READ

I confess...i read...i read......i read almost anything....fiction, non-fiction, drama, romance, thrillers, detective stories...i read. I am on the fence about an e-reader because I love going to the library, hunting the shelves for a good read. lately, I don't get past the first shelves...14 Day only releases and LARGE PRINT volumes are right as you walk into my library. there is always a book or two or three that catches my eye and since I only have fourteen days, I limit myself to three at the most. I must tell you that the latest one.."Somewhere Inside" by Lisa and Laura Ling about Laura's capture by the North Koreans was a 'can't put it down READ'!

I used the library due date card for a bookmark. When I saw Casual Fridays and WMSC challenges this morning...they screamed, "Make yourself a bookmark!"
Casual Fridays- clean and simple wanted a color block theme and
WMSC-using WMS stamps wanted to celebrate their one year by using a sketch from the last fifty-two.

AND I wanted a bookmark-------

 I stamped the yellow plaid with a tea cup and punched a few circles and glued  to make a button and attached the button to the oval with the ribbon.

I used WMS challenge 29 for my inspiration.

 The large oval is attached only by the ribbon at the top and the teapot is attached with only the two brads to the tag base.

 Thanks for coming by!

PS. Just found  The Kraft Journal is looking for summer themed projects for Make It Monday!!! Nothing says summer to me like reading and going to the library. So, will add this bookmark to the Summer Challenge.
Mimi's summer camp has weekly trips to the library for books and crafts for my grand daughter, Megan.
