Wk 23... Vintage Polka dots Graph'It marker challenge

Hi everyone, welcome to another Graph'It marker challenge! 
Firstly, we'd like to wish all our friends in the USA a very 
Happy Thanksgiving
we give thanks here to you all for reading and joining in with this fab blog each week, thankyou all so much! And also of course, thanks to all the rest of our readers around the world, wherever you may be! We appreciate your support!

Did you get to watch our Create and Craft TV show with Nikky yesterday? Sellouts across the board, fantastic! The word is certainly spreading about our lovely Graph'Its and we know that everyone who tries them usually falls in love just like we all have! Don't forget, they also mix with your other markers too so they are a great addition to your marker collections and we have LOADS of colours that are not found in other brands too. If you didn't see the show you might be able to see repeats here  - well worth checking out the fabulous hints and tips from Nikky! If you missed the fantastic new marker sets which were absolute bargains You can get them from Premium Craft Brands here or from here. If you struggle with where to start choosing colours then you must check out the new Nikky's Choice set which is a really special deal - it sold out on the show yesterday but there is a different version of this set here available now and exclusively, in very limited quantities!

If you bought the 36 wallet pack on the show and want the colour chart for the front of your wallet you can download it here.

We will be adding samples from the team over the next few days to tempt you with so make sure you keep checking our posts each day : )

Here is the great demo that Nikky made on the show - don't you just LOVE the Ombre hair effect? She's promised to do a YouTube of this really soon so we'll let you know once it's posted up!


 Did you see the new Graph'It Glitter Shake pens? Oh my, they are AWESOMELY good! Nikky has been nagging for a few things she thinks we need and we love that the Graph'It people really listen to what we need as crafters, it shows what a great brand they are! You can get them from Premium Craft Brands here or from here.

Nikky has been nagging for some time about needing WHITE PENS...and finally last week she got her wish! The new Graph'It Shake White - woohoo!! She has been road testing these for a couple of weeks now and is happy to report they are fantastic with really dense coverage and they don't clog up - sooo important!
These are so hot off the press that even the DT don't have them yet, they're so jealous! You can get them from Premium Craft Brands here or from here.
