Meljen’s Designs–Bookmark Challenge

You know you've read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend. ~Paul Sweeney

It’s Thursday so it means it is time to show off the new Meljen’s Designs release on Whimsy Stamps and announce the new challenge – “Make a Bookmark.”

I love reading and am usually reading 2 or 3 books at any one time. I thought I would take this opportunity to replace the receipts and scraps of paper that I have been using as bookmarks with a “real” bookmark. (That was the plan anyhow. My DD has already “pretty pleased” it out of me.) I used the corner bookmark tutorial HERE on Splitcoast Stampers.

Here is a peak at all of the new images available at Whimsy Stamps today.

Sorry my post is short today. My daughter is on spring break. Although I worked most of the week, I took some vacation days today and Friday. Today I think we are going to visit our closest Ikea for some additional shelves and goodies for my new craft room. I know that probably isn’t exactly how she hoped to spend spring break but we will do something more fun (museum, American Girl store?) tomorrow.

Thank you for stopping by!

Supplies:

  • Stamps: Thumbellina by Meljen’s Designs on Whimsy Stamps
  • Inks: None
  • Papers & CS: Papertrey kraft cs, Neenah Solar Crest CS, misc. October Afternoon DP (used scraps), misc. pink CS (also scraps)
  • Tools: Scor-Buddy, Big Shot, Spellbinders Nestabilities, Martha Stewart edge punch, copic markers
  • Embellishments: Cotton Candy stickles

This is a really cute book mark...and I know what you mean by scraps of paper we all use.
I have made one but it is so big it will probably only be good for 'Gone with the wind' or 'War and Peace'...lol..
