I've emailed you a link to magazines freedownload.
I'm not sure if I can mention the magazine here.

A few of my latest cards on the blog.

I had a look and it seems good but mostly for quilters really, not a lot on there for card makers or scrap booking, even though scrap booking is in the index. Maybe it is a fairly new site so will keep an eye on it.

Thanks Jude will look at it later.

And sorry, good morning, frosty and misty here too.

Thanks Jillian, I don't think I have any of them. Just checked through all my pens and actually there were only four that had dried up and as they were Marvey whispers I think theyw ere quite old. So i'll go on storing them all flat. Not sure what Aqua markers actually are.

I think that it is Aqua Markers that MUST be stored horizontally.J

Photos on both blogs today. Cards from Jean and two of Chirk castle from Shaun.

Von, I think you are correct. Somebody on FBook sent me a link and it more or less confirms what you say.
Jean i have received the photos thanks.

I would never have thought have storing pens hoizontally but I bought a Marabu textile pen during the week and reading the small print it recommended that it be stored horizontally.
I think it depends on it's base.ie if it's water based the I think you store them horizontally but if they are solvent based then it doesn't matter.

I have found the picture of the storage carousel it wasnt on your blog so have sent a pic of it along with some more cards, hope that is o.k.
love Jean xx

MMm think I will, they do take up a lot of room stored flat. I'll look for something to put them in tomorrow. :-)

Praps you ought to try them Upright then:)) :-D

Ah, Jeans are stored upright and are fine, yours are stored horizontal and are fine, mine are stored horizontal and dry up (Most of mine are Whispers too.)

Ann...l have Whispers Strokes and they all lay down and are fine, have had them 2-3 yrs:)

Jean...go girl, look forward to seeingthem:)

jude :-D

Do you find the pens dry up quickly Jean? Do you store them thick or thin side down or doesn't it make a difference?

Ann, I have all my pens and promarkers upright in a carousel on my craft table there was a pic of it on your blog some time ago,
I have been very busy sorting various cardstock and making yet more cards, so when you want any for your blog let me know....lol...its never ending.....better than a medicine...
love Jean xx

Not sure if Jean is around but anyone else may be able to help. Those of you who use promarkers or similar. How do you store them and do you find they soon dry up?

I didn't make a note of the blog addy so please could someone pm it to me. I can't wait to see what you all have made. I still haven't made the jewellery for the dad of dtr's football team mates to give to his wife for Valentine. Maybe today??????
