Fun Stampers Jouney Color Splash and Color Burst Pencils Have ARRIVED!!!! - Part 1

My Fun Stampers Journey Color Splash and Color Burst Pencils have arrived.   I've been using them the last few days and really am pleased.

TIPS:  (don't want to forget to pass this information on to you) 
1.  DO NOT use an electric pencil sharpener on either style of pencils.
2.  DO invest in a hand held manual style pencil sharpener --- one for each tin of pencils.  Not recommended to buy a 50 cent one.   I went to a local art store and picked up mine.   About $5 each.
3.  There is a chart inside of each tin (and an identical one one on the back) to show color combinations to use to create Fun Stampers Journey color matches.
4.  Although there are matching numbers in each type of pencil, the colors may not be identical.   For example:
       Beach Ball is #0031 in the Color Splash set.
       Beach Ball is #026 + 030 combined in the Color Burst set.
5.  Each pencil has a color band on it.
       Blue Band = Color Splash set
       Deep Yellow Band = Color Burst set
       (great to know if your pencils have been taken out of the tin)
6.  Both trays in each tin are completely removable.
7.  Color Splash set includes a paint brush and there is a slot in the top tray for it.

Lots of photos to share with you today and tomorrow.
