What I learned ---

First off before class the three of us - Lisa, Pat and I - hit Michaels, A C Moore and Hobby Lobby in Greensboro had a quick lunch at Panera Bread and then headed over to class at www.thescrapbookingroom.com .

I guess the biggest thing I learned was to use the correct ink to stamp your main image and the correct paper. Memento Ink can be used and then colored immediately. Neenah Classic Crest-Solar White is the top choice. Other inks can be used and other papers can be used but Stampin' Up! does not work for these. There are two great webistes to visit:
www.copicmarker.com
www.ilikemarkers.blogspot.com

You always want to start with your lightest color. I am not going to go into full details you probably should visit Marianne at ilikemarkers for details. I will tell you that I have a LOT of practicing to do before I even show you anything. I have a total of 12 Sketch markers now but will be getting more. I look forward to being able to incorporate these into my scrapbooking - yes you can use them - you just have to make sure they are totally dry before putting on your pages.

I can't wait to see. I just ordered a bunch of Twinks. So sad to see them go.
