Back To School Card with Attached Bookmark!

OMG! I am in one heck of a mess! Scrapbooking supplies from one end of my basement to the other. I am waiting for new flooring to arrive and now I have decided the walls need painting, so yes that means more mess. LOL! But I did go down there last night and make a card for a few of my favorite challenges.
 
 The front of the card I designed using and this weeks Freebie from Bear Hugs Art and Scrap and my Cameo.
 For the card base I used a piece of card stock that measured 4.5 X 12 inches . I scored the card at 4.5 inches and then used a perforated score line at 9 inches. This way I was able to make a bookmark that could be torn off and used by my granddaughter who loves to read. I used both my Cricut and my Cameo for this card! ( I love the sound of both machine just humming away at the same time! )

For the bookmark I used Kate's ABC and Recess Cricut cartridge for the cuts.
I found the poem on the Internet and just smiled when I saw it and said this is just perfect for Jan!

I will be entering this card in the following challenges.

Cameo Creations- Back to School
Fantabulous Cricut Challenges- Back to School
Exporing Cricut- back to School using the following colours, red, green, black, purple, yellow, orange, blue and brown.

    Oh Jenny I know what you mean about your craftroom being in a mess. I have been painting, removing stuff and adding new storage for months and it is still not finished. Working around a mess has become the norm for me. lol

    Love your card too cute. The owl is adorable and love how you made it to become a bookmark, how creative.

    Would love to have you link up to our
    SVG Saturday Challenge.

    Awesome project. I totally related to your comment about the sound of both cutting machines going at once. I've had my Cricut Expression and Cricut Imagine going at the same time and it's kind of fun! Thanks for playing at BBTB2.

    Hi Jenny,
    Your comment on my blog was so funny, I had to come over and say-- the funniest part is that the video I made is only 2 minutes long and you had so many interruptions.
