INKspirations!

 Hi There!  I am finishing up the last of my Halloween themed cards to send off to Cards For Hospitalized Kids.  You can read more information about their wonderful organization here:  (LINK) I decided to make bookmark card that can be enjoyed after the season is over.   We use these corner bookmarks all the time, because they perfectly mark a corner for you.  For a great tutorial to make your own, you can watch Jennifer McGuire’s video here:  (VIDEO) I used the stamps from My Favorite Things - Spooktacular Friends.
