I left these until the last minute (of course) as I am entering them in the Mad for Markers Monthly Challenge - Anything But a Card challenge and it finishes tomorrow! My two lovelies have been after me to make them a bookmark each ever since I made these for my niece and nephew. So I basically killed two birds with one stone and entered the challenge and made my kids happy!
Please note that since taking the photographs I have removed the ribbons and buttons and laminated the bookmarks. Then I reattached the ribbons and buttons. Now they will last even longer and I won't have to fix them when 'bits' fall off! Clever huh!

Hi Lisa,
Thanks so much for your comments. I much prefer red rubber stamps over anything but love digital stamps for their convenience. You buy them online and in most cases they can be downloaded instantly! Instant gratification! Hmmm...tips... try not to start colouring immediately (I try to wait at least 10 minutes)as the ink may run with your copics. I have a Canon MP550 and have not had any major ink run problems. The beauty of digital stamps is you can enlarge them to any size you like. For example, I needed them to be really big for the door hangers I made (click on the link in labels section. Mostly I just copy and paste them into a word document and print. Hope this helps!
Thanks for visiting! Susan xxox
