Stamping up some bookmarks!

You guys may remember I went crazy making rubber stamps a while back. Actually, I'd love to make some more, and I have a huge supply of erasers, so...
My problem was, I couldn't think of what to USE them for. They don't really work well on ATC's. It just doesn't look right to try to incorporate them into a scene. So the thought came to me to use them on bookmarks.
Since I needed to make a bookmark or two for a swap partner I just decided to keep going and make a few more. I even made bookmarks out of a couple of "mistakes"! I bought a 12-pack of tiny ink pads in multiple colors which makes it a lot more fun. This stuff is sticky and full of color. I got some extra on my working surface a couple of times and ended up getting it where I didn't want it. Hence, the "mistakes" I mentioned.

 

 

 

Some of my stamps and the little ink pads I bought at Walmart.

This is the card for a swap partner. Below is the back side of it.

 

 Here are some of the others.

Side #1...

Flip side. The one on the right is also for my swap partner.

These are two sides of a tiny bookmark. I hate to throw out stamped images!

And these are the two sides of another one.

They all got laminated and tossed into my pile o' bookmarks! After saying that I can't figure out what to use them for (above) several ideas came to mind. Notecards, stationary, decorating envelopes, stamping on gift wrap. Yeah, I'll think of some things to do with them. :)

Oh man. My stomach's grumbling. Must be lunch time!

I'm not going to make any controversial statements here on the blog about the scary situation in our nation's schools, but I would like to say I need to follow through on praying for my local school. I've seen groups that walk around their schools and pray, and I've thought it was a great idea, but I didn't really follow through. This is something that requires spiritual warfare (in addition to trying to solve things in the natural) and prayer against forces of evil. I know we all agree on that point. I need to be sure I'm holding up my end of the responsibility by not getting lax on praying. My kids are grown, but I have LOTS of grandkids in school. Let's surround them with angelic protection!

Love you guys! Have a fantastic weekend! I see I have some new blog posts to read. Woo hoo!
Shalom to all!
