Bookmark Challenge

I love to read and when I saw the bookmark challenge on Change of Heart, I knew I needed to create bookmarks. You also get a chance to win some great candy too. Double motivation for me to create! I created 3 bookmarks for this challenge. I tried to keep them looking as different from each other as I could but when you sit down to create, you end up making things with similar ideas (sound familiar?). Anyway, atleast the colors are all different. I went shopping today and picked up some new papers which I used for these bookmarks.



The first one you see above uses only one dp though it looks like two. You might be wondering why I have a teddy bear in the middle. Let me explain. I was thinking about little kids when I was making this one. Little kids like to hear bedtime stories and they snuggle in bed with their soft toys. So, thats where the bear comes in for my bookmark. I also have stuff toys on my bed but they are just there cause they give a good look and girls just love them, right? The colors are also sober enough so that someone older could use the bookmark too.



This is a green bookmark. I used a different layout on this one then the second one. Love how the punched butterflies fill it up. I wanted to place them in a sort of semicircle for a long time now and finally I did.



My scanner just seems to hate yellow. It always turns out really bright. This bookmark was inspired by spring. When its everywhere, how can you ignore it? Lots of bright colors used on this one. I got some nice printed ribbon pasted on and vellum stickers to match the dp. This bookmark is flat in the true sense. Everything on it is quite thin so no matter how many layers and embellishments are on it, its as thin as a single layer of thick cardstock.

If you like, you can also join in the fun by making a bookmark but you'll have to be super quick as the draw ends quite soon. You can find the link on my blog candy roll. The one that says Change of Heart- Candy + challenge is the link.

PS- Please ignore my poor picture quality. The USB Cable is still to be found.

Toodles and Binks

Toodles and Binks is a stamp manufacturing company. They are hosting a giveaway. The prize has not been revealed yet but it seems to be really big. You'll have to head over to their blog to see how you can win.

I still don't know how to add those small links in my posts where the whole link doesn't show and only a word or two do. So, till I get enlightened in that respect, you'll just see whole links in my posts. So, here is the link to their blog-

Don't worry, the candy will stay on top so you will be able to see it easily when u get there.

Art/ Share Blog Candy

ok, Here is something interesting I found on Libby's blog a couple days ago and I think it would be nice to give it a go.

The first 5 people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice! For you! Could be a card I am really pleased with, an altered object or something else altogether! My choice! But this offer has some restrictions and limitations:
1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2. What I create will be made with you in mind, so you won't get something I already made unless I think it suits you to a T.
3. It'll be done sometime this year.
4. There is a catch - you must offer this same blog candy on your blog! Let me know you're in, then re-post this on your blog and offer something you make - your choice - to the first 5 people who respond to your post. Add my name to the #1 slot on your list - I am your first participant. When you create your giveaway, you will become the first participant on the lists for the people who participate with you. Got it? :-)
Soooo... who wants to play??? :-)

I have the following ladies playing-
1. Betty - http://zacksnaat.blogspot.com/
2. Libby- http://stampinlibby.blogspot.com/
3. Ann Nabors
4. Rebecca
5. Yael - http://nushi1.blogspot.com



**********I have received responses from 5 ladies. This art share is now closed and I will not accept any more responses. However, I might do this again sometime so stay tuned!**********
