I think it's lovely.

the promarker blog ?

Lovely Kim, like the colours you have used.

The Promarker challenge is run on FB, they put a sketch etc on for you to use. Lou and Ruth are part of the design team. You have to post a link to your card via your blog.

They do have a facebook page, but THIS is the link to the actual challenge blog.

As PM's are so popular now, this category was asked for and added to the forum. Mr Green

Kim, it was a tough sketch. I struggled with it. A few people haven't really followed it as it should have been so I think everybody found this one hard. Not only a sketch but a theme too.

I like yours. The colours are super. Mr Green

I didn't exactly follow the sketch with mine, I forgot the bits at top right and bottom left, think you did great Kim, it was a difficult sketch

This is lovely Kim, really like the colours.

If we have this thread/forum now, is it up to each of us to go check out the challenge, or will there be a link someone on here to it so we can see.

Don't think I can join in with that particular one as I think you
need a blog. Can't we have our own challenge here ? Lorraine ??

As far as I'm aware, you can't enter the I love Promarkers challenge by email, although a lot of challenge sites allow it.

We could have a challenge here, Steph but I'm wondering if we have enough going on at the moment. What does everybody else think?
It would have to be our own though.

I meant just for us. Only if the interest is there.

no email entries yet for I ♥ Promarkers as there aren't enough people entering yet so we need more of a blog presence. A blog is easy enough to set up though, you can keep them very plain and simple.

This is my card anyway

Lovely card Ruth.

Thanks for response to question. I think I understood what Kim was saying. Too much hassle to have a blog though, just something else to have to try and keep up todate Mr Green would prefer something on here maybe, esp after the retreat.

You all put your pics here to show us when they are done... so....

How do you think they would feel if you linked to their challenge post, and then we just used the sketch and put our 'tries' on here. We wouldn't be interferring in their blog/site etc., but it would mean more people are viewing their sites so isn't that a good thing.

Never mind, just realised that it would mean more work for someone else having to update this thread/index all the time. Some lovely cards though peeps, you really are clever.

Love the card Ruth - so much going on with the backgrounds,
the bird, the swirls etc and it all totally works - I love it.

It's easy enough to post the sketch here, once it is on the blog it is out in the public domain and as long as we give credit back, we don't have a vast number of Promarker users here so it's not going to make any difference to the blog although anyone who has a blog and wants to have a go from here obviously it's preferable for you to use your blog
