... hugs Sharon x

Margeaux is Painting...

Hello friends... It's been ages since I've used Sarah Kay's Margeaux is Painting.  She's a real sweetie. Once again, I've been commissioned to make 2 more bookmarks, but have only completed one this evening, which I thought I'd share with you all.  Demi liked her Clowning Around one so much, that she's asked me to make 2 for her teachers.  This one I believe is for the Art Teacher.

Here's a side view pic so that you can see the opening, which fits perfectly over the page of a book.

The designs are my own, as I don't have time to look for any on the internet.  Wendy, if you're visiting, I promise to post a brief tutorial soon.

And this is what it looks like when fitted over the corner of the page.  As you can see it fits snugly and will not fall off.

Hope these bookmarks aren't boring you, but they are such fun to make and it fills the page of my blog.

Take care, hugs Sharon x

Another Bookmark to share

What a lovely Sunday it is... hope you're enjoying yours ?  My bookmarks are proving to be quite popular and I was asked to make another one.  The recipient apparently loves cats and bright colours.  Thank goodness I remembered that I had this old stamp hidden away somewhere.  Hope she likes it.

Here's a view from the back



Someone asked if there was a tutorial for these bookmarks.  These are my own creations and I've written down a brief instruction how I go about making them, should you wish to try them yourself.

Thanks so much for popping by.  Enjoy what's last of the weekend.  hugs Sharon x
