Heart Bookmark

The heart was designed by J.L. Vanderslice she wanted to design a basic motif that other people can expand on and this bookmark is the way I expanded on it. What a cute little bookmark to give to your sweetheart for Valentine's day! Thanks Jenn for allowing me to use the great heart motif for this bookmark! You did a great job with designing it!!!

Christmas Card Gift Tags
I am sure you have heard this one before. Use your old Christmas cards as gift tags this year. Just use cookie cutters to cut the front of the cards into fun shapes, punch a hole in the top, use colorful 1/8" wide ribbon for hanging and presto! A great gift tag! Better yet! Get your kids on the action of making these gift tags. You could make them while eating holiday sweets and drinking hot chocolate. What a fun time this would be!
