Boys rule, girls rule with the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder

Well what should you do on a Sunday afternoon in the summer when there are thunderstorms?  Create of course!  And not feel guilty!  I used the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder with a Sakura metallic Gelly Roll gel pen to draw the lines and the title on this.  I used the offset method to fill the lines in the title.  You can find out how to do that here... offset fill in

I love making lines for journaling right on my background paper, then I can get all my words to line up and look clean and neat, even in my own handwriting.

Here are the finished pages!  My daughter told me I spelled boys drool wrong!  LOL!  She cracks me up!

And now for the Explore...

Well I did it.  I took the plunge.  So many of you have raved about the Cricut Explore & begged me for tools for the Cricut Explore, that how could I turn you down?
So this came this weekend...

And my husband has already drawn up the plans for a marker holder (it will fit up to 1/2 inch markers, or a fine point original Sharpie), a pen holder for gel pens & an engraving tip to etch on metal sheets, acrylic, etc!  So watch this blog for more details!  I will work on pre-orders this week.  Hoping to start shipping Mid-August, fingers crossed!  For now I got to play with a prototype and got this... 

This is a Sakura metallic Gelly Roll pen in what will be the Explore pen holder!

1st birthday with Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder

Wow it has been a busy year in my house!  We have been remodeling, and it takes a lot of time and effort!  I did finally get to get a scrapbook page done of my nephew's 1st birthday, he is almost 2 1/2 now, eeeek!
I used the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder with the white Signo Uniball gel pen.  I used the sketch feature in Studio to change a normal rectangle into the swirl pattern you see on my page.  The title was a Studio download.  The journaling is my own handwriting.

Cricut owners I need your help!

Cricut owners I need your help! I have had quite a few of you with the Explore ask if I'm going to make any holders for the Explore. Well I need opinions on what you are looking for!
If I had a pen holder that centers most gel pens, would anyone be interested in that? What about an engraving tip?
I don't have the machine (yet) and don't know if a 1/2 inch holder is an option (think original fine point Sharpie marker) but is that something anyone is interested in?
I need to see some interest before I invest in the machine and time to do all of this! Thanks for all your help!
