a mixed winter foliage with berries and pine cone spray

 my card is clean and simple  hopefully to show case the beautiful image

i love trying to let the image speak for it’s self and why not... when you get something so pretty
 i went for a varigated holly and ivy to compliment that splash of rich red berries

matted onto Gold Mirri and an embossed layer of Centura Snow white pearl card

with just a touch of diamond glaze on the berries
the colours i have used are

I’m over the Moon

I had a lovely surprise  this morning from

Crafters Companion

Pen Storage Stacking System

OK your thinking what is all the fuss about ???

trust me im thrilled to bits and utterly delighted at the end result

it’s going to cut my colouring time in half …. as you know i colour each and everyday with my Spectrum Noir Pens

but never had proper storage 

i like to have my pens all together when colouring i can't be doing with lots of little packages and i don’t have the room

so i  though i would share a before and after Pictures 

  Before

i call this the  Needs Must Nightmare lol…… 

had to pack the container to stop pens falling down

believe me when i say the colour you need always landed up flat on the bottom

and how many times have i had to go through them all just for 1 pen

i wonder how i managed to get so much colouring done to be honest with you

to say im jumping for joy is truly an understatement

im now in crafting heaven take a look….

After

What an improvement …

you can see they accommodate any brand of pens

i need a few more layers for my other pens but that will not be a problem knowing i can order more right here in UK..

they are very easy to assemble strong and don’t fall apart once put together

i assembled mine in my living room added my pens and carried them upstairs to my colouring area in my craft room

they never budged….. so if i fancy colouring in front of the TV i can  Fabulous ……

they hold 12 pens per section you decide how high or how long

if your stuck for pen storage and have limited craft space i would recommend taking a look at this system

Crafters Companion have ticked every box

they will be  launched Monday over on Create and Craft as a 4 day deal

Crafters Companion are doing some fabulous multi buy offers so i would say

why not Tune in ! and see for your self
