Crafty Bee a Bookmark

***** 2nd post for the day. Please scroll down. *****

It’s my first challenge as a design team member for Bee Crafty! I love Merrigan’s images and they are so much fun to play with and color!!!

When I first saw this image I new it had to made into a bookmark.

I chose to make a corner bookmark for a child. I’ll probably be giving to my great nephew who will be turning 5. My niece's children all love to read, as well as being read to.

I used the letters from the Bee Crafty Alphabet to spell out “read.” I strung some beads onto some ribbon and attached it to the corner. I used Prismacolors and OMS to color everything and the DP is from the DCWV Grade School stack.

Have you ever made a corner bookmark. They’re really quite easy and I make several blank ones at a time so that I can make one anytime. Now that I’ve gotten a Scor-Pal that will make it much easier!

If you would like to participate in the Bee Crafty Challenge, head over to the blog and check it out!

Blessings,

Christine

These bookmarks are such a neat design and really nicely decorated with the patters and images. A charming and practical project!
