For this week's ways-to-use-it challenge: books. My favorite books are murder mysteries and science fiction/fantasy. I figure that if you can't kill 'em off, then send 'em off to space. I couldn't come up with a pleasing image for that concept. So, I just went with the idea of reading in general. It's a teacher thing.
In support of reading, I created a bookmark card. The detachable bookmark tucks under the main panels. I showed both sides of the bookmark panels behind the card.
I used mft's current sketch for the layout, and because the sketch called for a tab, I'll submit it for snss's second December release challenge. Rude, is it? to mix stamp companies?

Not rude, it's whatever works BEST for your creativity, Brenda! This card doesn't surprise me since you are a teacher! Love the bookmarks to emphasize reading~

I love this card. Reading is soooo important. I read to my kids all the time and both read today! I preached to them to read to my grandchildren and I'm happy to say they all read and are all the more intelligent for that. Your card says it perfectly!

great job with the bookmarks and the encouragement to read. I love sci fi/fantasy also...Great supporting elements, especially the file folder and the bold READ.
