Well yesterday Jen & I went to a Copics Class at a scrapbook store in Rhinelander. It was a fun class where we made a few cards using the Copics and got to take 5 home with us. I will post some pictures of the cards I made tho truthfully I'm not sure it is up my alley. I didn't feel that the point was fine enough to get into small spaces and felt like I was coloring out of the lines. I guess it will be something that I will have to play with more to see if it is worth the investment. I do like that they blend nicely and you don't see your lines and also that they are refillable. So what do you think?
I am starting to feel better so this morning I did a HUGE project. During the winter a fellow Fiskateer Betsy gave me a paper rack. So yesterday I washed it and spray painted it and today I loaded up all the Fiskar lines of paper & embellishments into it. I put them in some neat Heidi Grace file folders so that everything I had in that line would be together. Imagine my shock when I realized that I had 43 different lines! and that does not include the Christmas stuff which I put into a file box since I wouldn't be using it on a daily basis. Here's a picture of the finished project. I don't think I ever have to worry about a paper shortage at my house.

Looks like you can work for a while. I loved the cards, but really appreciated your point of view of the copics before I purchase them. Hope you are feeling better!
Beautiful cards.....I don't think you'll ever run out of paper either....lol. That's a neat idea. Hope you feel better soon....we are so out of touch with things.
Your cards look great!
Great cards. I have a few Copics I bought on ebay but havent figured out how to use them too well. I should take a class. That is an awesome paper rack for storage. I wish I had room for something like that.
Hey Weze' What a lovely bunch of papers you have!
I love copics. But I only have 3. You might want to try Copics Sketch markers. There are 3 or 4 different kinds, with different tips. I'm sure you'll find the one that's right for you. They're so expensive, you need to get it right the first time! lol
The Rack looks great Louise....(I like the cards too!)
Beautiful card, bet that was a fun class! I know the feeling about tons of paper. Awesome rack, lookin' good!
Lucky you! I love Copics but unfortunately I have to teach myself as we have no local LSS doing classes. I have found that the main thing is PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. I have noticed an improvement in my coloring skills & love the Copics.
