Bookmark Swap

My friend Tracie, who I met through our PTI swaps, is having a bookmark swap. I love to read, though I don't have much time for it these days, so I joined in. This bookmark is 6 inches by 2 inches. I used several SU retired colors: Orchid Opulence, Green Galore, and Yo-Yo Yellow, plus Tempting Turquoise which is still current. I cut the flower out with the Cricut Lite Bloom cartridge. I printed "bloom" in LD Buttercream font on some GG and punched with the MS grass punch. Center of flower is cuttlebugged with Swiss Dots. Top of bookmark is punched with the old SU Deco corner punch and slit punch for the ribbon. I had so much fun making these; I hope Tracie will do it again sometime. Thanks for looking!

Cool bookmark! I love all of these colors together. And I'm like you, I love to read. But don't get as much time for "fun" reading as I'd like to.
