Brilliant Bookmarks

I loved this challenge! Thank you so much for your support and thank you everyone who swapped with me. I made lots of extra ones and managed to exchange with everyone who asked!
All the bookmarks were lovely... and hopefully will prove useful as well.
I thought this idea from Sue was very original - she used an old radio valve for the dangly bit!!

Rosie's colourscheme attracted my eye straightaway - and the way she attached the ribbon.
(Thats Rosie at alteredartandstuff...not our Rosie!)

Finally, a new friend, Lynn at http://hercreativespirit.blogspot.com/ - I love the shape, plus the richness and detail she has achieved in this bookmark. Check out her blog; there's a lovely wooden heart which would have been great for Rosie's 'blanks' challenge.

Great work everyone! Remember to come back tomorrow for a new challenge.

Hugs

Linda

Bookmarks

Something nice and gentle for you this week....... I challenge you to make a bookmark.

I have made a few which are up for swapping if you want to visit my blog and send me an email or leave a comment there. You could use a quote for inspiration; I have put some at the end of this post plus there are loads here http://www.richmond.k12.va.us/readamillion/readingquotes.htm and http://www.quotegarden.com/books.html

Or you might want to try an idea from Sarah Whitmire's Soul Journalling prompts to scan or photocopy some of your own work then cut it up and re-arrange it, as I did here......

Don't forget to visit my blog if you want to do a swap!

I must say that I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go to the library and read a book.

Outside a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside a dog, it's too dark to read.
