Grungy Monday #12

Although I'm working on several other projects right now I'm still working on getting all my bookmarks finished for the cruise in September.  You know me busy little bee.  I am a great multi-tasker.  For this set I'm using the Grungy Monday challenge #12.  It was on Tim's 2008 April technique you can find out how you can do it HERE. I really like how they turned out.  It can totally change the appearance of a paper that you may not care for or may be to "wild" for the project you are working on.  I chose papers from Tim's line that didn't exactly "go" with what I was working with to challenge myself.  I love the effect.

To answer some of your questions I have gotten about the bookmarks... I created the base out of white medium weight chipboard.  They measure 2.25" X 6".  I covered one side with vintage dictionary paper using Ranger Glue N' Seal in matte finish.  I then punched the hole in the top of each.  Now I am ready to create each one in it's own style.  I am making 5 at a time, using the same technique for those 5.  I have 20 done...100 to go!

 Do you get the little joke on this first bookmark?

SKELETON on one side + KEY on the other side = SKELETON KEY he he he

 Try stamping your solid prints cockeyed so you don't have to worry about them looking so rigid and uniform
