padster/marg/ali sounds like you all had a good time at harrogate!!

Wifey - thanks for the images in the post! I am a little confused what 'sprayed' and 'unsprayed' means though? I am probably just being dim

welcome back PLM :hello:

Gemm, the sprayed ones have the inkjet fixative spray on them that is supposed to stop the ink running into the colour. It happens with the Copic Ciao markers I have (not many yet) I tried to used my Copics after I had sprayed some images and it went streaky. Let me know what you find with your Promarkers. Not sure if it's me or the pens. My money is on me!

Has anyone bought any of the forever friends xmas kits? I can't decided if i should buy it or not. Is it a bit kiddie-fied to give to adults? I have seen an offer it is ment to be £23 but is on offer for £10 it Contains stamps, pens, stickers, backing papers, glitter, embellishments, and peel-offs. I thought i would get it as i don't often treat myself to craft things unless they are mega cheap but need cheering up. I am all alone this week hubby ia away until next weekend with work, our twins should have been born this week and our Son starts his first day at big school tomorrow :eek: time flys, he looks way to small. His jumper goes down to his knees and his hands don't come out of the sleeves bless him he will look a right sight.

I am sure i got calendar tabs for 10p last year as ds did both grandparents a paper plate calendar but can i get hold of any that cheap now. May be it's still too early.

Ali I am cursed with Ben 10 too- here is one I had to make for a Ben 10- mad kid...

Wow !! Can you tell me how you made this?? where did you get the backing paper?? I have 2 days to make DS a birthday card!!! I am starting to panic as last year I followed a challenge which went drastically wrong!!! it was for a swing card and I was rescued by the lovely Polly on here who made a fantastic star wars card for me to give to him!!

I found it in the works shop, I get a few bits from there. So does it sound a good deal then? I might have to go get it after all.
