Dotties World Challenge Pastels & Brights
&
Cards for Men - Paper Piecing
The challenge on Dotties World set by Adele is Brights or Pastels
So I have used Mickey and coloured him with my Tria Markers
I have done one card with brights and the other pastel
I am quite amazed at how different it makes the same card look
I have paper pieced the images and mounted them on silicon glue for depth
Some of the papers have come from my new papermania pad
'Its a Man World'
The rest is all bits from my stash

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!

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...
