Copics Class at Southern Scrapbooks store

May 14, 2010 By: Pamela Category: Greetings

Today is THE day! I am signed up to take this copic class at a local scrapbook store! I can’t wait to share with you what we are going to make!!

Here’s the deets from Southern Scrapbooks newsletter:

Copic Workshop with Guest Artist, Sally Lynn MacDonald

Friday, May 14th 3:00pm – 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Classes are FULL!

http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x203/pizazzit/Misc/acrylicalbum.jpgWorkshop  – Acryclic Album: ‘Let No Surface Remain UnInked’ featuring Copic Airbrushing


Clear Acrylic products are all the rage and this class will show you how to not only cope with the design challenges of a clear surface – but how to make it SHINE. We’ll expose the clear surface and show you how to maximize your supplies along with ways to embellish and enhance the surface with epoxies, ink and getting double-duty from your embellishments. Sally Lynn will make it clear and complete in simply no time at all with techniques that you can use on all your clear projects. This technique-packed workshop will focus on Copic Marker ink and airbrushing as well as Glimmer Mist and the many surfaces and techniques used to color with them. From layering colors on transparencies, to airbrushing on acrylic as well as coloring ‘bling’, epoxy stickers, flowers and chipboard, Sally Lynn will guide you through every surface to go way above and beyond stamped images to altering everything.

http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x203/pizazzit/Misc/sallybiopic.jpgSouthern Scrapbooks is proud to welcome guest artist & instructor, Sally Lynn MacDonald. She will be teaching two workshops on Friday, May 14th for $40 each. Check out the information for the workshop and specify which one you would like to sign up for when you call in. We want to emphasize that class space is very limited and already filling up so please call ASAP to ensure that you will be given a space. Do not miss this special opportunity!

Sally Lynn MacDonald has been an avid scrapbooker, stamper, paper and altered artist since 1998, when her first child was born. Subsequently, after the birth of twins, she quit her high-tech career at IBM to be home with her growing family. “This is when creativity became a survival skill!” she says.

She has been working in the paper arts industry for several years specializing in ink techniques and surfaces. Sally Lynn works with Prima Marketing in addition to her role as National Certification Trainer for Copic Marker / Imagination International. She is also a certified and/or endorsed instructor for Clear Scraps, Ranger Ink, Prima Marketing and a ‘Golden Embassador’ Instructor for Tattered Angels. She travels extensively, teaching workshops at conventions and stores throughout the United States and Canada. Her personal design challenge is to take products or techniques that would have her students saying “Huh?” and bring them to “Ah ha!”.

Her style is eclectic and she loves to make each project unique, interactive and indulge her creative side. This year, she is on HGTV, featured in a couple of segments of the “That’s Clever!” television program. Her work has been published in Legacy/Somerset Memories, Paper Crafts, Rubber Stamper and Stamper’s Sampler Take Ten and Creative Jewelry.

Sally Lynn and her husband Neil live in Connecticut with their children, Brianna and the “Twinkies,” Cameron and Courtney. Keep up with Sally Lynn’s work, adventures and travels on her blog: http://www.inkyheart.typepad.com/.
