I don't stamp very often Linda but when I do I stamp on spare card and mat it onto the main card. That way if it bleeds through the paper/card it can't be seen once stuck on.

Hi, Linda, I always test promarkers on various papers and cardstock before I use them, I also have other sorts of pens, dufex are very good I have just got whispers so will test them, cheaper card usually bleed ,
with promarkers I dont go right to the edge as sometimes the colour spreads out. the paper you put through a printer is good with promarkers, just going to have a peep at your photos,

love Jean xx

You have some wonderful photos on your photo blog Ann...I especially love the flower ones. Thank you for adding mine and for your kind comment...I am quite pleased how they turned out.

I love all the cards which have been added which brings me to a question please. Do any of you use promarkers if so which weight of cardstock do you use please. I bought a set not so long ago and I have tried using them on some white card stock I have however the promarkers bleed very heavily through the card. Now thinking about it do you stamp, colour and then matt on to a card ? My thanks for any help.

Yeah done a scrapbook page today...surprising what a week of heavy showers can produce lol.

Ann
Could you send me the photo blog address please?

Last time we bought a camera I insisted we bought one with a view finder as I find it easier to use. We have another one without but I can't get such good photos although I'm getting better and was trigger happy on our last trip.
Take care

It's a little difficult if you're taking action shots or photos that are unposed but if you are taking a posed photo then a tripod keeps the camera still.

Linda, just in case you are interested I have sent you the blog address. Do you brace your elbows against your boddy when takng photos to avoid shake? Some cameras these days (one of mine included) have anti shake fitted which helps. :-) :-) :-)

Hello everyone..

Oh dear I am so sorry that I have not been around here much of late...sadly no scrapbooking done either...blame it on the lovely weather we have having over the past few weeks plus an early holiday in Scotland whilst our grandsons were having so many holidays off school during April.

I am no photographer as you well know Ann however I am so willing to learn.

In your reply to my last posting I have an Olympus X-925 and yes my problem is keeping the camera still when I am trying to get the perfect shot of any one of our grandchildren who are on the move. I am beginning to think that my forte maybe taking photos of ruins...at least they don't move lol.

Thank goodness for Picasa!!

I have just checked on the blog...Jean your cards are so lovely.
