Good heavens, the weeks seem to fly by - time for another scout around the crafting desks of the world already! If you Don't know what it's all about, go over to Julia Dunnits blog and see for yourselves, and join in if you have a blog.
So what's on my desk, a rather natty box which is filling up quickly with my new flexmarkers, I am loving these pens, some of the colours are so subtle and muted, easy to blend...yes, I am a fan and of course they work with my beloved promarkers as well. I already have one of these boxes for my PM's, they are from Tesco, aluminium CD cases, perfect for the job
Here is my card for the Daring Cardmakers challenge this week, set by Kathy, who is absorbed with all things culinary at the moment as she is having a new one fitted, so her dare was kitchenalia. I used the From My Kitchen Cricut cartridge, and cut the toaster at 4". I used quite retro colours for this. Come to think of it, toasters are pretty retro in design anyway, the basic shape doesn't seem to have changed much since they were invented (I googled it). Sleek futuristic kettles, coffee machines that make a skinny latte mochiata while whistling the national anthem, knife blocks that look like a sheet of glass - but the dear old toaster stays stubbornly loyal to it's roots
The sentiment inspired the whole card, it's one from an ancient set by Stampin Up......
Don't forget, you still have until the 5th February to join in with my challenge, click the link at the top to take you there, and if you have a little time, pop and see the entries, there are a whole lot of gorgeous cards there to inspire you
See you tomorrow.....
Love how you store your markers.

I love flex markers too! Wish they would change all the pro markers into them
ReplyDeleteI love your card and what a perfect sentiment for it :) Great storage ideas for your pens too.

Your toaster is so cute and so is the sentiment. That's another cart that I've never gotten around to using. Shame on me. I'm excited to see what they have at the craft fair you're attending.
ReplyDeleteReally cute card Enfys, love the sentiment. Have fun shopping!
ReplyDeleteI resisted getting into pens/markers yet...but ooh, I love to see them! :) Your card is absolutely too cute!
ReplyDeleteYour pen storage is great, En and so organised!!
ReplyDeleteIt struck me the other day how colourful all the kitchen gadgets are now when I picked up a new Argos catalogue, makes you want to start all over again.
Have a great trip to Frankfurt.
Hugs Lisax
Squealing with delight, here. That card is awesome-the toaster is adorable!
ReplyDeleteGreat card and I love the way you store your promarkers.
ReplyDeleteMy newest toaster has something different on it: a space to store some small plastic tongs that came with it. I love that feature! But you are right that toasters haven't changed much over the years. Thanks for sharing your desk and your pen storage. I keep metal dies in a similar box.
ReplyDeleteI shall have to drop in to a good Tesco ... that box is perfect.
ReplyDeleteYour toaster card is brilliant ...inpired ...love it and the sentiment.
How do you actually attach those markers in the cd case/ I have a couple of those cases, but I cannot quite see how you have done it. Thank you for your visit today, and your encouraging comments. Have a good time at the trade fair. xx Maggie #90

Such a clever card and I like your storage solution. Amazingly organised.
ReplyDeleteDifferent type of pens collections are so great.I really enjoy this blog.I like this all different items.
ReplyDeleteHave a flippin' fantastic furtle in Frankfurt - hope it's a profitable trip. Like the thought of futuristic appliances - there was a speaking toaster on Red Dwarf, I seem to remember... :)
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ '45 xx
Looks like you’ve been busy with the old Flexmarkers Enyfs and I love your storage box.
ReplyDeleteI’m still struggling to find the right way to sore my ProMarkers. At the moment I have a wooden CD unit turned on its side (think I read somewhere they need to be stored flat) but every time I pull out the pens to use the rest fall out and go all over the place.
Loved you comment about all those lo rolls and extra fiber on my blog. Lol!
Happy Crafting!

Oh I love your storage, does the little dividers come with it Enfys? I am also becoming a fan of the spectrum noirs! Love your brill card.
ReplyDeleteOh En, where would we be without toast?! Thanks for joining in and sharing your lovely "Kitchenalia" card with The Daring Cardmakers this week
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog this week. You have a great collection of markers - I'm a little jealous. Cute card!
ReplyDeletegreat card, perfect sentiment, love it!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your marker storage solution. When it is closed do you stand it on it's long edge or leave it upright? I have stored all my markers upright, but read somewhere and seen a few people say they should be stored laying down so the ink doesn't pool at one end or the other, I've never had any problems but I have only bought cheap markers so far,until recently. I bought 5 copics and don't want to store them incorrectly, tooo much money for those suckers :)
Love , Love, Love the pen storage Enfys :-) trip to Tesco for me I think ! That card is so cute with the toaster , I've always fancied that cart . Safetrip Enfys xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm late getting around but just wanted to say that I love your blog and your storage solutions.
ReplyDeleteGreat pen storage! My daughter's PMs are getting out of hand now and that looks like the perfect solution. Thanks for sharing and for visiting me on woyww.
