PepPop and Rusty,
Great idea about the stamped image share, hope you dont mind if i share mine with you, ive got the ball rolling with 31 stamped images for all to share.
I know i dont craft very much just now, just cant seem to get back into it, but i do alot of searching and (snagging) so would like to share.
Anyone pm me for password and help yourselves.

WOW This is Fantastic, Did you make it!

You know us women we are so good at multi tasking it was just something I rustled up whilst getting the kids lunch :rotfl:.

Thanks for the offer re images I will pm you.

I have just done the b word by the way. Should have been for my niece's card and the two I made at the challenge class. I did my usual though and completely forgot to photograph them before sending them :mad:.

Tired Mom - love the cake. Its absolutely brilliant.
Where do you go to find out about challenge classes? It sounds very interesting!

Carmim - have pm'd you re the images.

I have to apologise, I dont have any stamped images. Being fairly new to crafting, I havent got into that yet. I have looked at them, but I seem to remember others have said something about using a certain ink so it doesnt run when using promarkers. Could someone tell me what its called again. I think this is something I definately need to look into.

Everyone is so kind to want to share their images. I think its a great idea and when I do buy some I will let you know.

The ink you are after is Memento ink as it doesn't stain your promarker pens which I believe stazon does.

The challenge classes are run by my local Stampin Up lady whose technique classes Skiergirl and I go to. She runs allsorts of classes and you can come and go to which ones you like and they vary in price. If you google for your local Stampin Up demonstrator you may be able to find someone and then contact them to find out what classes they do. Some demonstrators do amazing classes it just depends in your area.

I'm like you I have very few images, most have been kindly donated to me already. I also don't have a scanner so can't do much with the ones I do have but may have to see if I can borrow a scanner at somepoint.

For promarkers you must remember to use Memento or Versafine. I'm like you Addams and don't have any, but as soon as I do, I will share too.

Thankyou for the offer of sharing your stamps Carmim. xxx

Thanks Tiredmom. I have googled stampin up and found the website. I searched for a demonstrater and found there are a few nearby, so will contact them and find out where their demos are. Thanks again.

PepPop

Carmin - I've PMd you.

TiredMom your cake is fantastic :T:T

I'll probably not be back on later, it's my kinda anniversary (OH ain't married but we got engaged 5 years ago today) so I'm hoping I'm going to be getting wined and dined later... (Need to rush home and make his card before he gets in from work - I am so disorganised!!)

Have a great night all and catch you tomorrow.

Your welcome but you may not thank me when you get hooked on their products. Shirley is good as she doesn't do any pressure selling but I don't know that they are all like that so don't be coerced into buying anything if you don't want it. Be careful as well as some of the colours are changing and a new catalogue will also be out in October.
