Here's a new idea I came up with, photo bookmarks. That's my husband, Jason who reluctantly posed for the picture. The conversation went something like this. Me, "Jason come over here, I need to take your picture". Jason, "What's this for anyways". Me, "Don't worry, it's just for the blog". Jason,"That's what I was afraid of". But there he is, in all his bookmark glory.This craft only takes about 10-15 minutes to make. It would look great to make the person climbing into the book as well. I would have taken a picture of this but I didn't want to push my luck. Directions below.
Supplies
medium weight card stock
clear contact paper or laminate paper
scissors
exacto knife
Take a picture of someone doing this pose. Print on medium weight card stock. Cut out the body. Laminate with contact paper or laminate paper. Cut out of laminate paper.
Should now look like this
With the exacto knife, cut where the yellow lines are.
Done!

thanks Alex
I think that's one of the best compliments a blogger can get
This is such a cool idea! You are such a crafty lady. And kudos to your DH for posing for the photo.
That is a great idea and very funny. It would make me chuckle every time I reached for the book.
I also wanted to thank you for turning me onto Daiso in Union City. I went over there on Thursday evening just as the storm was beginning. My daughter and I went crazy. She got origami paper and stationary. I got felt and fun goodies for the kitchen. Maybe we'll see you there one day. :)
thanks jennifer
isn't Daiso great!

Haha. Your husband is such a good sport!
