Thank You & A Give Away

This post is a sticky, please scroll down for more recent posts :)


I just wanted to do a quick post to say a big thank you to all of you who took the time to critique my first video tut. If you haven't seen it yet, it's here. You are all so kind and you've eased my mind about my clarity of speech and accent. So, I will be making some more videos for you - although you may have to bear with me a little while, Graham goes offshore tomorrow and he's my editor/producer/director and does all the whizz-kid type stuff with it. I just plonk the camera on the tripod next to me and press record lol


So what kind of things would you like me to do video tuts on? Marianne has already suggested black hair, so that'll be first on my list - I know a lot of people struggle with this. So how would you like a little incentive? Ok I'll be giving away a few packs of the brand new Ultra-Fine nibs from Letraset which click onto the bullet nib end of your promarkers. The number of packs I give away will depend on the number of suggestions I get - will update you as it goes along.

If you haven't seen these nibs in action, then click here to read my review.

 To be in the draw to win a pack of 3 Ultra Fine Nibs for your promarkers, all you have to do is leave a suggestion - what would you like me to demonstrate in a video tutorial?
Please feel free to spread the word about this giveaway, the more entries, the more packs I will give away. ** I will give 3 packs away if we reach 50 entries, and 1 pack for every 25 comments after that**
The closing date is Friday 15th July at noon GMT

Promarker Storage - version 3

Hi again, I've made a great discovery and now that I've checked it out (on your behalf of course) I can share it with you... I've been trying to find an affordable solution for storing promarkers. Now I am a very very lucky girl and have 2 complete sets of promarkers, 1 set that comes with me to demonstrations and classes and another set that stays at home for my personal use. 
Up until now the second set has been in a big cardboard box until I found a suitable desktop storage solution, but today I have found the answer!

You can buy this here. It's being sold as storage for Touché  markers, but it works for Promarkers, Trias and probably other types of markers too. And the best bit, in my opinion the price is £12 + VAT + p&p - fabulous value for money.
Now that I have it in my possession I can tell you that it's very sturdy, the outer carcass is 12mm thick mdf with removable partitions. You can of course decorate it to suit your craft space too 
- I will get round to this eventually.


So here's what it looks like with promarkers in-situ (as well as a few sneaky trias)

As you can see, it's plenty deep enough for the promarkers, and even with the ultra-fine nibs fitted, they wouldn't jut out very far.
Just hope I have time soon to decorate it :) 

My First Video Tut

At long last, I have actually got my behind in gear and had a go at a video tutorial. I've kept it short, sweet and simple just until I get the hang of it.

I have stamped "number 1 fan"from Sugar Nellie with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, onto Stampin' Up whisper white card stock and I am using the following promarkers: Burnt Orange, Coral, Sunkissed Pink, Blush, Walnut, Cocoa, Cinnamon, Tan and Almond.

Sorry about the wee bit of wobbling, think the camera must be pretty sensitive - I did have it on a tripod. And I also need to apologise for my voice - please let me know if you can understand what I'm saying, I don't think I have an accent but I've been told I really do lol

I would appreciate all comments and suggestions, don't worry, I'm not afraid of constructive criticism. So are you ready?....
