New Baby Card

-
Time is precious so I decided to combine some of the challenge
Hope this it ok?
Simon Says Challenge is Vintage with Flowers
I have never really done a vintage card so went with vintage colours
The flowers are all from my stash
Cute Card Thursday - Ribbon-Tastic
The ribbons I have used are from the Do-Crafts Goodie Bag
Sunshine
Secret Crafter - Stitching
I have used faux stitching on each piece of the card
drawn in using my Letraset Tria Pens
Came up with this wonderful sketch that I have followed
Dotties World - DeStress with some Distressing
Again like the vintage theme I do not normally do distressing
so did some (neat) tearing hope this counts
The image is Dottie & George from the Love & Marriage Collection
I am quite pleased with the outcome of this card
as its different to the normal baby cards I do
Thanks to all the challenge sites for the inspiration

No Cards But A Promarker Storage Project!

Sorry not a card but I have been working on this, hopefully some cards soon. Anyone who know me knows I am a very organised crafter My promarkers have been driving me mad as they were in a number of different containers and I never seem to pick up the right container, so I decided I needed to sort it This is a CD storage box from Tescos it comes with 100 sleeves to put CD in You can find it HERE  but there are many others out there Being sad I had some Pro markers in my handbag so was able to try them in the shop for size!

Promarker Storage Update

As some of you know I tend to be a little bit of an OCD crafter - I like everything to have a place and when I have finished using it that is where it goes. Now when I first started collecting Promarkers I used a travel CD case to transport them and it has worked really well you can see the original  HERE . I then also started to collect some flexi markers and the promarkers brought out some limited edition promarkers so I decided I needed them!        This meant my storage box was no longer large enough so I started to look at ways to improve it I brought a slightly larger box from E-Bay then set to improving the insides I realised if I made some boxes for the pens I could store more in a row, than using the CD sleeves. So using an A4 piece of paper I scored out a box with two dividers so the pens do not fall over (I did warn you I was OCD)  This is the A4 piece of card with the score lines dotted and the solid lines are...
