Corner Bookmark Challenge Extended!

This must be a crazy time of the month for everyone, so....we are extending this challenge for a few more days. You NOW have until this Sunday, February 28, 2009 at 9PM MST to turn in your bookmark. I am super excited about this extension, because I want to show you my bookmark. I lost the hard drive in my computer and haven't been able to put any of my pictures up. Fingers crossed I will have it in my hot little hands by this weekend.

Don't forget this challenge has a prize... and a fabulous one!! A gift certificate from our sponsor Pink Persimmon. They have really cute clear polymer stamps and now have some really cute 3D kits as well. Come on, show us your bookmarks!!!

Corner Bookmark Challenge

I love to read. Books, magazines, newspapers, blogs....I just love it. One thing, however, that I'm always needing is a bookmark. So, this week, Pam and I are challenging you to make a corner bookmark.

For some reason I am having a huge problem getting the template uploaded but I'll explain how this is made.

1. Start with a piece of 4" x 4" cardstock.

2. Mark 2" on three of the four sides of the square.

3. Fold in on the 2" markers to make a point.

4. Tape the triangles together and cover.

Check out StampingMathilda's blog for more great samples!

For Carrie's sample, she used the set Little Cuties from Pink Persimmon - isn't that little dog adorable? I can just see this being used in a young child's book!

Please submit your creations by Tuesday, Feb 24th at 11pm MST to be included in the gallery and to have a chance to win a gift certificate from Pink Persimmon.

We can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Hanging Heart Gallery

This was a great, and timely, challenge, don't you agree?

For Carrie's sample she went with a "wee" heart. She used punches instead of the template to make this small hanging heart. She used the Little Cuties and Swirl Journal sets from Pink Persimmon on this sample and the little candy on the front of heart is just so cute!

We were thrilled to see so many wonderful entries to this challenge and here is the gallery of amazing designs:

Hanging Heart Challenge

Happy February! Can you believe we are onto our second month of the 2009 already?!
For our first challenge this month we have made a template for you to make the ever so popular
"Hanging Heart" made from a "Petal Card" template. A cute little basket that you can fill with all kinds of Valentine treats for your loved ones. Just print out the template, cut two petal cards, score two of the flaps to get your heart shape. Attach folded flaps to a strip of paper measuring of 2"x 8 1/2" scored in half at 4 1/4".

Petal Card Template "Hanging Heart"


Pink Persimmon is our "Sponsor of the Month" and Pam used their Flower Garden set to create the little bird, butterfly and snail on this project. This set is so versatile and could be used for just about anything
at all! Remember to check out the prize that Pink Persimmon has for us to give away later this month. (February 18th to be exact)


This week play along and show us what your creation! We will draw a name and you will have a chance at winning a great prize from our continued sponsor Daily Window Products!! You have until next Tuesday, February 10th 9PM MST to leave a comment here with the thread link to your blog or gallery. We can't wait to see how you will decorate your hanging heart!
