My son is just finishing up a 10 week reading program in French as a second language and he reached a level beyond the target for the program! We are so proud of him and I thought I’d make him a bookmark as a little gift. His birthday is this week too, he’s turning 7! I always give my boys a few special books as graduation gifts at the end of the school year, so I know he’ll be happy to have it.
This week at Crafty Creations Peggy has given us a themed OVER THE RAINBOW challenge inspired by the song from Wizard of Oz. Perfect! My son LOVES rainbows!
The image is COURAGEOUS CARL from our sponsor this week; Whimsy Stamps! I drew in the rainbow and clouds myself as I didn’t have one to use. The back is stamped with a “This book belongs to” sentiment from Unity and ” You amaze me” from Verve stamps.
Stop by Crafty Creations Challenges to see all the fabulous creations that the team worked on and join us in the challenge! It’s a FUN one!!
Thanks for stopping by!!

LOve the fact that you award your boys with books as a graduation gift as they complete each grade…what a great way to promote reading during the summer months…this from a former reading teacher. Adding the bookmark is an added plus that will help encourage reading. Thanks!

Hi Claire! I’ve used prismacolor pencils. they do give a sheen to the image, but I think the lighting of the pic accentuates it a lot more.
