I {HEART} Bookmarks

Hi all!

I wanted to share a bookmark I made today.

We have a monthly challenge over at the Scrapbooking with M.E. Boutique's Members group on FB. This month's challenge is Hearts. Your creation must be heart shaped.

I decided to try my hand at a corner bookmark.

 I cut my heart base. Then, I layered on 1" circle punched from scrap paper.

 I then sprayed the entire thing with shimmer Mr. Huey's added some red and white....let dry

 Then drew some faux stitches around each circle and added.....

a button with a metal embellishment in the middle.

I had fun making this....I love the layered circle look!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today :)

Until next time...

Blessings...

Polka Dot Owl

Hiya!

I was cleaning up the pictures on my computer and come across this one. I have searched my blog and can't find where I shared this with you. So, well it has to be done right?! :)

 I made this bookmark a few months ago for sweet Ms. Jeanette. We are in a FB group together and our first challenge was to create a bookmark for one of our "sisters". I know that Jeanette loves patterned paper and that she likes owls. So, I think I personalized this for her pretty well. :)

I added some pearl tipped straight pins behind the image. I cut all the circles with my Spellbinder dies. I added a little sparkle to the image with stickles.

The ribbon is from Bo Bunny. I have a HUGE roll of this polka dot ribbon and have had it for a long time. It finds it's way into quite a few of my projects. I love brown and I love polka dots!

Here's the bookmark "serving it's purpose". I really like how it turned out.

Thanks for visiting today.

Until next time...

LABOR DAY CRAFTING!!!

HAPPY LABOR DAY EVERYONE!

Yeah, even though it's Labor Day and we're not to "labor" today, I've already fixed brunch, washed dishes, cleaned the kitchen, read three storybooks and calmed histerical tears b/c my daughter's 102 Dalmations Movie ended (I started it again needless to say! ). Oh well, the day in the life of a mommy.
I did get a chance to finish up some bookmarks yesterday after church. These are for a swap I'm in on SCS. We had to make scripture bookmarks.

I used chocolate chip cardstock, Sweet Always paper & Pumpkin pie cardstock. I used a stamp from Verve for the scripture. Be sure and check out their mojo mondays blog for some great sketches. I have the link in my sidebar. I used a stamp from the SU! set Circle Circus for the 2 circle accents (I used chocolate chip and pumpkin pie inks on white cardstock). Then for the "tassel" I used brown grosgrain ribbon that I cut at an angle on each end then folded and stapled onto the top of the bookmark. Remember if you use staples on a bookmark to cover them with scotch tape on the back so the bookmark doesn't scratch your book pages.

Thanks for looking and happy crafting....and reading!

Until next time...

Blessings...
