Wedding Favor Bookmark
Did you ever need a quick thank you gift, but didn't want to spend a lot of money? Or maybe you just wanted to share a little something handmade with someone who did something nice for you? I made this pretty little bookmark using some of my scrap-booking scraps. It was quick, easy and I personalized it with a mirrored monogram I made with a re-usable glass etching stencil and the Armour Glass Etching Cream. Great idea for someone who loves books,? or for someone who uses cookbooks, or as a reward to a child for reading a book. Great? idea for stocking-stuffers too!
