first post...hello!

[TwilightFairyDust]

Hello! I've been surfing through SCS for a while and finally got the courage to post. I've always made fun of my husband about following forums, but I think I've been sucked in!

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Emily from California I've just started getting into stamping and crafting for a few months now and have fallen in love with a new hobby! I've always had a love for art and did mostly colorpencil drawings in the past, BUT I have recently discovered copic markers...which is now my new addiction! Hehehehe....

Looking forward to meeting new people and joining swaps and challenges. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Anybody know where I can find tutorials for copic marker techniques?

start checking out the threads that chitter chat about copics and you'll find some great links to blogs and youtube is a great place to look too.

BTW I'm in the Bay Area, are you near there?
