Monogrammed Birthday Friend Tags

If your child is like mine they get invited to many birthday parties.  You can create a personalized card to keep on hand and attach it to the outside (or inside) of the gift.  It is so stinkin' cute to see adorable cards attached to the gift.  Just have your child sign the bottom in their handwriting and it makes it even more special.  

For the monogram - find a font you like on your computer and print several (play around with the size) then use your round circle or scallop circle punch to punch them out.  Use coordinating paper to design the perfect theme for the entire card.  

I've included the sentiment below -- click on the sentiment, it will open in another window, right click on the sentiment (in the new window) and save it to your computer.  I've included 2 formats, .png (transparent so you will not see a border around the words) or .jpg (which will have a white box or border).  Enjoy!  :)

CJToo's Copic Marker Storage

As my Copic Marker collection grows I really needed to find a way different way to store them.  I prefer to lay them flat so I can visually see the color top and number - but I don't think storing them up or down is an issue (for marker life span).  Anyhoo's…. I've seen several bins that can be a little pricey and since I don't have a humungous selection (I have 39 and there are 345 colors) I was looking for something cheap.  Well, by golly I think I found it.  I was shopping at Office Depot the other day to pick up a few things and was browsing their clearance section (CJToo LOVES a bargain) -- anyhoo's I spotted these little boxes/pen holders on clearance for .97 and thought -- that would work for my Copic markers.  SCORE!  


Here are some pictures to share how I positioned the boxes and how I use them in my work area.  I hope it gives you some inspiration for your marker collection.
