Project 12×12: Copics for Scrapbookers

Over the last few years a COPIC CRAZE has been mounting–everyone loves them, has to have them, needs to buy them but then after you spent $100 on 3 markers (okay, they are not THAT expensive but you get where I am going) they sit on your shelf and collect dust. Or you might be the person who turns and runs when someone says “Copic” because you just don't wanna know because you might want to buy them after you see all the wonderful things they can do.

As a Copic Certified Designer myself, I can tell you that they are the most wonderful makers EVER for coloring in stamped images…but I always tell people I am not a stamper. This has led me to explore with Copics, asking, “How can they be used for scrabooking?” This month's Project 12×12 class is all about ways to use Copic markers in your scrapbooking. I'll also share tips on how to choose colors and how many you should choose depending on what kind of scrapbooker you are as well as ways you can use them to customize just about anything.
