Here is my first attempt at coloring with Copic markers!! I love them! They are so easy to use and provide such a great look! This is a stamp from a very cute line by My Favorite Things.
Yesterday I went to Jane's house where we stamped all day! Tomorrow I will post the work Jane did. It is a total masterpiece! I am so impressed with it! If I saw it at a store I would buy it! It is a two page spread she did for Marilyn Healey's Alphabetica journal. Jane and I had a blast stamping, listening to music, and eating hummus! Our new craving!
Above is another of my new cards using the Copic markers. Stamp is by B-Line Design and the plain white card is from Fabriano. (sorry for the crooked scan, but after two attempts I gave up at straightness!)
The rest are cards I made with Jane. That was Saturday. Friday night Mike and I went out for dinner at a great Mexican restaurant! (Kim and Julie...it was the one we all went to when you were here!)
Friday night on the way home I had to stop at the post office to mail something for work. But that is not the perfect part, the perfect part is I got some of the new Star Wars stamps! Very cool, I am.
Today was perfect because the weather was beautiful. I took a long nap. We ate Taco Bell for dinner. We also saw a great movie. Knocked Up is the title. I think the title of the movie is crass, but the movie itself was hilarious!!! and very sweet!!! I highly recommend it.
Now, to cap off a perfect weekend, I am home, getting ready to read my good book, watch some TV with Mike, and go to sleep. And the real capper is that I don't mind going to work tomorrow. It is great to have a job I enjoy going to! It makes Sunday nights more bearable. 
The card above is actually from the stamping session I had with Trish a few weeks ago. I thought I was pretty brilliant to use the waste portion of the circle punch on the card. Brainiac!
Okay, this scan is bad, but I love this stamp of Jane's (more B-Line Design). You probably noticed that on all the cards I used the Copic Markers on there are only four colors. That is because the markers are expensive (about $5 each) so I only bought four to start with. I really want to get several more!!!

What a perfect recap!! I had sooo much fun!! I just LOVE all the cards you created! Now I want Copic markers too!!!
Hi Laura!!! I don't know how much time you spend on SCS anymore, but there are many threads over there regarding the Copics. They are fast becoming popular with stampers (you can see why ~ they're FAB!). My good friend Kathy is the artist for Whipper Snapper stamps, & the Copic QUEEN. She teaches classes on how to use them ~~ you should check out her SCS gallery. Her name is Colorin' Kate ~ you'll be amazed ~ tell her I "sent" you, hehe!!!
Sounds like a great weekend you had!! Those are some great cards, & thank YOU very much for the wonderful comment you posted on my RIW card!!!! Yes, I must have that set!! Hugs!!

I'm so jealous that I wasn't there to have fun with both of you....when are you heading up north to see me and play ???? No invitations needed...you're always welcome !!!!....plus I need to know more about those markers !!!
I love all of these!!! Happiness is my favorite, favorite!
I can't wait to see Knocked Up (I love that guys voice...I only know him as Ken from Freaks and Geeks/or that guy from 40 yov.) Anyway, it looks like a good one to see at the drive-in. Glad to hear it was as funny as it looks.
Happy you had a perfect weekend and hope your week is just as good.
I love the stamps and the markers too! The cards turned out so cute too! Great job!
God bless!

Sounds like a great weekend! :)
I never even heard or Copic markers! You must share your secrets. I see you used the images from my new "create a collage sheet" program. Yippee! We will get together sometime soon as I have more images to boot! Great art, great fun.
I have never seen stamps like yours! Love your cards!
What copic markers? Are they like a paint brush, do you use them on velum or that clear thin paper?
I see that you love Mexican! I love Taco Bell. All I get is a bean burrito, every time , oh and a soda! I have to stop!
hugs,
Mary
Oh mi god, what a feast for the eyes, Laura! I love the look of those Copic markets, excellent! You've done some really fabulous work!
I have heard so much about "Knocked Up", the main guy is Canadian so, ofcourse, everyone is talking about him here. Perhaps I'll go see it one of these days.
Oh, they are all wonderful. They make my eyes happy. How does it work? Do you color with those markers? I'm still waiting for a post that explains this whole stamping world for me. :<) and I loved Knocked Up. Just saw it last night.
