Personalized Bookmarks

A fun and easy way to get your child excited about reading - Sue Martin

Personalized bookmarks can be just what a child needs to motivate them to keep reading. This makes an awesome class project, as 14 bookmarks can be printed on each sheet of paper. Add photos to the template and print on heavy weight paper. Take the sheet to Kinkos to have it laminated. Then cut apart the individual bookmarks.

I created the template in Power Point by making a 5.5x1.25 rectangle. I then filled the background with blue and red, with a diagonal blend. Next step was to add text and clipart, followed by a photo of each child. Print, laminate, and cut and voila - 14 cute bookmarks for the kids to enjoy.

If you're interested in using my templates, send me an email and I'll send them to you. For more creative printing ideas, check out my book on digita photography and creative printing, Digital Delights for Scrapbooking.
