i had fun getting inky again since i discovered the creative expressions sponges, reviewed here; now if only the distress ink pads were more useable for people with disabilities.
i used a paper smooches bookmark die, a retired flourishes stamp set and three different stencils and distress inks to create these. my daughter has a lot of textbooks so i keep her well supplied with bookmarks; she likes these as they attach better and stay put because they are longer.
i’m playing along with these challenges:

Very pretty bookmarks and a wonderful sentiment! Practical and inspirational! :)
Super nice ! Great idea ! Love the tone on tone look. One person makes all the difference. . . . : )
Love these and your inky blending Linda! The sentiment is just perfect. Yes, the distress inks aren’t always easy to open are they for us who have hand mobility issues. Hugs, Brenda
