You can open the day's envelope at home, open your pattern and watch the video if you wish.  Your surface and stencils will be there. All you need to do is add paint.  . NOTE: If your schedule does not allow you to work on this now, no problem.  You will be able to work at your own pace in the future and the videos will be there for you for up to one year.

No downloading or printing needed. So if you are too busy now, don't worry you can start when your schedule permits. If you are an overachiever there is nothing I can do from stopping you from ripping into the envelopes ahead of time!!!!   It is easy to participate: Register online or give us a call to register.  The registration fee is just $75 which includes US priority shipping.
