I've just gone to mark my Promarkers colour chart with my new pens and found that the lid on one of them is faulty and won't stay on! I've just emailed Icon to tell them as I want to take them with me to the US and I don't want them leaking onto my clothes!!!!

What a shame PONR. We must be jinxed for buying nice things. Mine came today and the puppy got hold of one and chewed it. :eek:

Irlilp - will follow you when on I get on to blogger. I've got to catch up on everything on here first.

I don't know what's happened to me today - I've made four cards! I will post them tomorrow morning.

Good luck to everyone entering challenges.

Oh dear - I don't think Icon will replace the pen when a puppy chews it lol!!!!!

I went to go to the range today on the way back from the hospital but i missed the closing by half an hour, we thought it stayed open longer on a sat. I really needed to go to get some card for this seating plan but i will have to find it a bit more local now. Shame as i haven't been there for a little while and felt a little spending spree coming on.

i saw a hougie board demo at a craft fair, it was very popular. I have a score board but it doesn't have any measurements on so it is a bit tricky to know if i am doing it right.

Hi everyone, ive not read through properly yet...you lot can talk! lol
I caught a bit about score boards, is the hougie one much different to the top score one? And are there any cheaper ones that are still good?

Also where do you all get your card from? Ive read that its best to use 280 gsm to make my card blanks but I can't find places that sell a4 pieces of 280 gsm card!
