    At least I do get your new posts through Blogger. Wonderful card and an amazing background. i decided to sign up for this class anyway, even it I don’t own any Copics. I’m hoping it will give me an incentive to finally become better acqainted with my Promarkers. I have already started adding colour combos to the heart template.
    Would love to win this card kit. I think it’s one of the best (and cutest) to date.

I am a big fan of coffee and tea, though, and have enjoyed every card I’ve seen made with this kit. I subscribe to the RSS feeds and haven’t had any problems that I’m aware of. Not sure that bit of info helps narrow down your problem or not.
