Hey everybody! Some fun stuff to share with you today....first of all a fun card that puts me in the spring mood. This is one of my favorite images from the "Friendly Kritter" line from Cornish Heritage Farms. It is called "Lending a hand".One thing I LOVED in the design of this card is the core'dinations cardstock that has this woodgrain pattern in it. It is the cosmo cricket pattern in the coreimpressions. I loved this pretty warm grey that I could match my copic markers.
Here is a close up of my tap....do you see the blues and violets in there? Metals are really fun to color. My little rub on sentiment I could bend around the tap too!
NOW to copic news....if you have been on the copic teams' blogs this morning you may have noticed that we are adding a very special girl to the team...
WELCOME JENN BALCER! Woohoo!
She is such a sweetie and talented like crazy...I'm so glad she is joining us! She is looking after the south central part of the US.
To celebrate copic is giving away an empty 24 piece size wallet to carry your favorite markers in. I often use this size when traveling on a plane to color while I am up in the air.
All you have to do is leave a comment on this post and I will do a draw first thing Saturday morning.....good luck!

Welcome Jenn!
Beautiful work on that stamped image. I would not have thought to use blues and violets to bring out the "metal" visual.
Congrats to the newest team member! What an achievement!
Love your card--the wood background really draws the eye.
Right now my goal with copics is to actually like something that I colored. I am getting there but it does take practice. I love what you do and am thankful for all the hints you give.
The images on your card are so darn cute. Of course, the coloring is great!
What a darling image...and flawlessly coloured. Thanks for pointing out the blues and violets in the metal tap. I'd never have thought of that!
Love the card and your coloring is awesome!!! Congrats to Jenn!!! I had a really great time at the Copic certification class in Calgary, btw you are awesome at public speaking.....well, I ordered my compressor yesterday and just a few more markers....lol...I almost have them all now!!! :) Now to be patient until it arrives....so many things to airbrush.....thanks for such a great giveaway!!!

Oh, LOVE those new Core'dinations papers and your sweet image/card! Thanks for a chance to win this handy wallet. It would be so nice to have!
I never thought of using purples on my metals. Great idea!! Love the wallet!
The card is so cute and congrats to Jenn.
Hi Sharrie! Love your little bird!
Thanks for a chance to win a wallet :)
That image is sooo CUTE! And your card design rocks! Congrats to Jenn.
Super cute card! Fabulous metal coloring!
Hi Sherrie--
What a sweet card!! The stamp reminds me of House Mouse stamps, they are one of my favorites. I can't wait until you come to teach in Boise. I am already signed up for the class at the local store here. I will also be signing up for the COPIC certification class when it is available. Welcome Jenn! from a Copic addict!!!!
I love the "Friendly Critter" and will have to add this stamp to my wish list. It made me smile! the coloring that you did on this is magnificent.
I love the card its darling I'm heading over there right now to check out the stamps but you are really good.
God Bless,
Jeanine
Your card is too cute!! Welcome to Jenn, good luck to you!

hey sherrie -- this card made me laugh. we had a couple of little mice find their way into our house and chew into assorted pantry items. your "thanks" tag almost looks like little bite marks. i was not thanking the mice for being them though. the card would have to have a "thanks for being dead" sentiment -- probably not a big seller for a card. :)

Ever since I got into Copics (July 09) I have had nothing but fun and good luck. I started a blog in August and I have to say I am loving the whole Copic community. Thanks for this opportunity to win. I love your card and I hope one day to be able to go to a Certification class. Hugs, Lisa G at l_gobea@yahoo.com
What a sweet card, I've been eyeing up that image at CHF! Neat marker pouch, I'm always afraid to bring my markers with me when I travel in case they get lost, but maybe with just a few as would fit in that case it'd work, thanks for the chance to win.
My friend and I carry our Copics to color during down time, so this wallet would be perfect!

WOW!! The colors are great! I would've never guessed about the different colors used for the faucet. I learn something new about Copics/coloring with Copics every day. Thanks for the great example. Thanks for the giveaways!!! Keep up the great inspirations!
