Hi everyone!
I have something awesome to share with you today! I finally got my new Copic marker storage! Yippee!
First let me show you what I had been using:
I started using Copic markers about a year ago and my collection was small. At first I started off with just a tin basket and stored them there. It was easy for me to go from room to room and craft where ever I wanted to.
Eventually my collection grew and I started using a Tool TurnAbout from Pampered Chef. This worked for a while until my kids discovered that they loved pulling out a marker and putting it in a different slot all the time! So my markers were never arranged by color family. And eventually, I outgrew this system too as you can see by the box next to it - I stored more markers in there.
Fast forward to last week when I got my Copic Storage from Studio 3 Solutions!
*happy dance* Isn't it just AWESOME? :)
Here, I'll show you another pic:
Yay! I just LOVE it!
I debated on whether or not I should get 4 instead of 3 but I think 3 works for now. I can always add another one later. Yippee! It makes me want to color all the time now!
And since we're looking at my desk, I'll give you a better view...
This was taken last week. Ugh. It's worse today. I really should show you. *lol*
Anyway, I wanted to show a quick tutorial video on how I color since a couple of people have asked me. Here's a video I did on how I color skin. :)
Hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting today! Have a fabulous day!
Awesome! Love that storage unit (my father-in-law built me something similar!) and great video JO!

Aacccccckkkkk!!! Ok, I want these storage solutions! Thanks, mama!
And great job on the video! Did you know that it's the first one I've watched? I know...bad BFF. I just didn't want to get 'enabled' because i know your haul vids talk about new products and all. But you know what? I need new storage for my copics and I'm bored with the Gina K paper. Did you say you bought those kelli paper online? Or at a store?
Love the coloring...mine's very similar, except I sometimes use E21 instead and add E00.
Congrats on the 100 followers!

I can't wait for your next Copic demo! I, too would like more info on where you were able to find the card stock used. I've just begun collecting my markers and have found my card stock is crumby and how it is just as important to the project!

I have been looking for these and could not (until now) find out who made them. Thank you so much and use them in good health. Blessings, Louise Fox of trinitypaperarts.blogspot.com
