Our first marker club is underway.  I thought you might like a peek before I pop these packages in the post today.

A marker club is a great way to build your collection of Stampin' Write Markers over 8 months.  You receive half a colour collection each month - here's one package ready to go with half the Subtles collection.

Can you see the ribbon?  That's this month's marker club 'bonus gift.'  Each month you get a little surprise in your parcel to use for your craft projects.  This time round it is some ribbon lengths.  It is nice to have some ribbon that coordinates with your marker collection.

For one of the 8 months you are the hostess and that's the month you get a BIG box in the post with the handy carry case, the In Colour Markers, the Blush Blossom marker, a Level 1 hostess set of your choice plus $80 of goodies from the Stampin' Up catalogue.  Here's what my first hostess selected.  (Plus an owl punch which must have been a bit shy and fluttered away when the photo was being taken!)

On top of that, each month in your email inbox you'll receive a tutorial for a marker technique.  Your tutorial has step by step instructions, plus lots of step by step photos for something you can do with your marker collection.  Here's a little peek at our first tutorial.

Sound good??   It is not too late to join the fun.  If you'd like to join my marker club, get in touch by phone or email and I'll send through some more info and get you started. 

Busy Busy

Been a busy patch lately with not much time at my craft desk.   I'm rather missing my card making gear!  I did get a nice quick and simple Christmas card made last night so pop back tomorrow for a look at that one.

We've been busy with birthdays in our house.  Hannah had a ball at her Tiny Chef party with the girls in her class,  and Jack of course.  They cooked pizzas, biscuits and made milkshakes then ate it all for the party feast.

And I've been busy practising my face painting technique.  I put my hand up to do face painting all day at the school fete this weekend.  Wish me luck!!  

I do hope to get a bit more time at my papercrafts in the next month so hopefully there'll be a little more action in this patch of blogland.    Happy stamping!

Cheers, Sue
