{jane bosi} Happy Sunday, Sweet Friends!! I've finally taken the time to complete this long awaited project!! Many months ago, I purchased Bookmark Bits & Pieces and Bookmarks & More Dies so I could make bookmarks for my budding reader and his classmates!
I started by creating a box to house the 30 bookmarks. Using a 8 1/2" x 9 3/4" piece of card stock and some strategic scoring, it was a piece of cake! Score on the 8 1/2" side at 1 1/2", 3" and 6". Rotate and score at 2 1/4", 3 3/4" 6" and 7 1/2". You'll have to omit the corners and trim a few other panels, but once you get going, it will all make sense!
I decorated the bookmarks by water coloring images from Bookmark Bits & Pieces. I cannot decide which image I like the most! That little bookworm is awfully cute!
I also used Borders & Backgrounds, What's Up and Grunge Elements 2 to decorate the backgrounds. This was a great way to spend the afternoon! I sure hope they like them as much as I do!
TTFN, Jane
