(click to make them bigger--much much bigger!)
Bookmarks are done! Yay! This was a great swap to sign up for and I'm so glad I did. From left to right: vintage/dog/music/polka dots, natural/fantasy, zombies and Jane Austen/romantic.
Zombies (again) and my Jane Austen bookmark. It's vintage pink paper with swirly flourishes and then was embossed (using the Cuttlebug) with more swirls. I wrote the quotation out and added some beads to the string (it's upholstery thread). The beads are a nice touch, I think.
The back of the Jane Austen bookmark has my first die-cut cutouts (paisley, naturally) in pink and purple. It's all so romantic and periodic! I'm not an Austen fan but I think the marker came out pretty swell. This one was heavily mod-podged before it was laminated. It looks a bit shiny, I suppose. I like it.
One of the group members likes "dogs, music, polka dots, vintage patterns and things that are funny." I couldn't think of anything funny to write (people's senses of humor are quite different) so I just drew a goofy looking dog. The vintage paper is paisley. Both sides of this marker are the same, more or less (I did freehand the dog). All the bookmarks are laminated with heatless laminate--though I should've just used clear contac-paper or shelf liner. Next time...
