Today's Try a New Technique is bookmarks. I combined a bookmark with a gift tag for my dear friend Miriam, who is moving back to Wisconsin - she's almost 90!
Inside this brightly wrapped package are 2 wonderful mysteries she loaned me.
As for the bookmark- I added a stitched fabric square for some color, and stayed with fall shades. Used American Crafts ribbon, then punched a hole in the top to thread the green embroidery floss through to attach it to the teal package ribbon.
Happy Reading!

Great polka dot background! I like the stitched piece you added. It's so nice that you thoughtfully personalized your package tag with a bookmark tag! I'm certain you will miss your good friend Miriam! Good luck to her on her move.
