Welcome to this week's Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Style! We're getting ready for Father's Day...
you can find all of the "Masculine" category items available at
>HERE<.
Take a look at the simple brown paper gift bag that
I've put together for my Dad's Father's Day gift...
The tag has been specifically made to be used as a bookmark for my Father's Bible.
I began with Bo Bunny's "Timepiece" decorator papers. Our Daily Bread Design's "Dad" stamp set was used for the Bible verse sentiment, stamped with Versafine Black Onyx ink.
Spellbinder's Sprightly Sprockets dies layered beneath a Prima "Wood Clock," adds the extra special touch to my project.
My tag/bookmark is tied off with May Art's Half Inch Woven Burlap (Ivory) and brown Burlap String.
All supplies are from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.
As always, this is a Mystery Blog Candy hop (shown above), meaning the winner will be drawn from comments on one of today’s participating blogs, so leaving a comment on each blog will greatly increase your chances of winning, but only one comment per blog, please. The winner will be selected at 6 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, May 1st and will be posted on Sharon's blog on Wednesday or thereafter.

Oh Deb! He is going to LOVE it! That book mark is wonderful. The Verse is so perfect...as always. I love how you used the different clock "pieces." This is a keeper for sure. It'd be nice to include a nice message on the back of it.
