Crafty Sentiments - Anything but a card

Hi all, another Thursday another Crafty Sentiments Challenge but with a twist!!  This week we are all doing a bit of hopping (very appropriate in our house as my little Jess has told me she's just learnt to hop!)

Come an join us for some hopping and you might be the lucky recipient of two of the new releases, some absolutely gorgeous Christmassy characters.  The new stamps are absolutely adorable not to mention checking out the amazing new papers.

If you've arrived here from Axa's blog then you're in the right place if not why don't you start at the beginning at the Crafty Sentiments blog.

 This week's theme is to make something that isn't a card.  I often get bogged down in making cards so this week I made a bookmark using Christmas Amy.  I decided this would be a great Christmas pressie (we're doing things on the cheaper side this Christmas!)  I used Crafty Sentiments Christmas Amy (isn't she just adorable!!) I stamped her on kraft card and then coloured with my copics (after careful testing to see which colours work on kraft!) And I just had to make her pop by using plenty of Stickles.  I finished her off with a Papermania sentiment and a ribbon from my stash (I think it was one I cut out of a t-shirt - you know, the ones that keep it on the hanger but tickle your neck like crazy!)

Right now pop on over to Bev's blog and share some love :)
