I feel exactly the same, Jay, and I've got about eight cards to make for January birthdays. Your cards are lovely, though, so try not to give up. I can see me buying a couple out of the lot I have to do, but the others are easy to make for so it won't be a real problem. As for the promarkers problem, yes I use them on designs I'm going to layer, but it's a shame they can't be used directly on cards, in most cases. That's their only let down in my opinion.
