A fun new year has begun…

I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday season.  I know that my family and I sure did. 
But now that the gloomy month of January has started
I am so glad that I have new toys to play with.

Like these…

Yep that’s right, Kendall and Chuck bought me a set of 12 Copic markers for Christmas. I was so excited.
I spent the Monday after Christmas figuring out what other colors that I needed to fill my in little set.
And the nice thing is that my parents sent me money for Christmas and so I spent it on these…

24 more Copic markers along with this ink pad that is suppose to be the best to use with the markers.

And yeah Friday my new pens came in the mail, just in time for a long weekend.
So Sunday I spent the day in the Scrap Studio playing with my new pens and watching Youtube videos on how to use them.  I love them and after watching a few videos, here is my practice sheet.

And this little guy came out so good.

I have a lot more practice to do before I am as good as some of the projects that I’ve seen using these pens but that’s what make it fun and I have the whole gloomy month of January to play with them.

Oh and here is my Copic pens chart.  I downloaded it off the internet so that I could keep track of the pens that I have and still need to buy.

I am glad that my Birthday is in Feb. Smile

Thanks for stopping by…
