Copic~Copic~ and some more Copics!!





Oh my!! I am so excited. I got my Copics today. I could not wait to use them. I finally got the kids fed and in bed, so I opened up my goodies. They are so much fun. Check out the very first picture I colored with them. I will get better.. I just have to remember to stay in the lines!! HAahah!! Something I am trying to teach my 3 year old right now. Well, I can already tell these are going to be addicting. I had to restrain myself, because I thought I should at least test them before I bought the whole lot!!! "COPIC Sketch 322 Markers Complete Set" Yeah right! My husband would have a heart attack. I Did want to share with you that COPICmarkerS.com sells "CUSTOM" box sets which I thought was really cool. The Sketch 72 Marker Box Sets do not always have the colors you need. By purchasing the custom box you can pick and choose the colors needed and save a little money at the same time. Just a little tip before you buy the custom box, make a note to check and see if the colors you want are in stock first. You buy the Custom set first and then send them an email with the colors you want. Maybe I can talk my husband in to getting me the "Airbrushing System" for Mothers Day…keep your fingers crossed for me. This is a whole new adventure for me. Ok, back to those Copics… after the holiday weekend, I will have fun with some stamped images. I still LOVE the vintage prints, but I have found a new excitment about stamping again….and for a good reason don’t you think? Hubby is almost done with his envelope pattern document and I just have to type up the details for the tutorial. It is amazing how long everything takes. Tomorrow we will be packing for a long weekend away at our cabin..(yikes no computer LOL) So the two kids, two labradors, my husband and I will be heading out for a long weekend. I hope you and your family all have a Happy Easter and remember........don’t forget to count the eggs before you hide them!! LOL

  1. How exciting Priscilla... a whole set of copics! I have not made that investment yet and probably won't unless I fall into a vat of money somewhere:)) I can only imagine what great eye candy will be in store for us once you start popping out cards you've colored with those great markers. I can't wait. Hope you have a blast at your cabin. Time away from the computer is a good thing every now and then especially when you have those precious children and a terrific hubby to spend it with. I'm also off to visit my mom and siblings in central Wisconsin for the weekend. I'll be excited to see the envelope template soon!

  4. How fun for you! I bought my first single copic marker last weekend. (Flesh color)so I can do skin tones on my people images, but haven't tried it yet. Pricey little buggers! I hope you have a fun weekend. Be safe! :)

  5. Wow! What a treasure of copics you have now. I know what you mean about staying in the lines. lol I do think that you have to have the right colors to blend with properly, so it's great that you found somewhere that allows you to customize your set. Thanks for sharing that! Have fun with your family over the Easter Weekend. Enjoy your time away from the computer.

  8. Those copics are very fun, it'll be even more fun when you get the Airbrush machine! Go to http://www.copicmarkers.com/StoreFrontProfiles/DeluxeSFItemDetail.aspx?sfid=78416&c=166006&i=4381903
    The machine with all the attachments for $180, that is the cheapest place I've found. Mine works great!
    You are doing great blending the copics, I still am practicing with mine.

    Have a Happy Easter!
