Haven't made a book mark since I did play school, years and years ago, when my girls were little. I've used Dustin Pike's Freebie images coloured with ProMarkers and then (dramatic pause!!) everything seemed to go wrong! I wanted to cut a line around the head, just enough so it could clip over the book page, and not slip out. Tip, always use a sharp craft knife! or all you'll do is tear your paper/card. Once finished I covered them in Sticky Backed plastic, (re-cut through the plastic on the one that I cut) which wrinkled on some of them, this stops the bit you've cut out from tearing off. Anyway, I ended sending just three off, (The ones on your right) for the swap over on CardMaking and Paper Craft forum, run by MotherDuck. Click the link to see Dorothy's and Caro's lovely book marks!

Here's the one where I cut under the snakes chin. The idea is, he's supposed to be peeping out and at the same time, this stops the bookmark falling out of the book, but as you can see, my craft knife just torn the plastic /paper and card, so I left the others as they were. (There's another piece of 160gsm paper on the back so you can't see the cut) They really didn't need the plastic backing, seeing I wasn't going
to cut round their heads, but I put it on anyway...and it wrinkled!
I suppose they didn't turn out that bad.. but I won't be giving up my day job!
Now..... Who can guess, what's the book I've used in the picture??
