Unity- Friends with Flair

 It is Friday and I made this ribbon bookmark with Unity's Ippity Books a Flutter stamp for Friends With Flair.  When I saw this cute stamp set (2) I knew I had to have it.  We love to read in my house.

 I saw this clever idea out in the blog-o-sphere (not sure where) of making these ribbon bookmarks with elastic hairbands.  I had trouble getting my ribbon to stick to itself, but after several types of adhesives it is sticking.  (I tried sticky strip to find all end let go, tried glossy accents to find it went through all layers and then tried glue dots and everything has stayed for over a week, sliding it on and off books).
 I will still be looking for an alternative adhesive, so if you have any suggestions I would love to hear them.

I used Spellbinders to cut the pieces.  I used two pieces of black so that I could attach them with a brad in the middle of the hair band and then cover over the brad with the image panel. I folded over the ribbon and glued under for a clean edge.  I used a gem on each end for some bling (and to cover where the glossy accents bled through the ribbon :)).  I also added some clear Stickles to the butterfly for some more sparkle.  Below you can see the book open with the ribbon marking your page.

Here is the ribbon off the book.  It is very cute and clever way to mark your page.  Thanks for stopping by and please let me know what you think.  I am sorry the photos did not turn out better, but I hope you get the idea.  Happy Mother's Day to all you moms, I hope you have a wonderful day!
