As I was reading a book the other day, I found an old piece of paper with a to-do list from 10 years ago inside. After contemplating the fact that I had obviously started reading this book before, I realised that I am in a terrible habit of using all kinds of to-do-lists, old envelopes, scrap pieces of paper and even photos as bookmarks!
Sure enough, as I looked through my bookshelf, I found more random pieces of paper throughout my books, not to mention the occasional dog-eared page… a great way to ruin all my nice books!
The craziest part was that I had just launched my Valentine’s Day Bookmark Pack, and it hadn’t even occurred to me that I could use those pretty new bookmarks instead of old scraps of paper… how silly!
So I immediately started coloring 4 out of the 12 bookmarks in my pack, and I loved them so much that I wanted to make those 4 available to you for free as well. You can still get the whole pack of 12 but this free sample page is a great opportunity if you’re not quite ready to get the set just yet.
I colored these with my new Copic Ciao Marker Set and added the white highlights using a White Uni-ball Signo Gel Pen. You can check out my tutorial on adding white highlights with a gel pen HERE.
I’d love to see how your bookmarks turn out, so grab the free printable bookmark template HERE and come and share your creations in our Facebook Group. Not a member yet? Come and join in today.
These bookmarks are also included in my huge Valentine’s Day Printable Activity Pack. The whole pack includes 12 bookmarks, 10 cards, 8 DIY gift bags, 8 gift tags, 4 coloring pages and a copy of Pattern Crazy: Hundreds of Hearts!

Thank you for your kind comment! Hello from Australia!
Valentine’s Day has always been a little hard for me but I’m trying, as I get older, to get more in the spirit. Thank you so for the free book marks.
I’m sorry to hear it’s hard Mary… I hope you can at least enjoy coloring!
