it has that fruity floral with notes of cucumber flower, mandarin, freesia, jasmine, water lily, gardenia, crème brûlée accord, cedarwood, sandalwood, vanilla and whipped marshmallow.

my costume even included a headband with ears & even the the red shirt.  i won an award for my costume and was so happy!! 

another memory was, i don't know why, but my favorite book to check out from the library was Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory!  to this day, it's a classic movie for me, the ORIGINAL one, not the Johnny Depp one.  i absolutely LOVED that book!  i can't even count the number of times i checked it out (days wayyyyy before Kindle! *hehe*)

Inspiration Wednesday. In LOVE with Copic!!

this past weekend at the Red Carpet Scrapbook Convention here in Mobile, AL, i had the

wonderful pleasure to meet a licensed Copic instructor, Debra Dunn!

instant connection & she is such a sweetheart!!!

small world too that she is from my nearby hometown of Huntsville, AL.

well, i squeezed in between my class a quicky quick demo to play with them & the different nibs thanks to Debra, a sales rep for Copic & Advantus.

anyhoo, i was quite perplexed with all the rage in how wonderful & above they are over other markers.

to my amazement...i'm HOOKED & must start my stash of colors & marker tips that range from Sketch, Copic, Ciao, Wide and plus these markers are re-fillable plus the possibility to blend & shade with them!

these are FAR ABOVEEEEE your Crayola, Sharpie, etc...they are bright, vivid, true pigment,

plus, you can even airbrush with Copic!! :)

i've always had a huge fascination with Japanese comic books and to know

these markers originated in Japan and are used by art illustrators & Manga artists, i was even MORE hooked because of my love to draw!

i'm imagining all the options to explore in my projects with these & more so because they will go perfectly with my addiction of stamps, right?!!! :)

oh, what a beautiful combo!!

check out these cool samples using Copic...
