My Promarker Storage System

Hi everyone
I saw this idea of storing promarkers on Letrasets website and blog hopping and liked the way it looked so this is what I did and I thought I would share it with you.

I bought a Aluminium DJ's 300 CD storage case and
 distressed the outside with Alcohol inks, as you can see its pink and purple and blue in a mottled effect.



Inside I have used the CD sleeves to hold the Promarkers in, you can get 7 in each sleeve and have the complete set of Promarkers (148) and the Spring and Summer Limited Editions and the first four sets of Flexi Markers and  four fine line markers and also some fine tips for the Promarkers which are hidden by the spare sleeves to keep the rows neat and tidy.

Here is a closer look inside all the complete Promarker set has its own name and number code on the ends for easy reference this I got directly from Letraset, I find it so much more easy to find an use my pens, and I hope it inspires others too

Many thanks for looking

This is how it looks now completed

all 148 promarkers
24 limited seasons
6 florescent markers
24 fleximarkers
4 fine line pens
2 white pens
6 promarker fine nib adopter's

Bronwyn's Cards

This is my first card on Mums blog:

I cut a die from her big shot & got some scrapy paper for my background.

I punched two leafs & stuck them on.

I used my peeloffs to write a message on my card.

The stamp I used was a lotv stamp

coloured with promarkers.

This stamp I used was a penny black stamp.

I also used some scrapy paper from my craft boxes.

I put a happy birthday peeloff on the die I found.

I got four of the same stamp images, coloured them in with my promarkers & had an idea of decopageing them.

thank you for taking your time to look at my cards

Hugs Bronwyn XX
