And another gift idea....

Following on from the Sweet Pea gift idea below, I've been using my Papertrey set of the moment - Friendship Jars to make gifts this week. Oh how I love that set and its Filler companion sets. My friend Doreen had a special birthday a week or so ago (which I forgot!!) and I wanted to make her a little something as she really likes hand made gifts and tells me she has kept everything I've made for her over the years - too many years than I care to remember!

So I made her this little gift set using the Friendship Jars Fall Fillers and the bookmark and bookplate dies. Something I really like about Papertrey is that many stamp sets co-ordinate with eachother and here I've used images from an old set, Autumn Tags, to continue the autumn theme on the set of bookplates I made to accompany the bookmark.

Sigh..... don't you just love that little acorn stamp - I almost bought the set just for that one tiny stamp. And as I've used a number of dies and paper punches here, I'm entering this set for the current A Passion for Papertrey challenge - Punch it. I can't believe it.... I'm almost a week and a half early!
