Sharpies....






I have fell in LOVE with Sharpies!!!






Why you ask? It all started with this layout.....I was in need of Brown stuff. Brown Chipboard, Brown Ghost Letters, Brown Big Brad & Brown Grommets.


I started with colouring in the Heidi Swapp Ghost Letters with My Brown Sharpie.....then thought hmmmm; instead of painting my chipboard lets try colouring it Brown with a Sharpie! Well It Worked! I like it cause it isn't such a big mess - and gives the same look!


THen I needed a brown brad a chocolate brown brad - not earthy tone but brown. I coloured on a white big brad & voila a brown brad! I needed to use the New Making Memories Grommet tool! There isn't brown Grommets available so out comes my Sharpie - Silver Grommets are now Brown!!



I used Sharpie Brand for these but know for a fact that Staples has the Bic Brand on for $4.99 this week for I believe 10 different colors in the pack! No more; needing that right color embellishment for a layout - dig out those Sharpies!
Don't forget - send in your Tips and we have a suprise for you!

I love it!! I did something like this the other day on a layout.. I used paint, and painted the color I wanted on an existing biggie brad! It worked out great!
