FAQ: Markers

Number two most asked question I am asked is

Q: "What kind of markers do I use to doodle with??"

A: You do not think I am going to have a real simple answer, now do you? That would be way to easy, and because I am so dang "Simply Complicated"...well, anyway, the markers I use those "most" are the Prismacolor Art Markers.

Don't ask me any "scientific" questions about the ink, the alcohol, the hues..stuff like that..because I do not know.  What I do know is that I love the way to work on canvas (although, in the photo, THE NEW Pete (hint hint) seems to have a little bit of a dirty face..that is okay, I still love him)

and I love the way they color on manila tags

and my favorite colors, especially at this time of the year are : Crimson Red, Muted Turquoise, Cinnamon Toast, Goldenrod, Dark Olive Green and Light Olive Green...and sometimes a splash of Light Aqua (the color in the background of THE NEW trees)

and I get them here (just Click on the Blick...and on the home page, click Markers...and have fun!)

 

 

did I mention there are new pumpkins, too???

True Scrap 2011 Recap

 
Pete and I had a great weekend....

True Scrap was an inspirational success and regardless of my "Homegrown Video" I left with a smile, some good ol' Ali Edwards "I am going to start scrapbooking" feelings, a reminder of love and happiness for what I get to do for a living and a very proud feeling for one of my best creative friend's Lain.

Well done friend...now rest for a day! 

Now, YOU can still purchase the class..and the videos, blah blah blah and watch it all at home, in your jammies...rain or shine.  Just click on the TRUE SCRAP ad over on the right.....

Of course, just like anything else on the internet, it had its glitches...but all was well and I am hoping to be invited back for True Scrap 2012 (hint hint). I mentioned during the live chat that we should take it on the road in a big bus...

hey, who knows..let a girl dream.

Lain and I have had our share of fun times...on land and at sea...so who knows, maybe True Scrap will hit the high seas...board a ship..film a reality show for Brave...wouldn't that be fun! Just thinking out-loud...and remembering good times!

Happy Sunday!!!
