I LOVE Copic Markers!

So, I was going to post some of the scrapbook pages I have done in the last week or so, but I have something sooooo much more exciting to share with you :)
I have just started playing with the Copic Markers . . . and lets me just say . . . I LOVE them!!
I started out with 6 markers on Saturday . . . went back to Scrap2Relax yesterday and bought 14 more.
I coloured most of last night, read LOTS of stuff on the internet, and I HAVE to drop back into Scrap2Relax this afternoon for some MORE!!
They are so easy to use, they colour beautifully, and even I (who has no artistic/drawing skill) can blend the colours and get some shading look in my pictures. (Now I need more stamps that I can colour!).
Here are my first attempts . . .

I have enlarged some of my favourites for you . . .
Please note: In real life the blending is MUCH smoother, than in the scanned images.
All Stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

I will be doing a Copic Instructors Certification at the end of August, which I am really looking forward to.
I hope you will join me for some classes in September/October. We’ll let you know the dates when the time gets closer :)
OK, I was going to scrapbook today . . . but I can hear the pens calling me to do some more colouring in!!
Happy Colouring!!

Some Completed Layouts

Wow!  Not only have I done some scrapbooking in the past week or so, I have done traditional paper scrapping to boot!!
It has taken me a few days to take the photos and upload them here . . . but here they are :)
My Crazy horse!!

And . . .
My gorgeous Dogs . . . who are great Buddies :)

I completed these at a fabulously fun scrapping night I had a week ago with the Design Team from Scrap to Relax, in Drouin.
Whilst we were there, we planned some great scrapping workshops for you.  Check out the website (follow the link above) and give Karen a call to register for the Scrapbook Sketch Workshop in July, date TBA :)
I have done some of the layouts for you to look at for this workshop already, and I know the other girls are working on theirs.
If you want to see them . . . you have to come along to the workshop!!
Until Next time,
Happy Scrapping

What have I been up to??

I am sorry it has taken so long to update my blog, but between work, I have been busy playing . . . so I do have some things to share :)
Firstly, I made this for a girlfriend who is getting married next year . . . I thought she needed something to plan her wedding in :)


Secondly, I made this for my scrapbook desk . . . in my favourite colours . . . pink of course.  I LOVE this new paper from the BoBunny Range - it is called Sophia. My new favourite :)
 

Finally, these were made for some of my special friends :)
The A’s . . . are for Amy . . . Matt’s girlfriend.  I gave them to her tonight.  I think she liked them!

I wonder who these C’s are for????  I guess someone will just have to wait until it arrives in their mailbox, won’t they!!

I hope you enjoyed what I had to share :)
Until next time . . .

Welcome . . .

Well, we have just finished another great card class this afternoon, and this evening at Scrap2Relax.
Inbetween classes, I prepared a workshop sample for one of our June Workshops.
This has been requested by one of our customers . . . something to hang up outside our doors at home.
You can do yours in whatever colour you like, and bling it up however you like too :)  Want to see mine???

Here are a few close ups . . .
The flower – it has been painted, and then ‘kindyglitzed’.


The ‘welcome’ letters have been painted, ‘glimmermisted’ and then covered with ‘dimensional magic’.


The top and edges have been decorated with a bit of ‘bling’ . . . a girl can’t have too much bling!!

The date for the classes have not been finalised, but it will be in June sometime.  Keep your eye out on the Scrap2Relax website, or become a fan of Scrap2Relax on Facebook!
Until Next time

A Birthday Card

We went to my nephew’s first birthday today, so of course I couldn’t use a store bought card.
As usual, I was running behind the 8 ball!!  I bought the bits and pieces I needed on Friday night . . . I made the card half an hour before we needed to leave this morning!!
Here it is . . .
I used the the new mini chipboard shapes/words that Karen has at Scrap2Relax.  Inked them with versamagic ink and then . . . yes . . . I used glimmermist again!!  Pearl on the words and gold on the cake.  Then a bit of gold on the candle flame.

Have a great day

Baby Card

I sat down tonight to tidy up my desk and do some scrapping. As I tidied, I ended up making a card.  Sometimes my most favourite cards are the ones I make from the Scraps that are lying around!!
This card has been made from the Kaiser Devonshire Collection . . . the same papers used for the Photo Display (yep, tidying up from then!!).
I need to send a present and card to some friends who have jsut had a baby girl . . . so I have decided to make this a ‘non-traditional’ baby girl card.  What do you think?


Side view . . . showing the ‘layers’ . . .


Close up of the flower . . . Michelle & Karen, you will be so proud of me . . . I FINALLY used some of my glimmer mist :)
I have glimmer misted the flowers with the pearl :)


Happy Scrapping
