Friday Sketchers Challenge

-
The challenge on Friday Sketchers has been set by Heidi from Norway.
This is a large A4 card made for my sister to give to my hubby for his birthday
The A3 card was from the paper mill shop and I just folded to make the large card
The bike background paper came from Kanban and the red paper was in my stash.
The photo was taken of my hubby and me on the London and Brighton Old Bike Run this March
(I like this photo as you cannot see me in the sidecar!!)
The bike was made in 1913 and was my Grandad and my Dads and has now passed to us.
This was Steve first run on it and we made it to Brighton.
My sister brought the picture at the finish and
Steve knows nothing about it until this Thursday on his birthday lol.
Thanks for the Challenge

What a brilliant present and fantastic card Nicky! TOH will be thrilled. How fantastic to have something that you can enjoy passed down the family, quite a responsibility though to keep it in good order. Pity we couldn't see you!!

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...
