I am having some serious internet problems. I've lost my wireless network, again, after spending almost 2 hours on the phone last month and $40 to Linksys because my software was outdated. It just up and quit working last night and I've done everything I can do to get myself up and running normally again with no luck at all. I also had oral surgery yesterday and have 26 stitches in my mouth, so this is really bad timing. I might be a little late with the blog prize drawings here, Christian Paper Crafts Creative Blog, and Stampin' Up! With Cindy. Look on the bright side, you can sneak in your comments and all of the other things :) I do have to get my network up and running again though and that is a priority because it affects my entire household. Thank you so much for understanding and have a very blessed day, and definitely keep me in your prayers!

DON'T FORGET TO READ MY BLOG CANDY POST BELOW THIS FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN A COLOR CUBBIE AND COPIC MARKERS! YOU CAN ALSO WIN MORE BLOG CANDY AT STAMPIN' UP! WITH CINDY!

Now that I'm back from the Land of Oz, I have a tremendous amount of catching up to do before my oral surgery on Thursday, which I'm not looking forward to. I don't like dentists or surgeons and I'm getting both in one day, so I'm totally unnerved and would appreciate any prayers that you could send my way.

I made this card for the Splitcoast Stampers Clean and Simple Summer Design Team tryouts for challenges 3 and 4. Challenge 3 was to have dimension and challenge 4 is to make something that is movable, which is my chicken, and the chicken is also dimensional as well.

My stamp set is the adorable new Chicken Scratch from Mark's Finest Papers, which is a relatively new stamp company that is growing on me as I already have 4 of their stamp sets.

Thank you so much for looking and may the Lord richly bless your day. Oh Lord, help me increase my faith in you!

The question is always being asked as to how to store Copic markers. The answer to that is any way you want to! They do not need to be stored on their sides or flat, which is a common misconception with this marker as it’s pressurized. With this in mind, the possibilities are endless as to how you want to store your Copic markers. I’ve used many methods, but my favorite has to be the Color Cubbie by Studio 3 Solutions, that are made specifically with Copic markers in mind or any marker in mind. The cubbies are just the right size so that your marker doesn't tip over when grabbing it and you can clearly see the colors and numbers of the marker. They are very reasonably priced at $16.95 per unit and this is the only product they make, so each unit is handmade. I have 5 of these units and store all of my pens, markers, and pencils in them.
 
Each Color Cubbie holds 120 Copic sketch syle markers with 24 markers on each shelf. The shelves of the Color Cubbie are angled so you can easily see the name of each marker (Copic Sketch style) and the angled shelves allow you to pull a marker out from anywhere on the shelf without the other markers falling out.
 
The Color Cubbie measures 4 5/16" W x 14" H x 5 1/2" D and comes in white. The interior, exterior and the shelves of the Cubbie are made of 1/4" wood that is coated with a durable vinyl finish. The face of the Cubbie and shelves are painted with a vinyl based enamel paint. The Cubbies can easily be dusted or wiped clean with a dry or damp cloth.
 
The Color Cubbie will also accommodate a variety of other coloring mediums, such as Copic Ciao Markers, Stampin' Up! markers, Prismacolor Pencils, gel pens, etc.
 
I love my Color Cubbies and the design is perfect for my craft space! Keep on reading because I'm going to show you some pictures and then an opportunity to win your own Color Cubbie with 3 Copic markers of your choice included!
 
 
 
 
Look how perfectly and neatly they all work together! Studio 3 Solutions is providing the Color Cubbie prize for us and I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their generous donation to Christian Paper Crafts and me!
 
Now for the rules to win this prize:
1.  Take the first picture and post it on your blog linked back to here to share with your friends our prize.
