Pinterest Inspired Bookmark & Blog Hop This Weekend

So everyone loves Pinterest.  What a great way to get the creative juices flowing...

I found this idea here.  I wanted to make sure I gave credit to the person where the idea sparked off of Pinterest.  Bookmarks made with elastic headbands?! Love the idea!

I have so many of these :)

(I have more but obviously you don't need to see my hair accessories collection lol)

Just wanted to share how I put it together.  I did use the dimensionals so it wouldn't look messy.

Another view...

  Decided to make two of them :)

For this month I picked 3 Cricut cartridges...

Plantin Schoolbook

French Manor

Rock Princess

My first project is a bag...

The bag is from Plantin Schoolbook and came from the Tall Ball feature on page 80.  It was cut at Fit To Page.

The circle is from Plantin Schoolbook and is <circle> on page 72.  It was cut at 4 1/2inches.

The oval shapes are from French Manor and came from Tag 1 using the shift on page 68.  One was cut at 4 1/4inches the other at 4inches.

The eiffel tower is from French Manor and is <EifflTwr> on page 68.  It was cut at 3 3/4inches.  The layer feature was also used to complete this cut.

My next project is really simple!  I was asked by a customer to make treat bags for her daughters birthday party who loves girly skulls.  She didn't want them fancy so I thought they came out pretty cute.

The bag is from Plantin Schoolbook and came from the Roly Poly feature on page 80.  It was cut at Fit To Page.

The girly skull is from Rock Princess on page 68.  <Skull1> was cut at 3 3/4inches.
