Here is another fun image I colored today by Riku Yanki. I call her my Daisy Girl. I had fun coloring her with my Copic Markers. Copic markers are very expensive, generally $6.50 each but I found them at icopic.com for $4.87. A very good deal since they are refillable too. Love my Copics.
Hello all,
This is my Copic Coloring of the Hawaiian girl from Color Me Copic Class. I think her surfboard could've used some more shading so I'll go back in and shade a little better.
So, what do you think?.......
This is a card I made from a class that I took on May 3rd with Laura Clonch. She is such a nice lady and a great teacher. If you want to take a class from her, she teaches at Almost Heaven Scrapbooking. Isn't it pretty? I had such fun with all the ladies there. I really enjoy coloring with my Copic Markers!
Copic Markers are expensive ( $6:50 ), but well worth the price. They are a professional marker, originally created for fine art and design, then the Japanese comic industry (Manga & Anime) began using these markers. They are an alcohol ink which is a permanent dye, non toxic and environmentally friendly-you never throw them away because they are refillable. Once dry, they are archival and acid free.
This past Saturday, I became Intermediate Certified! Colleen Schaan taught the class in Columbus OH. This class is for people who want to know more of the artistic aspects of working with Copic products and you must've completed the 1st Copic Certification class to be able to attend this one.
Drove to Columbus OH for the Copic Intermediate Class. Had a blast. Will have to post some pictures later.
This is my "Let It Snow" mini inspired by Laura from the Paper Trail. It is a hinge mini album with snowflakes as the "hinge" to hold the pages together inside. I should've taken pictures of the inside, but I didn't.
This mini is called "Pocket Full of Memories". Also inspired by Laura. I'm not finished with the front but here is a picture of the inside pages. Each page holds one 4x6 photo mat and two 3.5 x 5 photo mats and two 2 3/4 x 4 journaling tags. The papers I used were from the Aspen paper pack by CTMH.

Ok, I scrap lifted from Tim Holtz. The man is incredible! He is so talented. The tag on the left is for Caitlin. She likes it when I make her a book mark. She has already put in a request for Valentines day for goodness sake! The one on the right is mine...don't ask what I'll do with it because I've not a clue.
PRAISE HIM! I AM FINISHED WITH IT! And everyone ( U. Ed ), says "AMEN"! I've been at this quilt FOREVER. Well, it seems like forever. I got stuck on the border and didn't like the pattern I chose to finish it and didn't want to pick it up again. AND, I'll never ever tell someone I'm making them a quilt. I'll let them be surprised if I ever do this again. I don't like the pressure it puts on me. I just need to remember that motto.
Well, anywho, all we have to do is mail it out. It is boxed and ready to ship.

This is me at the end of the Lewis and Clark Trail in Seaside OR.
The tide is in. A Mary and I decided to take a walk on the beach thinking the tide was going out. Wrong. I bet we never ran so hard in our lives when a sneaker wave almost got us. We were busy looking for shells and weren't paying attention to the water! We had a good long laugh afterward though......."Run! A Mary Run!"
This is the house we rented and stayed at. There were 12 of us ladies, most of us were related and there were 5 that were friends of my cousins who were invited to join in on the fun. The house I believe had 4-5 bedrooms and the living room had 2 sleeper sofas. There was also a game room and a hot tub which we all enjoyed very much. The house was two blocks from the beach.
The tide is out. This is what we saw on our arrival on Friday afternoon.
I had a wonderful time with my family. I'm missing my A Mary. What a wonderful, special and loving woman. I am so glad she is in my life. I am also so glad for my husband who made the trip possible for me. He knows I miss our life back in OR and WA and made a way for me to be with family who loves and cares for our little clan out here in WV.
