IT'S TWINKLING TUESDAY AND I AM CERTIFIED!!!!

Can I get a HUGE WOOHOO??!! As I had said in the title, I am CERTIFIED!!! YAY!! Copic Certified that is!!! I feel like I haven't visited with you all for awhile!!! HOpe you all are well!! I had to get stuff ready for my trip to Maryland, this past weekend. You know, the whole what I need to take and what needs to be ready for everyone, while I am gone?? Yepper!!! It took me a bit! See....this was the first time I have been away, since I had the twins!! YAY me!! Right?? No....but....seriously!! What an AWESOME group of ladies!!! By group I would HAVE to include everyone involved!! From Patti, the WONDERFUL shop owner, to Sally Lynn, our instructor!! All the ladies who make up The Queen's Ink family and all the LOVELY fellow Copic students!! You ALL were PHENOM and I thank you!!! It was FANTASTIC to spend my Sunday with you!!! I will have to elaborate on my class next time though, sorry!!! You know I tend to get a bit carried away!! Haha!! It is late, after all!!! Well...it's late here anyway!!! Well.....I am doing this Monday night, for a change!! Just had to give you a little bit of info, while I was here tonight!!!
Of course tomorrow is Madelynn's Twinkling Tuesday!!! What FUN!!! HUH??!!! This week's challenge is to use a stamp that you have gotten and NEVER inked up!!! You know how we all are!! We just HAD to have it??? And........There it sits!!! In a drawer or on a shelf, but, it is LONELY none the less!!! So.......Bring that poor neglected stamp out!!! Go ahead.....ink it up!!!!
Make sure you share your creations with us!! We LOVE to see them!!! When you load them to your gallery or even your blog? Label your BEAUTIFUL project with MTTSC17, so we can find it!! And...don't forget to check out my fellow TWINKLETTES!!! You know they will have some SWEET eye candy for you!!
Ok...MY here is my take on this challenge! I used some of the techniques I learned, from the AWESOME Sally Lynn, on Sunday!!! I will continue to practice, but, do hope you like it!! This is also the FIRST card, I have made, using predominantly COPICS!!! The ONLY Prisma marker I used, was for the little doggy!! Alright, I will give you 1....ok maybe 2 ....tips I learned. Make sure to stay tuned for more tidbits too!!! Did you know........that you can use your Copic markers to color ribbon???? Heck yeah!!!! I LOVE it!!! And......did you also know......you can use your SAME Copic to color your brads to match??? Did ya?? Well?? Did ya??? All I can say is.....YES YOU CAN!!! Have at it!! You know me and the whole matchy, matchy thing!!! How psyched was I to learn this?? You can only imagine, right?? Haha!!! Thanks again for stopping by ladies!! I appreciate you taking the time to visit!! Let me know what you think of my creation!! I LOVE to hear from you!!
I will also leave you with some pics, from my class at The Queen's Ink!! If you have the chance, you NEED to visit there!!! Hey...why not a road trip!!! Have a TWINKLING TUESDAY all!!! ENJOY LIFE!!!

Jacquie!! This is so funny that you should use this MFT set for this challenge because this is the only other set I have that I've had success on! LOL You can really tell that you learnt a few things in that class. Your shading is great! I'd LOVE to take a copic class....if I owned more than 12 copics! LOL

Heather Schlatter said...

Jacquie,

You always make me smile when I read your posts!!! You are so happy and upbeat and so positive and excited!!!! That alone despite the brown blog will keep me coming back and coming back!!!

I so so so so love the card you sent me and I will have to keep it forever since it was one of your last non certified Copic Girl cards!!!

Although the coloring on it makes me think you are certified!!!

Jacquie you are such an amazing person and I so enjoy everything that you do!!!

Thank you Thank you, Thank you for the awesome birthday gift and card!!!

Congrats on the Certification too!!!

YaY you!!!
