Bildy Card and a New Copic Storage Solution!!

....I still can't believe that I WON, last week's challenge over at The Bildy Blog, but I am very excited and HAPPY and will be looking forward to receiving my prize stamp.  This is the one I picked out --  Click Here! Isn't she a cutie!  

   This week's challenge is being hosted by "Froggy" and it's  a "Color Inspiration" Challenge and I hope you'll  join me and create a fun card for the challenge - This is the 'inspiration' picture - awesome bright colors...

   And this is my card that I am submitting for the challenge -  I used a floral "Bildy" Stamp that is called - Flowers, which you can find over at StampingScrapping!  

 

    I started by stamping the image twice and using my Copic's I colored the flowers to match the colors in the "Inspiration" photo.  I then adhered that image to a piece of "turquoise" cardstock that I had embossed with my Cuttlebug.  That went onto a "yellow" card based and I added "Twinkle Jewels" to match the room colors again!  It was a FUN card, full of bright colors.  NOTE:  I love the inspiration photo too and think that would be an adorable bedroom for younger kids!   Super cute!   There colors would also look wonderful in a craft room!!

    And speaking of color....I keep "outgrowing" my Copic Storage boxes and had been using "Rubbermaid Cubes"...which I loved!  I bought them before Christmas for  $9.59 ea. at Amazon, with Free Shipping!  ...This weekend, I go  back to order one more...and they don't have them!  ARGH!!  The only ones I can find are much more expensive and you have to pay shipping!  ARGH!   :(   That's out...!

  So, I needed to come up with another idea, at least for the interim and I decided to simply use this "Pink" Fabric Covered Box, that I already had in my room.  I have two of these in slightly different Fabrics and I had been using them to store flowers...but I realized that if I turned the box 'upright" it might hold ALL my Copics...and sure enough, it did!  

 

 

   I even took the time to sort them by colors and I think I'm going to stick with this box for now.   I still have room for more, I fit in both sets of my Spica Pens and it matches my room too!  And the best part is that I already owned it, so it didn't' cost me a penny more, and I bought these on clearance last year...!  Yippee!!
