I am only new to copic colouring but am absolutely loving the effect they give an image...they are very addictive I want all the colours now hehe. I am so thrilled to be on the Mad for markers design team, and cant wait to get started and show you my creations.
Thanks Sammi girl for having me on the DT.

Hi, I am Kylie and I am a stay at home Mummy to 2 little boys. I entered the world of paper craft in June 2008 with scrap booking and stamping but didn’t start colouring images until September 2009 when I acquired my first Magnolia stamps - I was addicted! It was then that my quest to colour with Copics began and in February 2010 I was set with my first 30 markers. Now I can’t stop colouring and will grab every opportunity to sit at my craft desk bringing these gorgeous 2D images to life with colour. I am amazed at the fantastic blogging world that I have entered and the wonderful craft community I have discovered. I am so proud and excited to be a part of the Mad for Markers DT and look forward to sharing my love of Copics and making new friends along the way.

Hi, my name is Sue Ashton, and I live in West Australia, with my DH Rick. We have 9 children between us (none at home think goodness....sorry kids x), and, an ever changing number of grand-children! I work, but spend as much time as I can in 'my room', creating my cards an blogging. I started scrapbooking 5-6 yrs ago then progressed to Cards, then I fell in love with Copic's, and of course cards an Copic's are a match made in heaven! When Sammi asked me to be a part of the 'Mad for Markers' Design Team, I was thrilled. I can't wait to work with the talented Sammi and the rest of the Design Team to pass on to every-one our love of Copic's.
