| Many things to catch up on! In my last email I shared with you how I got Covid. Well, I went to an alcohol marker bootcamp in Arizona and on my flight back to San Jose, I had fever/chills. The silver lining was that because I self-isolated from my family, I received the #bestroomservice ever for almost 10 days! The bootcamp was 4 full days of coloring. Below are some photos of a project we worked on. I’m excited to pass on the learnings to all of you in a future workshop. I used Copics, Olo Markers, and Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. They are all so similar. I find Copics have the most color variety, and that the Stampin’ Blends are the easiest because the blendable colors are already sold as a pair. The bootcamp I went to was Jenn Dove’s Copic Bootcamp, she has two retreats a year, usually in Fall and Winter. |

| If you have $99 worth of product in your shopping cart, I recommend you consider joining Stampin’ Up as a demonstrator and purchasing those items as your Starter Kit. If you join during Sale-a-bration (Jan and Feb) you will get $175 worth of product (Starter Kit) for $99 and 20% off all future purchases as a demonstrator. There is never any obligation to sell, nor a penalty if you decide it’s not for you. And if you find it is not for you, you automatically drop the next quarter. Please contact me if you have questions about this. There is also an option to get the mini die cutting machine (in blue or white) as part of your starter kit if you join by February. Please see option 1, 2, below. |
