Whimsy Stamps - Studious Mouse

My daughter is just like me in the way that she generally has several books that she is reading at the same time. Although she is still using the bookmark I made for her before, I thought I would make her another one so that she can stop using scraps of paper to save her spot.




I found a tutorial for a corner bookmark tutorial HERE and decided that I wanted to give it a try. I gave it to her yesterday and she really loved it. In fact, she asked if she could try to make one over the week end.


Don't forget that today is the big Release Party at Whimsy Stamps for the February new releases of rubber stamps and dies. Check out the details on the Whimsy Stamps blog to see how you could be the winner of one of the 6 prizes being given out during the hop.



Thank you for stopping by!

I love that image! Why is it that no matter how many bookmarks we have, we always end up using scraps of paper??? Never mind, your DD has a great excuse for joining Mom in her crafting :)
