Hamish - its really kind of you to offer. A while ago I bought a load of magnolia ones from ebay - so I need to use my promarkers on them and see what they look like. What greetings farm ones do you have? I've only got three but if you don't have those I could send you some?
Skiergirl - I can't remember what they're called. I'll go and have a look and see if I can find you some.
Rusty - luckily my OH doesn't pay much attention to what I am typing - just as well really - otherwise he'd see just how much everything costs.

Rainmac - I know time goes fast doesn't it? I am gradually building up my stock of baby clothes. We have chosen the name Elliot for this one - I don't know why it just came to me!!
Rusty - That's really kind of you - but I have given up trying to use my printer - it just gets me mad. Of course your cards are good enough to sell - give it a try and see how you get on!!
The postman has just knocked with my promarkers - hurrah!! I shall go and colour now!!

my son is Elliot so you may have heard me mention him it is a great name!!!

Skiergirl - they seem to just be called "peel off pens", the glitter pot has some - 10.89 for 12 pens:

I'll see if I can find any cheaper.

Stupid question time ... whisper pens? and also pro markers whats the idea? presumably they are expensive felt tips and you then brush over with water or something or am I being completely thick??

hiya Rusty just wanted to say that I have whispers pens as was recommended them by PLM. She also did a really fab tutorial that is on her blog and I found that sooooo helpful! I have only just started stamping and I did my second image as Mel (PLM) suggested in the tutorial and it came out much better I thought compared to my first one that I just coloured in.

Hope that makes sense and I really enjoyed using the whispers and would recommend them but not tried the others!

Furrypig - PLM's images are fab when she uses the whispers pens aren't they?? I love how she does the shading - I just couldn't do it - I don't know if it was the card I was using or the water brush. Elliot is a fab name isn't it?? I like names that aren't too popular but aren't weird either. My other brats are called Leo and Brandon.

Sorry I'm back again - you can't get rid of me today. Check out these fab stamps for 99p:

they're in the same range as the giraffe and fox ones that I used on my latest cards. I think I want some of these now too.
