365 Cards: Day 6 - Super Sketchy Sunday (Sketch by Wendi Robinson)

Can you believe it, we're already a week into 2013! Wow! How's everybody holding up with their New Year's resolution?  I didn't make any this year, but I do have high hopes for this year...

Let me welcome you back with a fantastic sketch from the 365 Cards Challenge Super Sketchy Sunday.

Are you ready for DT Wendi Robinson's sketch for you this week? Okay, here it goes...

I made "bookmark cards" using this week's sketch.  And the papers from the Webster's Pages Petite Papers - Sunday Picnic & Everyday Poetry are just perfect for them!

I made two of these bookmark cards.  Here is the first one...

You are one of my Favorite Things

Wishing You the Sweetest Things

I decorated the back of the bookmark cards as well using the reverse side of the designer paper, the side with the "big design".  And stamped a short and sweet sentiment on there, too.  Keeps it pretty inserted between the pages of a good book. :)

Do you want to see these bookmark cards in action?  Here you go...

How do you like that? :)

You want to see more? I am sure the rest of the Sunday girls got that covered.

After all that sketchy goodness, we hope you'll link up a project to show us your own take on the sketch. We can't wait to see what you all come up with! :)

Have a fantastic week ahead!

LO Project: Zoe's Corner Bookmark Favours

I have been a bit busy the past few days working on some birthday favours for a friend's daughter who is turning 10 in 2 weeks.

Here are the corner bookmarks I made.

The girly ones are more fun of course.

 But the boy ones aren't so boring after all...

I hope Zoe likes them.  And I hope her guests will have fun with them as well. :)

LO Projects: A Box and A Bookmark

And while the creative juices are kicking in, I wanted to try my hand into doing some non-card projects. 

I have done a few non-card paper projects in the past.  You may recall the lady purse template I worked on and posted here as a present for a friend's daughter's birthday...

So now with the help of my very good friend Google, I was able to seek out interesting templates for paper projects to try out.

Non-card Project # 1 - The 2-5-7-10 Gift Box

The cliche "Don't judge a book by its cover" won't apply here.  Don't you agree that the best part of a present is its packaging?  The effort put into the gift's packaging is far more deserving of one's appreciation.  And so, I give you this fresh and girly gift box. :)

This one is still empty, but who would want to open up this gift when the packaging is just too adorable.


Non-card Project # 2 - The Corner Bookmark

Your classic reading companion gets a makeover.  No more dog-ears.  Indeed a bookworm's perfect companion.

I made this one for a friend.  I "personalised" it by stamping in her nickname.  When I receive my new shipment of stamps from Inkadinkado (which I order online over at the EK Success Brands website), I should have more "sentiments" and images to use for these kinds of projects.

I have a few more non-card projects up my sleeve so keep posted.



P.S. Cheers to the SCS website for a having an immense gallery bursting with ideas and inspirations for paper crafting noobs like myself.
