Copics anyone???? Look what Marianne at Copic Markers gave me to share!
I'm Baaaaaack! Oh baby..... I cannot even tell you how much fun I had with Marianne. I had to keep reminding myself to close my mouth. AMAZING. I would have paid SO much more for that class. I am going to be a Marianne groupie. If you are anywhere near Medford, OR this coming Friday (April 18th), you are CRAZY if you don't sign up and get Copic Certified. This class and Copic markers WILL BLOW YOUR MIND. I was gasping out loud. GASPING! I love Marianne and Copic Markers!!!! I had SO much fun!! I can't wait to share with you all the cool things these markers can do!
As soon as I arrived, I received three hugs from Marianne.... so thanks girls!! Marianne did indeed give me your hugs!! I got to meet stampers that are in some of my stamp groups... it was SO fun to put names to faces. I wish we could have hung out longer! Everyone was as excited as me.... so can you imagine? We all wanted to just bottle up Marianne and take her home (her AND her Copics).
If you leave a comment (I love easy recipes *wink*) , I'll have random.org choose a winner on Friday! Candy includes 1 Copic Wide Y15 (yellow), 2 Copics G14, G16 (Apple Green & Malachite), 2 Copic Sketch B21 & B23 (Baby Blue & Phthalo), 2 Copic Ciao E93 & E95 (Tea Rose & Flesh Pink), 1 Twinkling Like Stars Spica Glitter Pen and 1 Wine Copic Multiliner all in the little Copic Bag to go!
I have SO much to catch up on today, but hopefully this evening I can put together some of the images I colored this weekend. See ya soon... thanks for stopping by!

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 486 of 486#402 I love Copics I just havent taken the time to learn how to use them. Great give away! thanks for the chance to win!
Glad you had a great time!! I met a lady at the local Hobby Lobby recently who was going to be doing a Copic Certification class. Wonder if it would have been your Marianne? I don't know how many people COPIC has that teach these classes. This lady was very nice and explained lots to me. She was very helpful even though I was not able to make a purchase that day. I would sure love too. Maybe I can win my first ones, and build on them from there. I need to be able to prove to myself I will use them before I start another "collection".

WOW! this looks like fabulous candy! I would love to have these and give them a try :)
Very cute card!! These are fabulous super easy cookies. They don't last long in my house!
Sugar Cookies
4 C flour
1 t baking powder
1 C butter
1 heaping C Sugar
2 eggs beaten
1 t soda
¼ Cup milk
½ t salt
1 t vanilla
Sift flour, baking powder and salt; cut in butter with a pastry blender as for a pie.
In another bowl, add the soda to the sugar and when well mixed add to eggs, milk and vanilla. Now pour this into the flour mixture and mix until smooth. Roll out and cut with cookie cutter. Bake at 350 until lightly browned. Approx 10 minutes. This is a very easy dough to roll.
No time to cook! I am too busy stamping! I would love to own some copics! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Who wouldn't just FALL in LOVE with this Copic Candy. Don't have a single Copic Marker-but would love to be the one to receive these. Thanks for sharing. Kadie

love your blog. I have read alot about copics but not had the guts to try them out for fear of messing up.
Hugs

Thanks for this chance to win!
A fav recipe of the family is Apricot Chicken.
Place chicken pieces (with or without bones) in an ovenproof dish.
Sprinkle with french onion soup powder.
Pour apricot nectar over so that liquid just covers the meat. (Apricot halves can also be added but I have a DH who isn't so keen on this addition.)
Cook in a moderate oven for approx 1 hour. [Alternatively this can be cooked in the microwave.]
I would love to take that class. Maybe someone in my area will start a Copic Certified class. I don't have copics as yet but definitely on my wish list. Save my cabbage!!
Thank you for letting us know how cool this class is! I soooo want to be in it!!
Copics... woo hoo! Someone is very lucky! I cannot lie... I can't cook and sometimes use your blog for recipies... haha!
glad he class was a great success :)
I would so love to learn how to color with copic markers. Please pick me to win.
I absolutely love your blog and your enthusiasm is inspiring!!!
from: ilovem&ms
I have been talking myself out of these for weeks. Seems like there are so many , where do I begin.
Your blog is fantastic and I would be thrilled if I win those markers!
Good luck to me and thanks to you for posting. Beth R.
Thanks for sharing your talent. What a great prize!
Please continue to share pointers about the Copic markers. You've inspired me try "coloring" the Copic way.
oh yes, i really need another addiction!! i am so glad you had such a great time. very good. hmmm.. recipies? easy?
- chop up some chicken (white or dark)
- marinate in teriyaki sauce marinade for about an hour
- chop up onion, red/green/yellow bell peppers, carrots, brocchli, and any other veggie you want ( i like cabbage too!)
- get a pot of rice going
- heat up a heavy sauce pan with just enough oil (preferable peanut, but veggie or canola is just fine) to coat the pan
- season with salt/peper/ginger to taste, then cook the chicken, marinade juice and all
- remove from pan to a plate when almost done
- in same pan, cook veggies for about 10min or desired doneness; add salt/pepper to taste
- then add the chicken back to the pan and cover to steam. add more teryaki sauce if you like and let it all steam and get happy!
viola! serve over rice or noodles. enjoy!
angela :)
You lucky girl. Sounds like a great class! Thanks for the chance at the Copic goodies. Looking forward to the magic you'll create with them.
Here's an easy recipe:
Salt and pepper a shoulder roast. Cut slits every 2 inches and add some minced garlic (bottled is just fine). Put in crock-pot. Mix 2 T Worchestershire, 3 T balsamic vinegar, 4 T soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of dry mustard and pour over roast. Cook 8 hours on low.
OMGosh Sistah! I am the 421th Comment! That shows you how much we luv you & your work!!! Thanks for this opportunity to own some of my very own Copics!!!!!!!!
Marianne was TOTALLY rockin' the house. Let's coin a new term for her. "SPOKESTEACHER". What do you think? :)
So glad to have met you! Hope we can play together sometime.
Love using copics! Now if I can only use them correctly!
Are Copics hard to use? Why do you need lessons? Are they a lot different to use than Marvys or Tombows? Must admit that some of the work I see with them is beeaauuttttifffulll or should I say you bewty.
Recipe - quick appetizer
Flat bread (tortilla, lavash, etc)
Spread with sweet chilli sauce
sprinkle with cheddar
Bake in Toaster oven about 10-12 minutes.
Slightly cool and cut into bite size pieces.

Carrie C.
The more I see Copics, the more I WANT Copics! *sigh* I sure hope I'm "randomly lucky"!
I'm SO jealous! I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to have had a chance to become copic certified, but alas, work and life get in the way :-)
WOW! Sounds like you learned alot of great stuff and what a great little goodie pack!
What a great give-away! Thanks to you and to Marianne for your generosity.
I'm just getting started with my Copics and there is definitely a learning curve. You are so lucky to have had this opportunity to learn from the "pros". Thanks for sharing your new-found knowledge and skills!
Kathy McDonald, Seattle
It is funny how your excitement comes across in print. Copics are flooding the scrapping/stamping world and MY GOSH how I don't want to be left behind. Crossing my fingers for Friday!!
I'm enjoying the tutorials with the copics....I haven't bought any yet but boy would I like to have some.
My no fail dinner recipe that's sooooo easy....
Turkey cutlets, fresh rosemary, 2 jars of fat free turkey gravy, fettucine noodles. Brown the turkey cutlets on both sides in a little olive oil on medium heat. Season to taste, salt pepper garlic. Add the turkey gravy and simmer until heated through when the turkey is no longer pink. At the same time, cook pasta by package instructions, drain. Add fresh rosemary to the turkey/gravy mixture. Serve turkey/gravy over the pasta. Add a salad and some fruit and you have an easy meal!
Just found your blog. Thanks for all the information on the Copics. I have few Copics but have been scared to use them. You have inspired me to try them. You want recipes? For food? I have one for Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies. If you are interested let me know.
It's very exciting for us to see what you can do with these amazing markers!! You make it look so easy and beautiful!! Thanks for giving us all the chance to own a few and take them for a test drive!! LOL!
Cami, sounds like you had a blast. I'm looking forward to all your informative, juicy posts! Thanks for the chance to win some of these fabulous markers!
Wow! The more I see of your creations, the more I HAVE to have some copics to play with! I so hope I win so that I don't have to skimp on my grocery money to buy some copics, rofl!
I've never tried the copics and would love to! What a great give away. Glad you had a good time :)
Oh my goodness...... I can't believe I have a chance to get mhy hands on some of these.
Thanks for sharing your new knowledge. Recipe for yummy, easy, baked chicken. Whole cut up chicken or a whole chicken. Place in a baking dish, sprinkle seasoning salt, salt, pepper, dried rosemary, and fennel over the chicken/pieces. Bake at 350 for about 2 hours, make gravy from the juices. Delish!

Being the SU purist I am I've been debating about Copics... you almost have me convinced. Can't wait to see your creations. Not much of a cook... I'm always stamping!
WOW, WHAT A GREAT CARD! close I'll ever get to a class is what you post on your blog...
Thanks so much for sharing all the things you learned.
Loving all of the Copic marker tips. I'm making notes for when I get some. Thanks for the chance to win some.
Who'd have thought you can be 'certified' for coloring!
I would really love to get my hands on some Copics,, maybe if I win these I will turn into a junkie. I hear so many good things about them, but have been afraid to take the leap. Thanks for sharing.
cindyLouwho2
What fun these copic markers look like! I would love to get some. I placed an order but they were out of stock. I don't even remember where I tried to order!

Hi Cami! Thanks for all the "toots." You make it sound so easy! I KNOW you love recipes, so here is one for you - it's an appetizer, not a meal:
Slow Cooker Reuben Dip- Yum!
INGREDIENTS
1 (16 ounce) jar sauerkraut, drained
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
2 cups shredded cooked corned beef
1/4 cup thousand island dressing
DIRECTIONS
In a slow cooker, combine the sauerkraut, cream cheese, Swiss cheese,
corned beef and thousand island dressing. Cover, and cook on high for
45 minutes if you're in a hurry, low for longer if you're not, or just
until hot and cheese is melted. Stir occasionally while cooking. Serve
with cocktail rye or crackers.
I've loved reading about what you learned- thanks for sharing! thanks to for the copic candy give-away!!

I want to throw in my hat for the copics. I want to play with them really bad. I dont live near where I can try them out :) Dont we all tho?? lol
I have a great cheeseburger casserole I will share with you.
It is easy easy. Brown lean hamburger, then add your choice of flavor (sloppy joe seasoning, taco seasoning, tomato soup, etc..) put it in casserole dish, add cheese on top, then put biscuits on top and bake til they are done. It is fast and easy!
Thanks for sharing your work and the tips on Copics :)
Blessings, Sherri

Awesome blog! :)

I really don't cook that often, my husband does most of the cooking, and when I do cook it usually a big deal so...that said.. I "borrowed" this recipe from the All Recipes website because I am so in the mood for summer and grilling and because I LOVE Texas so here is my recipe:
INGREDIENTS
5 pounds lean ground beef
6 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons hickory seasoning (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups chopped onion
2 cups chopped fresh mushrooms
2 cups chopped cooked ham
3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
DIRECTIONS
Preheat a grill for high heat. When the grill is hot, lightly oil the grate.
In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, hickory seasoning, salt and pepper until well blended. Make 20 balls, and flatten into patties. On one half of the patties, distribute the onions, mushrooms, ham and cheese. Carefully cover the piles with the remaining patties, making sure to seal all of the edges of the patties together tightly and enclose the filling.
Grill the patties for 8 to 10 minutes per side, or until meat is well done, and cheese in the center is melted.
Yummy! And so are those delicious Copic markers! Lucky you! I have a few but they are a little intimidating to me. Thanks for the share!

Mmmmm.... you can cut up onions in there too if you'd like. Delish! NOT AS delish as your blog candy! thanks for the chance to win!
Wow!! I want those markers. Love the card you made!
Here's a good & easy recipe for you -
Graham Cookie Bars
Line a jelly roll pan with aluminium foil and lay your graham crackers on it.
1 stick of margarine
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup sugar
Cook on stove top until a little thick (I do this until it broils for a small amount of time) (remember I cooked this batch, I shared with ya'll, too long).
Pour the mixture over the graham crackers, sprinkle with chopped pecans and bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes only.
Cool completely and then break into pieces.
Enjoy! Sharon

Thanks so much for the "Copic instruction"! I have seen so much about the copics but have never seen any instruction for them. Now that I know more about them, I want them!!
I swear I'm the last person on earth with NO Copics! I look at them, I swoon, I get totally confused and I give up, lol. Thank you for making it all a little bit easier to understand. Your creations are beautiful and congrats on getting certified!!
:-)
Well, I love this chilli recipe, http://southernfood.about.com/od/crockpotchili/r/bl85c7.htm. I also would love to play with copics. Have a great weekend!
Oh My..... like I have a chance to win with all these posts.. but I have to try... I gotta have those markers... I am running my markers dry! Jenniebstampin@aol.com
Oh recipe... duh. well lets see fruit... all sorts, any kind etc.. cut in eatable size pieces and throw in a bowl. If that is not fancy enough add a can of whip cream, cool whip or even yogurt. That sounds simple enough... lol
