I'm not just certifiable...

I'm Certified!! Yup, I took the Copic certification class with Jennie Black out in Sacramento yesterday. I got to carpool with the wonderful Eva, and met lots of uber talented ladies at what my husband termed the "muggle marker" class. (since I said they are NOT magic markers, he decided they must be muggles then!)

I learned some great techniques, and am now totally craving the air compressor for my airbrush system, as well as about 100 more markers (I currently have 112 - I counted!) Guess I better start saving some dough.

Arlene of Butterfly Kisses sat with Eva and I, and she was joined by two more friends, so it was like a big ole party. Fun times for sure. I actually got a little coloring done during some of the time Jennie was talking (seriously, she TOLD us to color then!!) and finally colored up one of my sweet little PI's in black and white. You all know I love this technique for my La-La Land stamps, but hadn't yet tried it with my MFT cuties. I used W00, 1, 3, 5, 7 and a touch of 9. What do you think??


I paired her with this fabulous Circa 1934 paper from Cosmo Cricket and this past week's MFT Weekly Stamp Club sketch. Can you see the little pop of red on her hearts?? That's with a spica pen - LOVE those!!


Hope you all have a great day, and be sure to come back tomorrow as I've got something planned! :-)
