First up, the new S.W.A.L.K images from Crafters Companion are now available!! They are super cute and filled with fun sentiments and accessories with each set.

This card below was created by the super talented Suzanne Dean...

This card uses the adorable "Hugs" set. Don't you just love Suzanne's coloring?
Did you know that Suzanne offers Copic classes? She has online classes available through her Color me Creative Classroom. But now she is also going on the road!! She will be traveling to different cities throughout the US and Canada teaching different Copic techniques! You can view her class schedule here.
I have signed up for the March 5th Beginner class in Port St. Lucie, FL. It's about a 1 1/2 hour drive for me, but it will be well worth it! I have a set of Copic markers, but I'm scared to death to use them!! So I am really looking forward to this class.
If you want to meet up with me, come join in on the class!! I am sure I will have some Wags 'n Whiskers stamps to share (wink)!
