Sadie, Sarah and Heidi, ya'll have been on the ball! Great bookmarks, ladies! :smile:

Here is my entry. I have not done a collage in awhile and was happy to make one on this bookmark tag.

Got a funny & spooky story to share about my (finished) bookmark.

I was having all kinds of ideas about what I might do for this & not happy 'cause the stuff I wanted to use was nowhere to be found in my stashes. Then I decided to check what I had in the piles on my work table. Lo & behold, I found goodies that were 'well-buried' treasures. Nothing spooky there, but after doing much of the work, I knew I wanted to add a 'postage' type stamp, so I went into my envelopes of rubber & pulled the first one I found. It had never been used & (here's the spooky) it's 'postmark' was perfect for the piece!

Looking forward to sharing it with y'all.

Sadie & Stampwilly - you both made fabulous collage bookmarks.  I have such a hard time doing collages.  But after seeing your pieces, I may have to give it another go.

Daniel - Don't just hate it when your stuff hides from you.  You know you have it but you just can't find it.  So frustrating.  Glad you found what you were looking for and for finding the perfect postage stamp.

Wow! Y'all have been on the ball!!! I just peeked at everyone's entries so far and they're all wonderful!!

Sarah, love the squirrel one for your mom. I have a lot of acorn stamps too. And a lot of other fall themed stamps :o
And it's fine to add ribbon to the top too!

Heidi, I love how you combined it with your challenge. It worked out great O0.

Sadie and April, I love the collage stamping you both did! I was hoping someone would do that for this challenge O0. I get a little intimidate by collage stamping but think I might try it again!

Daniel, looking forward to seeing yours! Glad you unearthed some of your stash!

I'm off to leave some praise  :smitten:.

I would think this would be a cinch for the king of masking. 

I had the same thought! 

Can't wait to see what the "king" has done!

Love everyone's entries so far.  I'm going to try and work on this today.

LeighAnn, if you haven't already watched the video for the masterboard, I think that addresses some of the things about collage too.  There is also on of the crafting videos from Australia that does a show on stamping patterned paper, if I remember the name of the series I might be able to find it.

I had fun with this one! Used some so far for me unused stamps and my new distress inks. Spritzed it with shimmer mist but it's hard to tell how sparkly it is in my photo.

I used one of my Lighten Up backgrounds on watercolor paper to create a one layer bookmark.  I was inspired by the collage style bookmarks that have been linked to this challenge.

I knew I could never hand cut tag corners and have them turn out even, so I trimmed my background to a wide tag shape and inserted the top end only under a Spellbinder's octagon die.

Thanks for the challenge LeighAnn!  I had fun using lots of stamps and inks to create this Halloween bookmark.

This challenge was lots of fun-thanks LeighAnn!

Do know the abbreviation for this challenge in the title of this thread is not correct.

Here is my bookmark in the gallery and here is my other bookmark.

Thanks for looking...Jan

I made a bookmark out of my master board:  bright bookmark

I have not made a bookmark, but it does feel similar to making a tag.  I usually just grab a magazine insert or paper that's laying around to keep a spot in a cooking magazine or cook book….now I have a pretty book mark for such thing!!

Thank you LeighAnn for hosting this challenge!  I have fun!

I figured I should share the "fixed" bookmark.
