    Rusty - that's so kind of you!! It makes such a difference now that I have some pens that I enjoy using - I wouldn't have bothered with stamping before I got these pens. It seems so long since I had my other two boys - I hope that I haven't forgotten what to do!!
    Rainmac - I have just coloured in a face - I didn't have the right colour before. I have really got the urge to buy more stamps now!

    How many stamps do you know own missus??? And how amny pens??? You could stamp images and flog them on ebay x

    You should now have it in your email inbox ;) I sent them before I read this :rotfl:

    Melissa Rainmac is right ... your stamps would be free if you stamped the images ;) I keep thinking about things like that but I have no stamps lol I could probably make a killing if I did :)

    I wasn't Mary .... but I seem to be getting better and now use pretty papers and stuff, and I am actually happy with my cards ;)
    The masculine paper is off ebay, someone posted a link ages ago and it has been sitting on my watch list for months til I eventually bought it 2 days ago .... it arrived this morning and its fab!

    Leg is very painful today but card making is taking my mind off it ;)

    Is everyone using the pro-markers and where should I buy them? I'm looking for some pens to colour over stick ons too, as the pens I have don't take too well.....

    Rusty and everyone - fab cards!

    I've fallen off the craft free wagon but found some money that I had forgotten about so kind of neutral but I have only bought essentials like ink pads :p.

    Rusty try some water colour pencils and then paint them with water - that's what I've been doing - I used them on the forever friends bear on the blue card on my blog.

    Not sure if they have them in the £1 shop but they definitely had paint brushes in there. I also spied some reduced in Tesco - mine came from WH Smith in their half price sale.
    I'm going to the £1 shop tomorrow if you want me to look and get some? :D
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    Rusty, I bought a set of 2 packs of Whispers pens on ebay for £10.99 - pastel and bright sets I think. I like them but haven't used them much yet. Have also got a huge set of colouring pencils that include watercolour pencils, from Home Bargains for £2.49. Again, haven't really used them yet. I need some child-free time when I don't have to make wedding cards for money so I can have a play with my bits and bobs.
