Bookmarks for grandkids...















Making bookmarks for the grand-kids ..  here I am using images from a collection called "Library Bundle" by Melonheadz.  The girl & boy bookmarks & the stack of books are in this collection, the library card is from Stamp Camp.

Made it a simple but sturdy project - cuz I know they won't survive long!  Colored with Copics, cut out and mounted on heavy card stock.  The scalloped mat for the books is a punch.

















This card should be eligible for the following

May you color with abandon, create wildly and always make what amuses you!

  3. Ginny, I love the bookmarks! I have been trying to decide what to make as end of the year projects for my grandson's class; I think you have inspired me. The kids have a summer reading requirement, so this will perfect! Your bookmarks are beautifully colored and very "festive". Thanks for playing with us at 613 Avenue Create.
