Today the only thing I did today was make a few bookmarks...
I actually made five but only four got in this picture.

#5 front
and I forgot to take a scan of the back!
I made these from scraps of paper and the sides of cracker boxes. Number five is a piece of scrapbooking paper that I embellished with pens and paint. It looks much better in real life and even has some sparkle.
It's been rainy and chilly today.
Not the kind of day that inspires me to do art.
I put a chicken in the crock pot and that will be dinner.
Not much happening!
I love your bookmarks, they are great, sent your 5x7 today
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Love the idea of the enhanced wrapping paper. You must have a paper cutter the edges are so straight!!

Yep, I have two paper cutters!
DeleteIt is a beautiful bookmarks!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLove your bookmarks, Janet! Great idea to use to recycle cracker boxes. :)
ReplyDeleteYou know I can't throw away anything that I can use for art!
DeleteGood idea and nice work. Love the dress one.
ReplyDeleteI thought you might like that one!
DeleteFantastic painted newspaper, it takes the media so well and has a lovely effect. xox
ReplyDeleteYes,I agree, Corrine...I like working with the painted newspaper.
Deletevery nice. i like them. i never think about saving the boxes for projects, great way to recycle.
ReplyDeleteI wish I didn't save so many!
DeleteNice bookmarks. I save way too many cracker boxes..cookie boxes, etc. Love that cardboard, I have a stack or two! The painted newspaper looks really great.
ReplyDeleteI think it's fun to mass produce bookmarks, tags, ATC's. I should do it more.
I have stacks of cardboard taken from boxes and such...I could make stuff for the next 50 years and probably not use it all!
Deletejanet thank you for your comment! that is a computer designed image - i can tell you more if you want!
ReplyDeleteLove your bookmarks Janet. Do you laminate them?
ReplyDeleteThese seem like a natural thing for you to create, knowing your love of books and reading.
Big hugs

So far I haven't laminated any of my bookmarks but I do have a laminating machine...just have to remember where I put it!
DeleteIf you are interested in a bookmark swap, I'm IN...these are so pretty!
