Hi,
I haven't tried a challenge yet but would love to get involved. I take it I make a card from the theme, but do I post an image of it or a link to it or what?
Sorry for being full of questions. It all gets far too exciting!

Nici - normally there is a Mr Linky box and you would scroll to there and put in the link to your blog where the piccy of the card would be - If you dont have a blog - you can still enter some challenges - the people who are running the challenge would advise how you do it though - hope that makes sense. Sorry, not too good at explaining x

Help!! can anyone give advice on how to tie ribbon round card - I have been trying to copy tying ribbon round a card a la rainmac but it just keeps getting twisted and doesnt look at all good - is there anything I need to be doing differently than just trying to tie it?? Thanks ladies xx

Nici - Please don't apologise for asking questions, we all ask all the time, either for advice on how to do or where to get !bargains!;) We are very easy going on challenges you can either put a picture of your card on here or put it on your blog and just tell us where to find it. If you've got a blog you can put a link to it under your name on here. HTH

ali.b - I'm not very good at it either so I try to tie it round the backing paper so I can stick the back so it holds it firm IYSWIM - I have seen on 'bought' cards that they don't tie round the card but anchor two pieces on the inside with a bit of tape then put an inner in the card - don't think Iv'e expained that very well sorry!

Hi everyone. I'm looking for some advice. I'm going to purchase my first promarkers from Angel Crafts (the bulk buy set of 10) and was wonder what are the best colours to get? Thanks, x

Oh my - I don't know what are the best but I would definitely think about skin tones and hair colour to start with. I use satin and dusky pink for skin; cinnamon and henna for brown hair; ice grey 4 and black for black hair. Then maybe one each of the rainbow colours. I've got 47 colours and that's not enough :eek:
