Half a Century

-


This card uses a digi image for Mo's Digital Pencil
She is coloured using my promarkers
The card base and letters I designed and cut using my MTC software and Ecraft
The colours of the paper do not really show up but they are green polka dots
I used faux stitching around the letter and the border of the image
The sentiment I saw on a card on Dotty Jo's blog - Just A Dotty Pudding 
and thought it was perfect for my friends half a century birthday
Thanks Jo for the inspiration 


Today would also have been my Dad's 70th Birthday
So in his memory my mum, sisters, daughter and me
 went down to Dunge where he worked and released a balloon
and had some Wholenut Chocolate as that is what we brought him every year
Still miss him even after nearly 6 years but know he with us in many ways
Happy Birthday Dad

This card is for the following challenges:

Mo's Digital Pencil - Clean and Simple
Cute Card Thursday - Blues and Greens
I love Promarkers - Hats

Thanks for looking

Hi Nicky, Great card and love the fifty design on the top.
Glad you had a nice time remembering your Dad and I am sure he was looking down on you all.....maybe he was having a grumble though as he saw you all eating his favourite chocolate....lol
Sorry I have been missing so long, but thankfully things are easier now.
Thanks for joining us at Mo's too. xxxx

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! Each sleeve holds seven promakers and each section comfortable hold 10 sleeves or eleven with a little bit of a squeeze As I said I like things very organised or as my DH says OCD! I used some adhesive labels in my Craft Robo and cut out the little circles this way they were still attached to the backing sheet I could colour them and then peel them off with my poky tool and stick to the ends of the pens I also have put a coloured circle on the bar of ...

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...
