Monsters Ink **MFTeaser**

Happy Tuesday!! First of all - I have to say I am SO excited about the MFT Stamping Idol contest that started yesterday - I can't wait to see everyone's auditions - if you are interested in being the first MFT Stamping Idol and having loads of fun along the way - check out this thread. I have an MFTeaser of the new "Monsters Ink" set being released tomorrow (for a larger image - click on the picture) - I am in LOVE with this set!! Most of you know that I have 2 boys (ages 3 and 7) - so I grab up any sets that I can get my hands on to make projects for them and these little monsters are perfect!! My 2 just went nuts over these little guys - so I decided to use them to make some bookmarks for them. I am SO blessed to have 2 kids that enjoy reading - my 7 year old started reading chapter books last year and always has his nose in one (just like his momma when she was his age;) ) - but one thing we never have is bookmarks for him to mark his place - so I made some. I started by stamping and coloring all my images I wanted to use with Copics. I cut 2 1/2 in. by 6 in. cardstock bases for my bookmarks - then added interest with some funky angles on the ends and edge punches for decorative edges. All sentiments are from this set as well. I rummaged thru my Halloween paper stash for DP to use for these - what a fun way to use up some of that old Halloween paper and I have LOTS of it- LOL!! I finished up my bookmarks by added lots of fun ribbons to the ends. I kept layers and embellishments limited on my bookmarks as not to make them too bulky and cause the book you are using them in not to close, kwim? Thanks so much for stopping by - and don't forget...
