A Summer Bookmark

I Love Bingo!!!
Hubby thinks I should actually be about 65 years old....
But I Love Bingo!!!!

So when I saw the Bingo 2 Week challenge over at shoppingourstash I KNEW I was going to participate!
Of course I also love saturated canary's challenge, so for my first combo challenge, I did this little beauty



For SC the challenge this week is bookmark, 
it's perfect for that summer book I'll be picking up soon!

For the Bingo challenge I had to incorporate glitter, pearls, distressing, blue, and flower...
I love the glitter in her hair... feels like she got some sand stuck in her locks


I also got a chance to use my new denami stamps that you may remember I won in a blog hop last weekend.. That's the little butterfly, embossed and painted with pearl watercolors!
I also incorporated some of the twine I got in that same win from the twinery to the ribbon's at the top of the bookmark..

The pearls and flower I tied together in my handmade flower which is also blue


There is some distressing on the edges of the bookmark, and I also used ranger distress inks and a little punchinella on the side of the bookmark. 

I hope you love my summer bookmark!  
What is your favorite book??  How would you make a bookmark for it?

I'm a winner!

Yep!
That's right, I'm a winner!  
This past weekend I followed a blog hop (find it here)

I got to be inspired by all the wonderful blogs out there!
Tonight after a little bit of craft shopping I came home to watch a tutorial on how to use my new Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabbers....


I then remembered the blog hop I entered and figured I might as well check to see if I could possibly be the winner.... 

And there on the winners page was my face smiling back at me!!!  I couldn't believe it!!!  No seriously, I couldn't believe it!!!  I NEVER win anything!!!!

This is a preview of the prize pack... 




I feel like the luckiest girl on the planet!!  I was literally just planning a trip back to the bakery to get some more bakers twine....

Well and for the canolli too! 
Stay tuned for how I use this great prize!!!
