    Promarkers here too, love the fact that whatever you colour in looks "printed" rather than coloured in :)

    Way to go! Padster, what a super and lovely prize

    Promarkers for me too and some Flexmarkers jumped into a basket of mine recently too.

    Promarkers for me too, although I think I am going to try the flexmarkers
  • I have only ever used promarkers but see no need to try others as they work so well! Maybe if someone were to give me some.... lol!!
    I've actually made progress on my Christmas cards - uploaded some pics to my blog if you want a peep :)

    I've also only used Promarkers and not for very long. Is it worth using flexmarkers too? I know they have different colours but are there particular situations where Flexmarkers are better to use?

    I've made a couple more cards and put picture on my blob. Would value any feedback.

    Hugs to all that need them

    i also like promarkers but then thats all ive tried and i only have half of what is available

    off to alli palli for the big stamp and scrapbook show, have a little money to buy some bits but i need loads, anyone going?

    have finally finished my mums birthday card and have made my first christmas card, have uploaded to by blob
  • Reading this section has gotten me all excited about Chrimbo. I haven't been well enough to make cards the past two years, but loved seeing everyone else's cards on the forum.

    I've started making a few cards for this year and I'll show them when I get done. Found some new stamps at a webstore called waltzingmouse stamps. Only problem is that the cards people show on the site are way, way above anything I'll ever be able to turn out. I try not to let it bother me and put me off. Do you think there might be a 'crafting' gene? Good luck to everyone.

    I think that if you look at our blogs you'll see that we've all improved from when we started. I wasn't making particularly professional cards when I started out, but am now really proud of the ones I do :D
  • morning all.

    I think i will go for some promarkers and maybe add some of the flexmarkers in to the mix since there are some really pretty colours.
    I wish i was going to alli palli, though knowing me i would spend too much lol
  • Hi everyone!

    Well-medicated I've just bought some promarkers. Decided they were the best to try after asking a few people. Will let you know how I get on when they get here! I've only been making cards for a few months now and mine are better than when I started. Nowhere near professional like some of the ladies on here but getting better lol!

    Georgiegirl2012 I think I asked to enter the challenge but not sure. It's the chick card on my blob for my DD starting school.

    Padster well done:T ZLS hugs for you, hope you feel better soon xx
    louby-lou-lou what a lovely idea!

    Tried to catch up on posts but waaaay too behind to remember everything lol! :)
