A good cause and a great bag!

 "IT IS TIME"....quoting from the Lion King....for the bag I have been waiting for! For years now I have been longing for a good storage option at home AND away for my copics. I have a plexiglass stand at home that I have been using but I was finding that I was spending more time putting every marker back in its' home than I was spending my time coloring! 
"IT IS TIME"....to streamline my process.
This new case has 6 sturdy basket inserts and the whole bag can hold 380 markers! This is perfect for travel as it has rigid reinforced sides. I love that I can color sections of my images with different baskets on my table (ie skin tone basket, greenery basket etc). The clean up is so easy too:)

 Here it is all zipped up and ready for travel....even a nice little padding for the shoulder...yup, this is one happy copic user!


So, what do you think about the new Copic Carrying Case? Would you like to *win* one? Copic Marker is proud to partner with Splitcoaststampers the entire month of October for their annual Hope You Can Cling To campaign for breast cancer awareness.

Splitcoast is hosting daily challenges through the entire month of October, and asking members of the paper crafting community to create cards in support of cancer patients and their families and mail them to national partner MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX. Copic Marker is pleased to offer FOUR of these great new Copic Coloring Cases as prizes for four lucky participants in the Hope You Can Cling To campaign. It's a campaign of the sweetest type - you have the opportunity to color, spread a little hope with your handcrafted cards and be eligible to win! 

You can find general information for the Hope You Can Cling To campaign, including information on how to play and a handy tracking sheet to keep track of your entries, here. You can find a master list of the challenges presented thus far right here. It's updated daily for new inspiration, and there are a variety of themes, so participation easy. And, just in case you aren't familiar with Splitcoast, it's a free papercrafting community where thousands of card ideas and tutorials are shared in the galleries and their resource archives. It's a fun place to be. You can find the details here. You can sign up for your free account and start sharing here.

I HOPE you'll find a few opportunities to color and participate with me this month. We'll announce our *FOUR* Copic Coloring Case winners the second week of November! Good luck!
