FANCY MAKING A CORNER BOOKMARK?

Hi Everyone

Here I am .. .. bright and early(ish) with my creation for the Get Funky! Challenge.

This month the theme was set by my lovely teamie Debs and she asked for us all to use "spots and stripes" on our creations.

I decided I didn't want to make a card this time as I am a bit predictable with what I post .. . so came up with this:




A bookmark for attaching to the corner of your page.

If you would like to see how I made it then I have put a little tutorial on the Get Funky Challenge blog here.  They are really easy to make and great little fund raisers at fayres or great for popping alongside birthday cards or into party bags.

If you fancy playing along with the Get Funky! challenge this time round it would be great to see you but rember you need to use at least one Funky Hand paper or extra on your project.  If you pop over to the challenge blog you will see that there is a fab free paper available .. .. and you could end up winning a free download of your choice!!  Woo hoo!!

Have a lovely day everyone .. .. not too sure exactly what hubby has planned for today yet .. .. but we do need a journey into town as part of it.

Our garden will get a little bit more attention too but at the moment the noise out there is so loud.  Lots and lots of little birds calling to each other and tweeting and busily flying around the place.  Popping in and out of the hedges and trees.  Some clearly building nests and others just chasing each other!!!  They wear you out just watching them don't they?  Tee hee!!! 

Plus something else I want to know .. .. how come when we had all that wind at the beginning of the week were the birds still able to fly properly and bob along the ground without being blown over?

Anyway that is me for now and I hope I see you over at Get Funky!.

See you again tomorrow.

Love

  3. What a great idea Jules. Very useful and pretty into the bargain.

    I know what you mean about the birds. It was bedlam in our garden (and it's not very big either) earlier. The sparrows were getting very amorous and the bluetits were warning me off big time.

    Have a good day Buddy. BTW Jo's beautiful creation for Jenna arrived this morning. Even my OH said it was lovely!

    Hugs
