Can you tell us more about Zazzle? Super nice pen (I remember drinking PBR in college, and it sure wasn't because we were hipsters)

So that is what you were doing with all those PBR stickers! Great looking pen. You must be planning to make several.:wink: Thanks for sharing the zazzle tutorial.

I only have a few PBR blanks but since I could place so many graphics on a single sticker, I wanted to fill the page with various sizes to fit different pens kits.
