Bookmarks made from old clothing tags.... Every once in a while I tear the 'price' tag off of something that I have purchased, and the tag is just such a good thick texture that I can't bring myself to throw it away. Tags were just piling up in my drawer of uselessness. I have finally found a purpose for them. My favorite images (from magazines, catalogs, scrapbook paper, etc.), some Mod Podge, Versamark, ultra thick embossing powder, a heat gun...........and voila. LOTS of ribbon makes perfect. I am excited about them, and tempted to go ETSY with them, but then I would be forced to start making art again and use my own images. I don't know if I am ready for that kind of emotional commitment just yet. :)

I like this idea...Never even thought of saving mine before but now you have showed me something that can look really pretty afterwards.
Holly, Now I know why Wendy wanted you to start your own blog. Very cute. I spy your ribbon on some cool looking holders in the background. What is that all about?
Good to see your still posting (ha ha) You know I love the bookmarks...and to echo kmr...what are you keeping your ribbon on?
I love those bookmarks!
Those are really cute! Great gifts for teachers too. :)
I LOVE your bookmarks and tags...those are ADORABLE!!! Oh, yea...a new very clever crafter in town...YIPPEE!!!
Are those fancied up paper towel holders you have your ribbon on??? Ut oh, an idea is swirling in my head!!!
I confess...I'm jealous you have that variety of ribbon in your house! The bookmarks are beautimous!
ooh, i do the same thing- keep tags. they are also good for making artist trading cards, gift cards, and greeting cards... scraps of paper are not junk, they can be such ART!!!
Holly... wow these look great!!! I love seeing all your ribbon in the background!!! So fun! If I new what versamark and those other things you mentioned even where maybe I'd attempt to make something like this :)
Really cool bookmarks! Love 'em!

Came over from your sis's site...now two wonderfully talented ladies to come visit. I love to do papercrafts/scrapbooking..so I adore your bookmarks. cherry
Cute bookmarks! And the fact that you used tags from your clothing...even better!
I love the bookmarks, but what I love even more is the idea of keeping your ribbon on the paper towel holders! They make such a visual statement like that, I love it!
