My project was for my daughter's 10th birthday which was yesterday! She is an AVID reader and can NEVER find a bookmark. You should see some of the stuff she winds up using to mark her place... candy wrappers, paperclips, twist-ties, etc. LOL So I decided to make her some bookmarks and find a good place for her to keep them. I bought a slider pencil case from the $1 section in Michaels - I planned to decorated it but ran out of time, at least it's her favorite color. :)
I used paint chips for the actual bookmark - my kids love them and always have to get a few everytime we go to Home Depot. They are so colorful and easy to use! The bugs are from Create a Critter, Car Decals, and Everyday Paper Dolls. I also used a variety of sentiments from Scrappy Moms Stamps. Note: I wound up using embossing powder for the stamps on the actual paint chips as my ink kept smearing.
I hope you enjoyed my little project, your next stop on the hop its the WONDERFUL Bonnie at Pink BonBons.
