My post at SGD- Fantastic Copic Marker App

*please note I disgustingly have more markers than this now. I has a problem* ;)

I shared over on the SGD store blog today how I keep track of my markers when out shopping. At this point I have all the markers (gulp) and have started my refill collection. When I am out I forget what I need and what I already have and used to frequently by doubles. Then the copic marker app came into my life for smartphones. Oh how I love thee….

I copied my post from the store blog- click here if you want to check it out!

Happy Saturday!

Last night was the 2nd Copic Community Club night and it was loads of fun! I have a headache today from laughing so much! This class is for all skill levels as it is more about getting together and colouring and sharing tips. If you want to join us it is the last Friday of each month!

During the class I shared my Copic app that I used on my smartphone to keep track of what markers I had including refills. Well let me say it caused a lot of excitement so I wanted to reshare it on here today for anyone with a smartphone to use. 

This is NOT through Copic themselves but rather a brilliant husband of a crafter :)

Now on to the Copic Marker App I found online! He even keeps it updated and improving it all the time. I think I kinda love him a little bit hee hee. 


A gentleman whose wife buys copics made an App to help her keep track of what markers she owns so that she doesn't buy duplicates- not that any of us would know what that's like right? It can be used for Iphones or Smartphones. This is genius!!! As I already own all the colours...yes...pretty much...I am going to use it to keep track of my refills as I am slowly building up my collection. 

Thank you Thank you Thank you to whoever this awesome man is!

That's it for me today. Have a great week!

Paper Smooches card I shared over at SGD today!

Here is a card I shared today over at the SGD blog. I have left the product link ups below because I am an enabler hee hee! If you are in the US Sheila does over excellent prices on shipping :)

My love affair with Paper Smooches products goes back for years and when I saw Kim Hughes come out with steel dies I was in heaven! I am getting quite the personal collection and when I saw this label die and the smattering of hellos I had to have them. Had to.

My other current love affair is the Crate paper Love Notes collection which I have used on this card (and many others- seriously addicted). I am also collecting like a mad woman enamel dots. I don't know what it is about these slightly raised colourful bits of enamel that have me all aflutter but it is what it is. I have used 2 of my precious collection on this card from Prima the Optimist collection. I don't see them listed anymore- probably because I bought them all- sorry! Here are some from Doodlebug to give you an idea of what I am talking about. 
I'll try not to buy all these up too before you get there ;)

Happy Crafting!
