Bookmarks!

From Adriel:

Wow, it's been several days since I posted anything on this blog! I do have something cute to share with you. These bookmarks!

The first one is one that I made and the second is one that my 7-year-old daughter made! Kayla loves to create, too! Actually, my 5-year-old son, Jacob, begs to make cards and creative things as well.

Anyway, wanted to share these with you. They are SO easy to make. Just punch out scallop circles in DS paper and coordinating CS. Decorate the scallop as you like. For mine, I first punched out a 1" circle, then took a 1-1/4" circle punch and made the ring. Then I used a 3/4" punch for the center circle. Just attached the scallops to the paperclip with mini glue dots and tied some ribbon on the side! All done!

Looks Yummy!

From Adriel:

I had a chance to play on Tuesday and enjoyed myself so much! I made a cute "piece of cake" box that turned out adorable, don't you think?

Anyway, it made me wish I knew someone getting married or having a party, because a bunch of these would make the cutest party favors! I got the template for these cuties from a fellow SCSer. The template she sent me is actually for a 3-tiered "cake". The "slice" I made was from the bottom layer. I just printed the template out on white cardstock, cut it out, stamped it, assembled it, and decorated it. The back opens so you can put something inside.


On a different note, I'm going away this weekend for my husband's birthday. My parents and I went in together and rented a cabin up in the mountains (away from this heat!) for his birthday. It should be a nice, relaxing time. I'm thinking about printing up a few more of these templates and bringing them along with me. I may have some time to play while I'm up there relaxing. I know my mom is bringing along a fun project to work on while we're there. You'll have to wait until we get back to find out what it is... have a nice weekend!
