This week the Penny Black Challenge was to create a project other than a card. Since I had just made a bookmark using a large paper clip and I had some left I decided to make another bookmark. I like this one also (other than the ribbon, I need to find some yellow polka dot as I think that would be too cute!). These would make some easy fun Christmas presents for those of you…
Well are you sick of seeing my projects yet! I had so much fun and my favorite card hasn’t been posted yet. The first challenge I completed on Sunday was the one from Friday night I had not done.

I have enjoyed doing Julee’s Mojo Monday sketches. I find her sketches so easy to do. I have tried…
