Cute Card Thursday - A different corner

Our theme for Cute Card Thursday this week is

A Different Corner

as always interpret as you like but some ideas might be to punch out the corner, to embellish the corner to use a corner die or whatever else you can come up with.

I thought a corner bookmark would be perfect!

I roughly used the tutorial by Beate Johns over on Splitcoast Stampers.

although I did make mine slightly bigger to accommodate my image and also adapted the design slightly but the tutorial is a good starting point.

I used Whimsy Stamps Tillys flower card one of the Little Cottage Cuties.

We are sponsored this week by Alota Stamps.

Thank you so much for dropping by!

Christmas Organizer

There is still time to join in the Whimsy Stamps Blog Hop and don't forget to leave a link on my post to be in with a chance to win one of Meljen's Designs new rubber stamps from Whimsy!

I was so thrilled to have won the 

Spoonful of Sugar Challenge last week so I absolutely had to play along again today!  Still trying to decide what to spend my voucher on at BunnyZoe crafts! So much to choose from!  

This week the challenge is Winter Wonderland!

So perfect as I have been meaning to make myself a 'Christmas Lists' book for a while, well probably years!  I always have one but it has never been 'altered' before!

I found this notebook in a Yard Sale for pennies and love it, it has lovely old paper inside and the outside wasn't too bad but not at all festive.  I soon sorted that out!

I love it even more now, it  is one of those books that feels as good as it looks!

Paper Sundaes challenge is all about changing seasons and as the snow and festive season will soon be upon us I thought this would be appropriate!

Bah-Humbug Christmas challenge asks for Favourite Cuties!

This one is certainly one of my favourite Cuties!  I even coloured the dog to look like our little pooch!

The stamps I used are

Lily of the Valley ~ skating along

Whimsy Stamps ~ 'Newsprint Ads', 'Holiday Ticket stamps'

Cats Life Press ~ Merry Christmas

Stampin up ~ post card and postcard

The paper is one of my favourites, Basic Grey 'Figgy Pudding - Pepperberry', I have used this every year and the year before last bought heaps of it but it is now sadly dwindling away!

Thanks for dropping by have a great day!  

Finally....the other bookmark!

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and those in the US had a great Labor Day!  We went to see the parade and did some other fun activities, this is our 2nd Labor Day which means we have been here over a year now!  Doesn't time fly?

At last the bookmark for my daughter, couldn't give my son his until this one was finished!

The Pink Elephant challenge this week is Back to School!

Cupcake Craft challenge has a book/story/reading theme.

Better make it snappy today, I am chasing my tail after losing a day I am still trying to convince myself it is Tuesday!

have a fabulous day!  

something cute!

My new super cute Lily of the Valley stamps arrived on Wednesday so I hoped to make this bookmark yesterday but things just didn't quite go to plan.  It would have fit perfectly into last week's Stamp Something 'back to school' challenge but luckily, this week the theme is 'something cute' yey, still works!

Moving along with the Times challenge this week is 'In stitches' and Paperplay Challenges is also 'In Stitches'!

My kids have been back at school for over a week now so too late for a back to school card but with them having to increase their reading for homework this year I decided a little help was needed!  

Hoping having a new bookmark will motivate them!

I got the cute little school girl stamp too and hoped to have a girly bookmark made but will have to get onto that later!

The papers I used here are Basic Grey 'Oliver'

Must dash, time to pick up the kids from school, have a fabulous weekend!
