Teacher Gifts




I found a link to a bookmark template and had to give it a try.  I like these because they cover the corner of the page and seem like they would be harder to lose one's spot with (I am always pulling my bookmarks out accidentally).

The template was only an outline with fold guides, meant to be used on traditional paper.  Because it was a bookmark, and the creator of the template warned about using too many embellishments on them (they do have to go INSIDE a book!), I turned it into a Photoshop template and have been cranking out the bookmarks since then.  The blue and brown one is for me, and the peach one is for my daughter's teacher.  I have made a third with more masculine elements for the teacher's husband who also helps out in the classroom.  Between the bookmarks, the hybrid can from my last post, and the Barnes & Noble gift card, we are set for teacher gifts!  (And I've had fun in the process!)
