Hey Kaylee Journal

This month at   Mad for Markers are running an off the page challenge...so no cards and layouts here.  I must admit I freaked out a little by this challenge myself as I love making the odd card and don't stem away from it much at all.  

Well this week I covered my Journal I use to record my copic colours used of my favourite cards and I am quite pleased with the outcome.  I will now be covering all my journals and my DD has already put a request to make her one!

 

A little  close Up!

 One of it standing up and the mess on my desk...hehe

All those lovely copics used.

Over the Hill

I made this card for my old boss (probably lucky he isn't doing my performance reviews anymore). He is a few months younger than his wife and has told me he uses those three months between their birthday to pay out on her as much as possible about her being old. So in her defence I didn't make him a 'nice' birthday card this year but an 'Over the Hill' one!! hehe Happy 50th Birthday!!
