OKAY...now, let's get hopping!

The Twinery's blog is the first stop along the hop, so you're at the right place!

I decided to 'think outside the box' with the PSA Essentials Original Peel & Stick ROCKET Set

 I created some fun bookmarks for Summer Reading! 

Take a peek...

To make the bookmark, I first created a simple Printable template - I created my bookmarks by printing them from my computer onto heavy white cardstock (download printable here), but you can create your bookmarks with stamps if you prefer. Once printed, I cut them to the proper size, rounded the edges and them used the PSA Stamper to stamp the airplane at the top of the bookmark.

I then glued a "loopy" strand of Caribbean twine to the bookmark from the airplane  and then created a matching twine tassel to finish the look! I used this tutorial to make the tassel. 

I think they are going to be great bookmarks for some young readers in my house this summer! 

I hope you enjoyed this first blog hop stop! 

Be sure to head over to PSA ESSENTIALS STAMP CAMP BLOG for the next stop along the blog hop!
