Ageing!

This cards uses one of the wonderful Gus images from Bugaboo
He is coloured with my promarkers
I then cut him out and mounted him on an oval cut with my nestabiliites
I used my smallest circle nestabilities to cut the scollops
For a bit of texture I have used my sizzix embossing folder
The sentiment I got of a daily calender I brought for 50p from the works

This is for the following challenges


Thanks for looking

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...
