This is my CMC  card I created using an adorable image from Saturated Canary called Zorana.  I get happy just looking at her barefoot little feet  dancing around with her bells ringing!

 I hope you take time to look at the classes Suzanne if offering.  

 She is fun to work with and offers so many wonderful tips, tricks and techniques that make Copics easy and fun. I started taking Copic classes with Suzanne when she first started her on-line classes.  I also attended her Basic and Intermediate/Advanced On The Road classes when she was in San Jose.  She is just one of those very special people that come along once in a lifetime.   She can teach anyone to color beautifully with Copic Markers.   I have learned so much from  her wonderful classes and from serving on her design team !   I am proud to call her "friend".  

Now hop on over to Pat St. Martin to see what she has created today!
