FRONT OF BOOKMARK

BACK OF BOOKMARK

As my twins headed to college (post 16) a lot of books were in their future so I made them book marks with a difference!
This is a full A6 tent fold card with a pocket on the back so they can add the page marker sticky notes, so they are nice and handy.

Of course I added a couple of inspiration journalling cards because I just can't help myself when using Graphic 45! lol

Inside is a magnet that holds the bookmark tight shut when on the page, see the pics below xxx

Here's what I used:
Style: Tent fold magnetic bookmark (with back pocket)
Image: Saturated Canary – Bookworm

Skin: TN3, FS9, 4, 2, CR3
Hair: OR2, 3, EB3, 7
Clothes: IG1, 2, 4, 6, 9, True Black
Others: TB1, 2, 3, CR2, 3, 4,
Plus orange and brown fine liners

Reading is SO important and I love how I've managed to instill in my children that the computer and e-stuff cannot replace the feeling of curling up and loosing yourself in a book, turning the 'physical' pages and that excitment of needing to know what happens next.

Don't forget to enter the challenge...

Happy hugs
