Copic Certification in Australia

Me & Marianne, looks like Marianne is still a little jet lagged

I'm a little late posting my exciting news, last Thursday I was one of the lucky one's to take part in the very first Copic Certification Course in Australia with the Copic gurus of the world, Marianne Walker & Lori Craig. XPress GraphX - Copic Australia flew the girls all the way from the USA to run two Certification training sessions, one in Sydney on May 6 and the other in Melbourne May 8. They are only here for a very short time, and will be training our very own Debra James as a Regional Trainer for Western Australia & some other Ladies for other parts of Australia to run all future Certification Training in Australia.

Marianne Walker (I Like Markers), Jonny (XPress GraphX) and Lori Craig (Splitcoast Stampers) 

The other highlight of my day was to meet the gorgeous Kylie a fellow Design Team member for Tickled Pink Stamps, her creations are amazing and Sammi from Mad for Markers, a Copic on-line store,  in person today! Thanks Kylie and Sammi, you made my day so much fun and even more special.

I thought I would share a few photos of the day, apologies for the quality & I certainly wasn't looking my best with only 4 hours sleep, it was a huge day after my early start getting up 4.30am , but anyways the photos are a bit fun.

Sammi, Kylie & Me

 Marianne, why not colour your hair with Copics!!!!!!!!!

Marianne is so talented, a little crazy, which made for a very fun day.

Happy Mothers Day - MDUC

Happy Sunday Stampers,

(photo take 2 - I changed the ribbon, I decided it was too much red and needed something softer.)

It's Mothers Day in Australia today. For all you Mother's out there, wishing a very special day.

It is also time for another Magnolia Down Under Challenge and this week it is PAPER TOLE.

I enjoyed this challenge, as most of my cards are paper toled, maybe not in the true sense, but I always like to add some extra layers for dimension & to give a little life to my cards.

I made this Easel card for my Mum, as a lot of you know she has not been well, but everyday she is a lot stronger.

The gorgeous papers are October Afternoon's Fly a Kite from Delish Papercrafting. This is my very first Magnolia stamp purchased Sommar Tilda med with Hat from the Shabby Chic Summer 2009 Collection, I still love her, she was feeling a little neglected,  so I thought I would show her some love. I also used another Magnolia Stamp -  Love Heart sentiment - Love Collection 2009 - Mothers hold our hands for a while sentiment - Stampendous, Doily from Tickled Pink Stamps. Machine stitching.

Copic Colours, Skin E11, E000, E00, Hair E30, E31, E25, Red's R000, R20, R22, R24, R27, Green G21 & G28.

I hope you are inspired to join us this week & hope you will check out all of the inspiration from my amazing team members gorgeous creations.
