Scrapbook Inspired

Although this post doesn’t have detailed instructions on making this bookmark, it’s an interesting discussion on how her scrapbooking inspired a couple of bookmarks for her kids. They’re a nice use of those leftover scraps, they’re simple enough, and they’re another great project for kids.

Recipe Bookmarks

Over at Scott’s Common Sense website, there’s a quick tip about using the recipes on the side of cake mixes as bookmarks. Just cut out the side panel with the recipe from the cardboard box and stick it in a cookbook. I think this method saves those recipes in a clever and useful way.
