Non- Birthday

Blimey, that week and a bit whooshed by!! I was hoping to craft more during this "stay at home" time but the kind weather, while it lasts, has meant more time outdoors.

So, I have a cute book mark to share with you today. The new theme at


is Favourite non-Birthday occasion. For me it was an easy decision...Christmas so I made a book mark.

The cute reindeer and tree (Coloured with Flexmarkers this time) are from a Clearly Besotted set that I chose (among others) following a Challenge win early in the New Year (when Brexit was headlining!!).



The bookmark itself was die cut from a lovely MFT die set. The message on the banner was white powder, heat embossed and I used three complimentary coloured seam binding ribbons to finish it off. I think I might make more of these, it was great for using up scraps.

That is all for now except to say that I hope you are all well and untouched by this nasty virus, particularly those who are in the face of it. 

Keep well friends xx

Such a fun bookmark, I love the little reindeer and tree. The days are wooshing by (I may have to borrow your word). I just wish this COVID would woosh it's way out of the world and we could return to life as we use to know it. Stay safe my dear.
