Cassie<\/a> bookmarks were inspired by her love of reading mysteries and historical fiction. She used Tim Holtz Distress Inks <\/a>for her backgrounds and then used stamps from Tim Holtz Observations<\/a>,  Evolution <\/a>and Inquisitive<\/a>. She added words from a Tim Holtz Chit Chat Stickers Book<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrea<\/a> made a bookmark using Gina K Designs’ Beautiful Bookmarks die set<\/a>. She added a “Me Time” ticket (which seemed like an appropriate reading manta) from American Crafts’ Whatevs Journal Ephemera Pack<\/a>. She cut out the word “READ” using AALL & Create’s Letter Soup dies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Anna-Karin<\/a> was inspired by books and made an art journal page in her Stamperia Create Happiness Mixed Media 4×8.5 Journal.<\/a> The stack of books was stamped with Tim Holtz Stamper’s Anonymous Schoolhouse Blueprint stamp set<\/a>. The labels and most of the sentiments come from Simon Says Stamp Mixed Labels.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barbara<\/a> was inspired by the coming spring to create her bookmarks. She used Tim Holtz Floral Trims Stamps with Simon Says Stamp Dies Bundle<\/a> coloring the flowers with Ranger Distress Ink Pad<\/a>. In the background she used the Stampers Anonymous Sparkle Fade stencil in the mini version (mini set 62<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kath<\/a> was inspired by her love of books and enjoys relaxing with a good historical novel, a murder mystery and a nice cup of tea.

Macarena<\/a> made a set of bookmarks with lots of stamping using Tim Holtz Field Notes<\/a>, Specimen<\/a> and Abstract Florals <\/a>stamps sets. She rounded the corners with We R Makers Cropadile Corner Chomper Radius<\/a> and used We R Makers Crop-A-Dile Eyelet and Snap Punch<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maura<\/a> loves to read and made a fun bookmark using Lavinia Stamps Gus<\/a>, Simon Says Stamp’s Game Tile Letters<\/a>, Simon’s Square Dance Stencil<\/a>, and Daniel Smith Watercolors like Quinacridone Pink<\/a> and Hansa Yellow Light<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a bookmark using Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps ECLECTIC ADVERTS<\/a> on the background, then colored it with Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi 48 COLOR Se<\/a>t and added sentiments with Tim Holtz idea-ology SMALL TALK Stickers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
