BACK TO SCHOOL

Hi all, it is almost 6:30 pm on Saturday evening and I have not gotten very much crafting done even though I have been sitting in my room for the last 2 hours. I almost finished a mini I have been working on. I picked up the photos for my cousins birthday mini. I printed and picked up the last of the photos for my daughters Las Vegas mini. (so far behind on that). I have several orders for note cards and I did cut the paper for those, but I have not gotten any further than that. Maybe a glass of wine and a good book would be a better idea right now. I just can't seem to get motivated. Oh well, I went through my cameras and came across several projects that I had not posted yet and a number of them were some book marks that I made a few months ago. I thought that since it is back to school time and school means books and lots of them. Everybody could use a couple of bookmarks. I love the corner bookmark. You can make 10 of them and they will all look different. Here is mine.

This was made totally from scraps and originally came from a My Minds Eye (Stella Rose pad). The owl stamp is from a $1 set that I bought in the Michaels $1 bin. I used a Spellbinders edge die and one of the Spellbinders label dies. the owl was colored with copics E30. E31. E33 and a little G21. I distressed it with some Tim Holtz faded jeans distress ink.

Well there is not really much else that I can say about this project. So I will be keeping this post short. There are a few challenges.
