Tiffany Doodles Challenge - TD06 "Anything but a Card"

For this challenge I made a bookmark using a roll of natural cork as the base.  It cuts really easily in my guillotine as it is very thin.  In fact I backed it with some kraft cardstock to ensure that it didn't tear when I was threading the ribbon through.

Supplies:  Tiffany Doodles Digi - Dahlia w/Oval, Cosmo Cricket pp and sentiment - 
Early Bird Range, Quickutz scalloped square dies, Big Shot, 
Machine stitching, Misc ribbon and adhesive.

Can you believe that this is Tiffany Doodles Challenge SIX??? Where did the time go?  This is a really fun challenge because I know at this time of the year we are all busy with treat boxes, holiday tags, wine bags/tags etc and looking for inventive ways to make our packages "pretty".   Check out the other amazing creations by the rest of the DT right here.

Tiffany is currently holiding a Design Team Call - if you are interested in creating with her wonderful digis - full details are here.
