    Ali - looking forward to hearing your promarker tips. I have started to play with them and am really enjoying it. Cant get the hang of the blender pen though!

    Rainmac - thanks for the freebie image. I am definately going to get the Bigshot, I have already started looking at die cuts to get. Any advice as to where to get various shapes, like squares and circles etc.?

    I messed about with the blender today Addams and I think Ive found a way to work it, will have to try and figure out how to explain it
    I only done very small areas at a time and first of all I used the blender pen all over the bit I was working on, then I added the colour that I wanted to be used on the darker areas, then I got the blender pen and with the bigger end of the promarker I coloured a little bit on the blender pen and then used that to blend in, I dont think thats how your meant to use it but it seems to have worked ok and I think with practice it will be the way forward for me
    Am just going to have a nosy at the dies as well flourgirl - I got an email to say my bigshot was dispatched today:j:j
    The people who are buying our house - there surveyor was round today doing a full structural survey , we didnt think there was a great deal wrong but you never know (we live in a victorian house) anyway he only found a very small area of damp so we are very happy :):)

    I don't know about anyone else but I get in a right state trying to remember/ record current blog challenges. Well on the right hand side of my blog is a list of challenge blogs arranged by day but what I've done now is to write at the side what their current challenge is - I'll try and keep on top of it and update it when they change. I thought it might be of use - if there's any blogs that you want me to add just tell me. Anyway its here just scroll down and they're on the right.

    Jowri - hope you have fun today!

    Rusty - hope you and bunbun have a fab time - thanks for your comments on my card!

    Rainmac - I've just signed up!

    Melissa, Big Ta!'s going out to you as that is so handy.
