Day 161 - Yes. Hello. It's almost summer and I was thinking about what summer means today. It's a time for kicking back, relaxing and taking life in. It's a time to enjoy the sweet things in life like reading a great book. The idea of reading and summer has inspired today's project. I don't know how many of you still read books versus an e-reader but I love to crack open a good hard copy novel. There is just something about the feel of the pages and the smell of the ink. It screams summertime. What is the best accessory for a book? A bookmark. I have lots bookmarks. They have been collected throughout the years and bring back amazing memories of places been and joys shared. 

Today's project is to create a summer themed book mark for yourself and one for a friend. You can find a blank template here: Blank Bookmark Template. Once your summer design is complete just cut, fold and glue the two sides together. Maybe make a hole and add a piece of twine. Then tuck it into your summer reading and give the other to your friend. Summer wouldn't be complete without a good book, good bookmark and a good friend.

If you find yourself short on time, I have designed a few summer bookmarks for you. You can download the PDF file here: Summer Bookmark Free Printables: Designs 1-2 & 3-4. 

Well, I better get back to my reading list. Have fun creating a great summer bookmark design and see you tomorrow, hopefully at the beach!
