More Bookmarks!

Here are some more photos of my bookmarks. I am still unsure as to how I should embellish these, but once I do I will take some rather snazzy photos and share =)


What do you think?

Bookmarks!

Even though they are still a work in progress i thought id share some photos of my bookmarks =) Theyre so easy and fun to make, I could easily make millions!!



The top row are my first attempt at bookmarks, and the 2nd row are bookmarks I just made today. I think I prefer them with a long narrow strip up the centre rather than a squat piece in the middle. I've been toying with the idea of making little charms to hang from them instead of a length of ribbon.
What do you think?

2 new cards!

So I finally got my act together and made a couple of cards! I've also made some book marks, but they're not quite finished yet so in 2 minds about posting photos of them.

Anyway, here are the cards ...

The first is a thank you card I made so i could use my new flowers I'd purchased a while ago 'just because'. I really like this card and think I will make more "colour themed" cards.

This card is a custom made card for my Mam's work friend. It was all a bit last minute and my mam is very choosy about what she likes so it took aaaaages to get a design together! But this is the finished result and she was chuffed with it.



I like the colour scheme on this, it isn't something I would normally go with.

Confession time!




Since my last post I haven't made ANY cards! =( I've made a poster though, which is going into local sheltered accomodation to try and boost my sales. And I've made an agreement with the warden there to let her have some money from each of the sales to go towards the funds for events they hold there.



I'm going through the phase of doubt at the moment, wondering if I can really do this or not. I suppose everyone goes through this though. I need to change my Etsy, and I need to make loads of BEAUTIFUL cards and get them online! It's finding the time and the inspiration to make said beauties that's the problem at the moment.
