The Adventures of Scrappysarah: Sparkler Squads Unite September 1st Blog Hop!

Hello everyone and welcome to another Sparklers Squads Unite blog hop! There are

two squads on the team, a blog squad and a YouTube squad. On

the first of every month we will join up for a fun and inspiring blog hop!

The prize every month for the hop is a $10 credit to the SMS shop.

Since there is a HUGE Labor Day hop on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th, you will only have

one day to leave your comments on all of the blogs for a chance to win.

And don't forget that Khristina is creating a free cut file for every hop!

You should have arrived here from Lisa's blog!

My project for this hop is a set of three fun and easy bookmarks! I made these for

my 8 year old daughter for her first day of school. Here they are:

I started with a couple of old 6x8 Becky Higgins page protectors. I cut them

down to 4x4 and filled each one with a bunch of sequin mixes from the SMS shop

and a few goodies from my stash.

The first one I made using a few acetate bits from the Amy Tangerine Better Together collection.

I added a bunch of the Hot Right Now Sequins and a couple of the mix tape

ephemera pieces and a couple of wood veneer asterisks.

I threw in some chunky iridescent glitter from my stash and sewed it shut using

my sewing machine, but you could also use your Fuse tool for this. I toped it off with some miscellaneous ribbon and a beautiful leather hassle from Dear Lizzy Happy Place.

I made the second one using a few pieces of acetate and ephemera from the Imaginisce Hello Summer. Then I added some of the Sunny Smiles Mix, a few wood veneer hearts,

and more of the iridescent chunky glitter and sewed it shut. I also finished it

with some ribbon and a hassle from Maggie Holmes Shine.
