    I think the parting of the ways must have been quite sudden - they had the blonde lady (is it Nicky?) who normally demonstrates stamps and dies doing the demonstrating on a Serif programme I saw on C&C yesterday - and bless her, she tried manfully to do it, but I don't think she'd practiced for very long.... even Nigel was stepping in at times!

    I thought she struggled - it's one thing to know how to use CA but entirely different to show and explain it to others especially when they're not in the room! Hopefully with practice she'll be more confident.

    Can't be easy being chucked in at the deep end, especially on a program that is complex, which is what Serif is. I've been using Paint Shop Pro for years, but ask me to explain it to anybody............... my efforts would produce a serious thumbs down.

    I always liked the scrapbook pages that Michelle produced. Would have like a little more journalling, but I did think the way she set photos, backgrounds, and embellishments to be excellent. A brilliant way to see how a scrapbook would work if using ones own backgrounds and embellishments, though no reason why one couldn't cut them out and use them as one normally would anyway.

    Perhaps she was only filling in until Serif appoint a new peep?

    I did wonder if she'd been dropped in at the deep end and asked to fill in at the last minute.

    Sometimes when Michelle was away, there has been a young lady on with long dark hair and she was very good and very nice but maybe she's not there wither now. Can't remember her name - doh!

    I think she was one of the design team - I know she's mentioned a lot on their forum. Is she called Charlotte????

    Wasn't she the one with an odd haircut and sort of off the wall fashion who drew the art deco cruise digikit?

    They would have needed somat stronger than that to get me on chuck. In my contract with the Guild of Master Craftsmen it said I should make myself available for television/radio. Make myself available!!! Who were they kidding? I kept quiet about the whole thing as I didn't want to go anywhere near a telly/radio station, and I still don't.
