I think this is the old design as my fist promarkers were all like this and most of the recent ones I have had have been the all round design. hth

I presumed it was the newer design as some of my ones came from CCW and they didn't stock them at the start, so presumed they hadn't. My others came from letrasett.

Yep this is normal, most of mine have the old label but I would say 30% have the newer label like your lilac they are still the same, just different wrapper so to speak I have all of them apart from 10 greys! :eek: I decided I didn't use the 5 greys I have enough to warrant buying the other 10 ... I keep eying up the copics now ... wonder if I can sneak some in without OH knowing!

Ah, okay, thank you! It's a bit annoying just one of them has that design! But I'll live.

Eek, that's a lot Rusty! I agree, I don't really know why one would need so many shades of grey.

What's the difference between copics and promarkers?

The main difference is .....

The price :rotfl: they are not very MSE ... not sure what the difference in price is, but I need some more pens to spend money on now I have all the promarkers .... actually I need to replace my blush (again!!) or learn to use a different skin colour!

I dunno either Dragonllew, I was just guessin when I first replied lol

Jazabelle, mine are exactly like that but they work thats the main thing. The main difference between the copic and PM is that there are lots more colours and they are in some tones a little softer, you'd like the skin colours, Rusty. And the grey C1 is perfect for just a hint of shadow around a coloured image.

Rusty yes we did have a problem as I ordered more boxes with the cabinets (just like in Oliver Twist, my OH said 'you want more!!) and one cabinet came with the wrong configuration of holes but I gave them a ring and the right one appeared within a day or two and we also got a voucher. It does pay to complain. I've got six cabinets now mainly A4 size and they sit under a kitchen worktop, OH did a lovely job.

Holey carp! Frustrated as hell as I can't get to play with my Insect, OH is on early earlies for another week.

What awful news Craftygranny - at least they have found out what's wrong with him and it can be fixed.

Rusty congrats on another DT position - you'll be run ragged it's not the creating that takes the time its fighting with blogger to allow me to leave comments . Try satin for skin if you want a change

Artydoll - I've made my red & green card (thanks to Rainmac for the image) but I can't blog it till tomorrow as it's too dark to take a photo

Hope everyone's feeling a bit better today I never thought I'd say this but I'm actually missing DD :eek: and looking forward to having my ears talked off when I pick her up Friday tea time :rotfl:

craftygranny - sorry to hear about your sons news - hugs to you all xxx
rusty - I tried some copics at Angelas from Sparkly cards - yay she let me have a go - they are very nice. I did consider getting some but they are quite a bit dearer than pro-markers - yet soooo lovely - lol!!
