My Bookish Crafty Pics

As promised, I present my bookish crafty creations...

(created from the tutorial here: http://bessbag.blogspot.com/2010/05/tuesday-tutorial-bookish-fun.html)

For the 1st corner bookmark I created I had to stop & start the video quite a bit, but after that it started to get easier... I enjoyed making 'em so much, I created 4! I used scrapbooking paper, rhinestones, paper flowers, charms, & even a safety pin! These are so fun to make!

Here they are in action! Look closely at the orange & purple flower 1 - yep, if you're a super-cool guitar playing gal (not me - I'm just super-cool on my own =) & happened to have a guitar pick nearby) you can store a pick in your bookmark!

Here's my instant book! It really takes about an instant (or minute=) to create! I used heavy embossed scrapbooking paper. I do recommend using scissors to cut your book if your paper is very heavy, embossed, etc.

I created a beaded ribbon bookmark & then taped it to the inside (the inside folds where you make the cut). Simple simple!

I cut out some inspirational quotes & scriptures from a set I had + added some accent with glitter pens.

Using tulle & vellum, I created a lift-up flap for the "hiding place" scripture.

Here's what's under it!

These were such fun! I'll definitely make these again! Love 'em! Have you made any yet?
