Vintage Bookmark

Hello! I hope you've had a lovely week and are looking forward to the weekend! I love that Friday feeling when you get home from school and can just chill out! Thank you for all your lovely comments about going back to school! I've had a really nice first two weeks back, and my little brother has really enjoyed his first couple of weeks of year seven and seems to be settling in well.

I made this bookmark for my mum, as she is in the middle of reading the Harry Potter books for the first time at the moment, so I thought I'd make her a vintage bookmark to use.

I've had this cute little Penny Black image for ages and have never used it before, but I think it's perfect for gift boxes and bookmarks because of its size.

I'm entering this into the following challenges:

- Cute Card Thursday - Anything Goes

I'm just off to make a card for a great challenge I've just spotted - will be back soon hopefully with a card, and then you'll see which challenge I mean!

I know it's only September, but I feel all cosy, because it's just started raining outside and we're having a roast dinner for tea, yum - my favourite tea! :)

Anyway, thanks for looking and have a great weekend, whatever you're doing!

Bye for now, love, Georgia xx

Chipboard Bookmark

Hi there! Hope you had a great weekend and the weather was good wherever you are!
It was a lovely day yesterday, so me and my mum and dad and brother decided to go to the cattery a few miles away from where we live to get some cat food for my cat, Fizzy. We had a look at some of the cats while we were there and we wanted to take them all home with us, they were sooo cute! :)

Here is a bookmark I made for my grandma, as it's her birthday in a couple of weeks. I used some more of my gorgeous new Basic Grey Green At Heart pad, and also used some new embellishments I got from the NEC in March.

I also used some of this Basic Grey chipboard I've had for ages, but I've never used it because I didn't really know what I could use it for, but I'm glad I used it on this bookmark, because I think it'll make it more sturdy.

I can't remember who this image is by, any ideas? It was sent to me by the lovely Jo, Boots the Monkey.

Finally, I'm entering the bookmark into this week's PaperPlay Challenge, where the theme is to use a stamped or digi image and add some bling!

Thanks so much for looking and have a lovely week! :)

Bye for now!

Love, Georgia xx

Simon Says Challenge - Anything But A Card

Hellooo!
I checked out the Simon Says Challenge blog today and the theme over there is to make anthing but a card, so I followed in Jo's footsteps by making a bookmark!
This is the first time I've entered this challenge, but I really like it - I'll definitely go back! :)

I've taken the picture withthe bookmark inside my favourite book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.



You may have noticed that I haven't watermarked my pictures today. That's because I noticed that when you click on one of my watermarked photos to zoom in, it doesn't zoom in as much as it does without the watermakr, plus it's a bit of a faff having to put it on every time anyway.

Materials

Image: Penny Black

Sentiment: Studio G

Colouring: Pro Markers

Embellishments: Ribbon, iced gems and adhesive gems from my stash - flower stamp is made by Studio G - sticky ribbon (behind image) is PaperMania

Thanks for looking!
