Shelley is the mother of two very active boys. Wife to a very sweet (albeit inactive) man. Employee of a large constantly changing corporation.
She loves to scrapbook but is completely addicted to card making especially those made with colored stamped (digital or not) images.

New Changes Coming Your Way!

We have been busy the last few weeks thinking of ways to improve our challenge blog and we have some exciting changes we want to share with you!

First off, starting this Tuesday, we are going to have guest designers! We will choose one guest designer each month to be the guest designer for the next month! The more entries you have the more chances you have to be our guest designer!

Have you noticed we have once again started having a theme? It can be a Copic Marker Color Challenge, A Copic Marker Technique, or a sketch! Who knows what our Design Team will think of next! The Design Team Host will determine what the challenge will be every week to inspire you!

Dec. 22nd will be our last challenge for the year! We are taking the last 2 weeks off in December to enjoy Christmas with our families!

Starting with our Jan 5th challenges, you will now be able to use any image you wish for our challenges! We may still offer you a freebie image to use from our sponsors but you will not be required to use it.

Let us know how you feel about our new changes and any other changes you would like to see!

Happy Creating!
The Copic Buzz Design Team

Challenge 19 Sponsored by Dew Drop Craftz

Good morning everyone, it is Tuesday, and that means another great challenge from Copic Buzz!! This weeks challenge is sponsored by Dew Drop Craftz Digiz which you can take a look at their great digiz here. For this challenge you can use any image you would like, the only rule is that you may not use any patterned paper, simple as that!! Now on to the great samples that our design team has provided for your inspiration.

The first card we have is from Barbara She used this cute little Christmas image with a cozy little mouse waiting for Santa. How great is this? Wouldn't you just love to get this card in your mailbox?

Next we have Annita's card She has this great image of a birthday princess dressed in purple and pink. I bet this was inspired by her own little princess that just had a birthday!!

Next up is Tammy's great card She used this great fall image and jazzed up her card with matching ribbon and beautiful flowers!!

Now for my card
I used this cute little image of a turtle that is feeling under the weather. I made this card for our very own Barb (who started this great group) to make her feel better after she had foot surgery. I even used real tissue coming out of the box, I thought that was extra cute!!!

Well, that's some inspiration for you, I can't wait to see what you make for our challenge. Now for the deets. Please upload your photos with the tag "CBC19" so we can find your entry. Nikki over at Dew Drops is offering some great prizes to the winners, yup, I said winnerS.

Challenge Technique Focus

Hey Gang!! This is Jana. I'm bringing you today's challenge. Let me start by saying... I LOVE MY COPIC MARKERS. Not only for coloring stamped images, but ohhhhhhh so many more possibilities... there in lies my challenge for you...

Along with coloring your image with your fabulous Copic, I challenge you to color your embellishments as well.

I love coloring flowers & ribbon to match my images. I don't always have the exact colored ribbon on hand, but I more than likely have white ribbon or flowers... clear 'skittles' (dew drops), white or clear buttons, charms, etc. Because they are alcohol ink, you can use them on a variety of surfaces. I usually use my airbrush system to color my embellishments, but don't fear, you can do it with just your markers.

Here are a few things I have colored or airbrushed.



Here is a card I've done. I colored the flowers & their centers with my markers. I just use the clear skittles/dew drops.





Enjoy!!!
