There will be multiple COPIC classes offered during June and July at Wiggles & Giggles. There has been a date change due to a delay as to when the product will be available. We wanted to make sure that there was enough time to get in enough product for the class. If any of the below dates do not work for you, please feel free to let Wiggles & Giggles or me know if you are interested and we can work on scheduling another set of classes.
COPIC Markers 101:
Learn the necessary basic information needed for COPIC markers. Begin practicing and learning about blending techniques. As part of this class, you will get three markers to use during class and take home with you. This is value of over $19 in product.

Thursday: 6/10 @ 6pm or Sunday: 6/13 @ 11:30am.
COPIC Markers 102: Learn about and practice additional blending techniques. As part of this second class, you will get three markers to use during class and take home with you.

Update on Upcoming Classes
Do you like Memory Box products? Join me on Wednesday, 4/7 at The Inspiration Station for my two page layout and two cards using gorgeous Memory Box papers and stamps! If you cannot make it to class, then I would be happy to put together a kit for you. If you are interested, please be sure to call the store by 5pm tomorrow (Tuesday - 4/6) so I have enough time to prepare for the following nights class...plus the store is closed during the day on Wednesday. If you would like a kit, please be sure to provide your email address as well when you call.
If you are interested in embossing then please join me on Sunday, April 11th at Wiggles and Giggles. We will be making 4 cards using brass stencils as well as embossing folders. You will even get a brass stencil to take home with you.
So, bad news...the Melissa Frances product that I was relying on for my Mother's Day albums are delayed until June now. I have been trying to scramble to see if I can use some product from my "stash" or find another product line that I could even get in time to make a sample for these classes, but time is running out. I will know more by the end of this week and post an update this weekend.
I have scheduled my first COPIC Marker 101 class at Wiggles and Giggles. It will be held on Saturday, May 8th from 1:30 - 3:00. You will be getting 3 markers included as part of each class! It will be a great way to learn about and play with these great markers. We will be having a COPIC Marker 102 class as well...and if people are interested in continuing and making a COPIC Marker Club that would meet monthly then we will do this as well... More COPIC Class information to come - Check back for updates!
I hope you are all finding time to be creative. Unfortunately, I have been way too busy with my full time job these past couple of weeks that it has knocked my "playtime" down to nothing...however, I do have a playdate scheduled for tomorrow night...looking forward to it. I hope those creative juices will be flowing :-)

Copic Marker Certified
Yesterday, I obtained my Copic Marker Certification in Long Island, NY and I am really excited to be able to pass along the knowledge that I received in some upcoming classes (to be announced soon). I had been going back and forth about which class to take; Long Island in March or Maine in May. However, since I wanted to become certified as soon as I could, I picked Long Island.
After running early Saturday morning then hanging out at Panera, I ventured out for my drive to Long Island. It was a gorgeous day thank goodness because I knew I was going to be tired because I usually nap on the Saturdays that I run :-). I did not enjoy the drive. Lots of traffic, I was tired and just not a fun ride.
When I arrived at the hotel, there weren't any rooms that were available yet, so I had some lunch. I decided not to take a nap because I figured I would just go to bed early so I would be well rested for the class on Sunday. I think I feel asleep around 8:30/9:00 which was great until some teenage girls team from Atlantic City staying in the rooms surrounding mine and down the hall, woke me up. Around 10pm they decided to keep going in and out of each others rooms. All I heard were doors closing/slamming and loud talking in the hall almost constantly for the next 30 minutes until I asked them nicely to please stop...so now I was up until about 11:30/midnight. So, I guess I did get my nap in after all :-).
Early the next morning when I woke up to slamming doors again and one of the coaches or chaperones yelling in the hall that they all needed to be together for breakfast because they only had one voucher for everyone, I was just slightly annoyed...but I was excited about the class. I knew I was going to be tired from not sleeping well and being in class for 7 hours so I was not looking forward to my 3+ hour drive home. So, I booked the ferry back to CT and that was the BEST decision ever...what a nicer way to travel and wouldn't do it any other way if I ever go to Long Island again.
After all that, I did enjoy the class. I always enjoy meeting new people that share my obsession with paper crafting...really enjoyed the markers we got with class and while I said that I would never get the air compressor...well...I just might.

Just a few notes...
I just wanted to say thank you again to all you ladies that came out on that lovely WET evening for my first layout class at Wiggles and Giggles. At least it was rain and not snow! It was great to see some familar faces from classes that I have taught at The Inspiration Station as well as having the opportunity to meet some great new people. I hope to see you all again soon. I know there were some people that tried to get into the class but couldn't due to it being sold out. I hope to meet you soon in another class of mine.
I will be getting my COPIC marker certification near the end of March. Another goal that can be checked off on my 2010 Creative Goals list...yeah!!! I am really looking forward to playing some more with what I call the "adult crayons". Just like pattern paper there are so many different colors to choose from! I can remember going back to school for the first day and seeing the new box of crayons on my desk and each one was perfectly pointed...ahhhh - I loved that! I am hoping to be able to add some type of COPIC class to my teaching schedule shortly after my certification. Ever since I started playing with the COPIC markers, I have been looking at rubber stamps in a different way. Now I also look for the ones that I can color in...and it's so much fun!
Speaking of those kinds of stamps...be sure to check out The Inspiration Station's new stamps that just came in...Stampavie (http://www.stampavie.com/) and Inky Antics(http://cre8tivemom.blogspot.com/2010/02/easter-stamps-arriving.html?) ... OMG!!!! I love them! Here is a birthday card that I made using one of the new turtle Inky Antic sets for my sweet grandmother that turned 90 yesterday! Be sure to check out their new stamps...they are so great! I feel like a little kid again. What a great feeling :-)
As for some samples for some upcoming classes...I am sort of in limbo just waiting for the product to come in. I will be using the following papers in some upcoming classes:
As for the rest of my 2010 Creative Goals...out of six goals, I have two remaining:
Hope you all have a great day!
