A Little Bit of Fun

January 16, 2011 by Robin

Aloha, all!

     What a week this past one was, and the coming week will be just about the same – packed with non-crafting activities!  I was able to squeeze in enough time to make all the packets for my Stamp-A-Stack class on Saturday, and we all had a lot of crafting fun then.  But that was about it until tonight.  After a day out with my dh, I came home and said, "I just have to get my hand in some ink!"  The good news was that I had a practical excuse for doing just that. 

     At Christmas time, one of the handmade gifts I made for some friends were bookmarks made with 4" paperclips.  What fun I had using the Jolly Bingo Bits stamp set to make those bookmarks (and that set will be back with us come the 2011-2012 Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog!).  Then last week one of those friends asked if it would be possible for me to make a few more for her to give to her friends.  In fact it was possible, because during the holidays I had mislaid one of the packs of paperclips – or else they would have been among the Christmas gifts!  But what stamp set would be a good one for a fun little bookmark without a holiday theme?

Paperclip Bookmarks

     It didn't take long before I touched my stamp set, For Everything.  It has just the cutest little motifs and I could do them up in a variety of colors.  So I made two each of the little bird (in Real Red and Pretty in Pink, with a Marina Mist Flower); the sunflower (or at least that's what I made it out to be with More Mustard and Chocolate Chip (including the brad), with a Pumpkin Pie accent color; and the 6-petal flower made with Marina Mist and a Pretty in Pink brad and accent color.

     This was fun, and just the kind of thing I needed to make after a busy weekend!  I hope to have a couple of hours to myself tomorrow for some crafting time, but that may be it until next Sunday night!  I'll be out of town (which where I live means I'll be hopping a plane to go to another island) for half of the week, and busy with some volunteer work most of the rest of the time.  But then I have to get ready for my Folded Album Class on the 29th.  I can hardly wait to share those projects with you!

     And however busy you are this week with work or other activities, I hope you have time to have a little bit of fun – and do something creative!

I have been stamping and paper crafting for over 30 years, and have been an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator for 14 years.

My favorite part of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is teaching others to enjoy crafting themselves. Not only do I conduct classes in person, I write tutorials for teaching anyone who has internet access. No matter if you're in my area in The Villages in Florida or anywhere else in the world, let me know if there's something you'd like to learn! Read More…
