Fun, fun, fun, different (and yet still easy!)
tags from book pages folded into quarters, then sewn (or not), painted a bit with spray oxides, gessoed, painted, and stencilled...final touch a stamp with a bit of thread bunched up beneath the stamp. Love, love, love them!

Cindy Burkhalter makes folding bookmarks that have lots of journaling space ... easy! Fold any piece of paper - book page, map, children's book page....into fourths.

The video's here.

Camelia Craft's Designs (she's such a riot with a British accent) makes a bookmark/journaling card with a vellum belly band. She uses Christmas paper to make it into a Christmas card! Love it. (Note: My vellum paper was really too dark, and the first one should have been a little thinner. Learning more and more with every creation...
