My children grew up watching Sesame Street. I can still see my daughter dancing to the opening tune with utter delightful childlike abandonment. As an adult watching this children's program I got the greatest kick out of the sense of humour i.e. puns that, of course, the children didn't 'get'. Why are you laughing mommy?
I loved all the characters, but my favourite ones just happened to be Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog So, I used my punches and made some book marks - one with Miss Piggy and one with Kermit, using the colors Pretty in Pink, and Garden Green.
I actually got the idea from Pinterest, but I couldn't track down the original author, so if you see your work on my blog please let me know and I will give you credit.
I wasn't sure if I got the characters looking like who they were supposed to be, so I held them up to my son so see if he could identify they, and he got the right answer immediately.
Papers: Crumb Cake, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White, Marina Mist, Basic Black, Real Red
Punches: Scallop circle, 1 3/8" circle, 3/4" circle, 1" circle, Two step own punch, Word Window punch
Accessories: A string of pearls, bookmark (non SU)
Kermit the Frog:
Papers: Garden Green, Real Red, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White
Inks: Always Artichoke
Punches: Ornament Punch, Pennant Punch, 3é4`circle punch
Accessories: Book mark (non SU)
These characters were fun to make and I`m not sure how realistic I made them (Kermit looks a bit drunk), but like I said - I had fun. Let me know what you think.

Terrific bookmarks, these look great!
Thanks for playing along with us at The Friday Mashup!
If they passed the son-test, the must be okay! I recently made sour cream packet carrots. When my 2-year-old granddaughter wanted Gramma's carrots, I knew I had done well. LOL! I love your Miss Piggy and Kermit! Thanks for sharing!
OMG these totally ROCK!! I love how you used the scallop for Miss Piggy's hair.. so cute! What a great idea to make bookmarks for a child.. Thanks for joining us at the Friday Mashup this week, Wocka Wock!!
totally adorable. These are so cute. You have a great imagination to have used all of these punches to make these.
Thanks for you wonderful comments Kim. Kids love to read so a book mark featuring those delightful Sesame characters seemed appropriate.
Thanks Kasey - in Oz. I appreciate your comment.
Lisa, bookmarks seemed like a good idea for kids. Thanks for your comment.
I was amazed my son, who is now an adult, could still identify his childhood favourites, but he identified them without hesitation.
Oh Holly your enthusiastic remarks brought a smile to my face. Thanks so much.
Thanks Jane. I have been accused of having an overactive imagination, but I love to work with punches.
Love your bookmarks. I think they are instantly recognisable and so fun. x
So glad the characters were instantly recognizable, As you they had to pass the 'son' test before I put the picture on my blog. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Very cute bookmarks! I love that you went outside the box and managed to MAKE some Muppets! Thanks for joining us at The Friday Mashup this week!
Thank you Rita for your kind comments.
