Bookmarks

Today we made bookmarks. Too bad a couple people were finished and had left by the time I remembered to break out the camera. At least I got a few good pictures...

Using Microsoft Word we used text boxes to draw large, bookmark-sized boxes. Then we inserted a picture. Some used Google images (images.google.com) to locate pictures, others scanned in their own.

We put wording on our bookmarks and changed the font to our liking. Lastly, we chose coordinating card stock to print the bookmark on.

In true Sharlotte fashion we couldn't stop there. We laminated the bookmarks then enhanced them with a rivet and colorful ribbon.

They all turned out GREAT!
