"Copic Boot Camp Miracle!"

Miracle's can happen.  I have just returned from Phoenix, AZ after attending a three day Copic Boot Camp taught by the fabulous Jennifer Dove.  She and all of her assistants were just fantastic giving this class.  The photo below is my version of Jennifer's original boot image.  I hated it while I was coloring and for the first few hours afterward (when I dared to look).  Now, it's growing on me more and more, little by little.  There may still be hope for me and Copics.  If you ever get the chance to check out Jennifer's blog Just4FunCrafts.blogspot.com , please do and you can tell Jenn "Gramma" sent you.  She knows me pretty well.  Hope all of you have a wonderful day and a better day tomorrow.  Enjoy my work.
Hugz,
Gramma

    Don't be jealous... it was extremely hard to do... thus "boot camp." Thank you for your sweet comments too! Now if I could just manage to get a CAS card out that I love as much as yours.

    I have not colored since we were there.I have pulled out my boots several times and still can't believe we had to color those darn things! You did a AWESOME job! They were the hardest thing to color. Hope you are staying warm, we have been a little chilly here in AZ. Looking forward to seeing you next year at the "Boot Camp". Happy Holidays

    Woohoo to you for finishing those darn boots. I had the same feeling about mine at camp. I just did not like it and could not see the shine. Now, that I am home, I am liking it more and more but I am too intimidated by it to take on that second darn boot.

    Wondering if you have the snow like we do in Michigan. It's certainly going to be a white holiday for us.

    Happy Thanksgiving!
