Bookmarks LVII: Crooked Conifer

Well. While I had the turquoise and kraft and red out for this fortnight's Lawnscaping Challenge, I figured I might as well make a couple more entries for it. So this is the second one -- the first was the wordy birdhouse bookmark I posted earlier.

Of course, I should have actually brought out some Lawn Fawn stamps too. I'm really not sure what I was thinking.

Oh, no, wait, I'm pretty sure I was thinking "I MUST USE ALL THESE SHINY NEW THINGS I JUST BOUGHT," but honestly. Oh well. Next Lawnscaping challenge, I'll use Lawn Fawn stamps -- I can practically guarantee it, because some are coming in the mail, so they'll be the shiny new things.

I'm entering this bookmark in the following challenges:

• Lawnscaping Challenge #47: Turquoise, Kraft, Red
• Eureka Stamps #17: Winter Wonderland (it's pretty wondrous when the trees are red and turquoise, I think... well, maybe weird rather than wondrous)
• Charisma Cardz #48: Christmas (they may be oddly colored Christmas trees, but Christmas trees they are...)

Supplies: (the stamp is from a cling rubber set by Ditto / Hampton Art, and the washi tape is by Recollections / Michael's)

Bookmarks XLIV: Time Vines

No long meanderings from me today; my own clock is ticking towards deadlines rather faster than I would like.

I made this bookmark mainly for this week's challenge / 3rd anniversary celebration at The Play Date Cafe. The bit where their color scheme fit some of my paper scraps didn't really hurt either!

Of course, it also seemed appropriate to enter it in Creative Craft Challenges' 3rd Blogoversary "Three" challenge. I guess this is a good time of the year for 3rd anniversaries!

You'll notice I set the clock to 3:00; that's why I thought it was appropriate for both.

Someday I will remember to stamp intricate designs on not-intricate-designs paper. Oh well, it works well enough; at least the embossing powder is a different color than the backing paper.

I've photographed this bookmark against a page of The 13 Clocks, by James Thurber, which seemed fairly appropriate.

I'm entering this timey-viney bookmark into the following challenges:

• The Play Date Cafe: 3rd Anniversary Celebration
• Creative Craft Challenges: Three (three colors, three patterned papers, and 3 o'clock!)
• Eureka Challenge #11: Things With Wings (bird on top of the clock)
• Creative Inspirations Paints: Anything Goes
