I just blogged another batch though & thought you might like to take a look
I have a craftRobo Dee & I'm ashamed to say I've only used it a couple of times, I found it completely user-unfriendly to start with & gave up on it without really giving it a proper chance...one day, when I have lots of time on my hands (in about 15 years when my children are in their teens!) I'll try to get to grips with it ![Smilie](images/smilies/1smile.gif)
Loved your card. Hope you do find some time to work with Robbie, I am no expert but he and I have come to an understanding and we rub along OK now. Just got to sort out writing with him that's, my New Year plan. I did try to write while doing my Christmas cards but I still have not got pens that fit perfectly and it was taking too much time so I gave up. I think with CR you have to learn all his idiosyncrasies and he can spit his dummy out but I love him and would not be without him, well perhaps to buy a later model

Dee i've written with robbie - the sakura pens fit and write beautifully. He wrote this for me. however, the sakura pens don't like being distressed with the tim holtz pads after, i have smudged some doing this after. i am, however, impatient and may just not be waiting long enough. my sakuras are the gelly roll stardust. i haven't tried my souffle ones in there yet.
buying the pen holder was a great move and in time, with more fonts, will be like having any sentiment stamp you want in any size - ooooh i should sell for them!!!! lol

Hi Lilli
Love that card, your writing is great. I tried with Sukura pens but they smudge seemed to flood no matter what I changed the pressure to, I don't have the special pen holder I made one of the Sakura barrels fit the normal pen holder and then I just changed the inner to what ever colour I wanted. However, it just did not work for me. I bought some very small gel pens which I thought would fit the normal holder but they didn’t so again I butchered one of the holders and got it to fit, it did write better than Sakura but it was not perfect. I want to get this right so that is one my list of things to master in the New Year.

Reducing the pressure and increasing the speed may help a bit but I think it's best to stick with the sparkly or metallic colours; the two tone ones work OK if the writing is fairly large.
Check the Robo forum too as there's a lot of threads about suitable pens to use.

Thanks Rosemary, yes I see that you have to get the right pen, right pressure and then there's the paper - oh dear.
Going to get started next week, I will lick it yet well perhaps not lick it but you get the picture.
