Shop Hop at Collective Journey...... Gift Card Make & Take directions

Collective Journey, this is where my Copic Teaching World started. Although I had been teaching card making for well over 10 years, this is where I taught my first Copic Card class and I have never looked back... It was an awesome stepping stone to a great career. I was teaching a make and take at Collective Journey (CJ) on Sunday. Here are a few of my bestest friends and students Debbie & Leslie who joined in the fun. These two have been with me since my very first Copic class....Love you guys! Of course they wanted to meet Bugsie, so this was the day she got to meet all my CJ friends. Leslie has asked me to bring her to all classes so she can babysit... well, we will see.... puppy sitting would cut into her coloring time! lol.

This make and take is amazing easy and allows newbies to experience several different techniques and Copic products. Although the Stamp set by Our Craft Lounge includes a darling leaf in the set, we chose to draw our own to practice using the multi-liner.... great fun. The dots in the background are done using the brush tips of the Copic markers.
