Frogs Read Too!

 

Hey everyone! Instead of usual card or occasional layout, I decided to make a bookmark. My little cousin, Bree, loves to read, so this bookmark is for her. I think I may make another one for my boss because her son loves it when she reads books to him.

I inked the edges of the frog with Martha Stewart Wasabi Pigment ink.

The paper that I used for the bookmark come from DCWV’s Playtime Stack. I LOOOOVE this stack. I tend to gravitate towards Kraft before anything else. I know everyone has a process for when they create and for the most part, I go through my cardstock to pick what I think will be a great base for my project. It doesn’t always work, but for a project like this it did.

The body of my little frog here is from another DCWV stack. I picked up the Grade School Mat Stack at work a while ago. I thought for the occasional school project that it could come in handy.

Lastly, I decided to stamp, “You’re the Best,” because I think kids need encouragement. And,I think reading is super important . On a side note, I totally screwed up on the stamp.

Here are the details:

• Bookmark: Plantin Schoolbook, 3.25” x 6.25” (Gypsy sizing)
• Frog: Create a Critter, 2.75” x 2.84” (Gypsy sizing)
• Base: Hobby Lobby Brown

Thanks for coming by. I hope everyone has an amazing week and a super blessed day!
