My Copic Coloring Notebook

This is my version of a Copic Coloring Notebook.  I had made the smaller one that I saw on youtube but found that I didn't use it that much mainly due to the size, I aldo did not need a lot of the added pages, I just wanted something to use for my coloring and notes at a size that I like and this is what I came up with.  I keep it in my bag with I markers and it is there when ever I want to color.  I'm going to stamp up a lot of images (even full ones) and when ever I want to just color it is ready.  It is like a Smash Book for my coloring.

2012 Christmas Card 7 & 8

Here are 2 more of my 2012 Christmas Cards with the simple background.  The first card is made using the Inkadinkado Stamping Gear, and the second one has a Magnolia stamped image colored with Copic markers.  I am also trying not to buy anything to make these cards but to use up what I already have.

Thin Die Storage

I wanted to share with you the new way that I am storing my thin dies.  I used the same scrap saver pockets as I did for my stamps.  I also found the vent covers that I am using at The Dollar Tree.   These are great and for $1.00 they can't be beat.

Martha Stewart - Stamp Around the Page

I wanted to share with you my new toy.  A local store called Pat Catans is having a Martha Stewart 50% off sale and saw these.  Had never heard of them before so at that price I decided to give them a try.  It took a few tries to figure it out but once you get it, it is really simple to do.  This is so much fun to play with.

Martha Stewart Mini Scoring Board

Wanted to share with you a new tool that I have found and just totally fell in love with it.  It is so easy to use and the directions are great.

Added Stamp Storage

I love my new stamp storage but found that as I was transferring my stamps over to this new method I was running out of the pockets and the store did not get anymore in. So I came up with this new method.  Now off to the store to buy more.

2012 Christmas Cards 4-6

Wanted to share with you a few more cards that I completed for this year.  I am having so much fun making these cards with the simple backgrounds.  You don't have to use a stamped colored image on the front, it could be a diecut or a sticker.  Just have fun at it.

2012 Christmas Card #3

This is another in my series of simple Christmas cards that I made for 2012.  It is a 5 1/2" square card.  I colored the Magnolia stamped image with Copic markers.  I used a Inkadinkado stamp to create the tree background,  these stamps are wonderful to create easy backgrounds.  I love how you can take these stamps and a little imagination to make a great background.

New Copic Marker Storage Bag

Wanted to share with you my new Copic Marker Storage bag.  It the a bag that is used to transport a CPAP medical equipment.  I found the bag online then called our local medical supply store and and found it there.  Very simular to the Copic Carry Case (mine is a little smaller), but no way close in price.  I so love my bag and it worked out great to carry my markers when going to different appointments.  I even used the case (closed) to do my coloring on.

Anniversary Card
