This is my second post for today! Please scroll down to check out my post featuring some new goodies from Uniko Studio :)
Hey!
Yay! It's release day over at The Craft's Meow! Time to feast your eyes on the full sets available from now!
For today's project I wanted to play with a couple of sets and picked 'Retro Foundations' and 'For My Dad'.
This is no ordinary card. It contains a removable bookmark!
FYI: There's a good dollop of Glossy Accent goodness on those glasses - shame my pic doesn't pick that up!
The bookmark was stamped by masking the glasses and top book to create a tall stack of books - perfect for any bookworm methinks!
I cut up some freebie magnets to create a magnetic 'clasp' so that bookmark will keep your place safe even if the book should fall open.
And here's what the bookmark looks like in action...
...yes, I'm a grammar geek! :)
That's it from me! I hope you enjoy the blog hop and enjoy the new release of goodies from TCM! Remember: if you spend over $50 at the TCM Store, then you'll receive the awesome stamp set, 'Typically Teen' absolutely free! Now that's a price you can't argue with! :)
Right then, it's time to hop along now. Next up is the fabulous Ivana Camdzic!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Catch ya later!
