Feeling like the Tortoise...

and not the Hare this week! I've been suffering from headaches and burning eyes, so I've been a bit "out of it" all week.
So....my Challenge # 56 is posting a little late this morning. I was sorta feeling like the Tortoise all week, but hoping to be more like the Hare today. I have lots to do on my "to do list" today.

Our Challenge this week was to make a bookmark. I thought this was a super fun challenge and one that could be used for Teacher Appreciation week coming up next week, or as a small gift for your kiddos tackling those TAKS tests this week, etc, etc.

I made my bookmark 2 sided because I just couldn't decide on just one image...I loved them all! LOL


 I thought this was great for pages you want to read slowly, and others you can just speed through!
Bookmark Details: Digi images-Speedy Hare and Steady Tortoise-Whimsy Stamps Store, Patterned Paper: Cosmo Cricket, Clear Acetate Scalloped Circle: Used my Nestibilitie dies and scraps of Acetate from packaging. The smaller circle at the other end of the ribbon is a Washer from the hardware store that is covered with the same paper. Ribbon: WalMart, I also used those "Reinforcements" by Work Solutions (WalMart) to reinforce my punched hole on the bookmark.


Isn't this a super fun challenge?! I thought so! Please join us over at Meljen's Challenge Blog and play along!

I am also linking this project to a challenge going on over at Do It With Digis-I Can See Clearly Now, the challenge is to use a digital image and acetate.

Have a wonderful Thursday!

That is a fabulous idea for a bookmark. If you have ever seen my blog (Turtle In The Sand) you know I have to have that turtle. Unfortunately I am the tortoise and very very very seldom the Hare! Hope your headache gets better quick like the hare!
