This was the information sheet that was included. It lists the supplies with brief descriptions, and it has instructions on how to make a suggested project. It also has information about their monthly contest.
The winner of Smile Create Repeat's monthly contest gets his or her creation printed on a postcard and sent to subscribers in the next month's box. This was the postcard for this month. Pretty!

My husband absolutely loved these supplies! He has never used brush tip markers before and they were a huge hit with him. They were super helpful and easy to use.
This is my husband's completed drawing. It turned out pretty good, I think! He said he "mostly" followed the instructions, but did a design that was completely his own. I'm a big fan of his work, so it's hard for me to be objective!
Regarding the supplies, my husband actually used the word "LOVE" when describing them! He has never used a brush-tipped marker before, and he found it really useful.
Verdict: My husband had a grat time with this box, and he felt like the supplies were good quality. He is glad to have them! I think his drawing turned out good, too. The value of everything this month totals $16.26, which is short of the $20 box price, but that's typical with fine arts boxes. The value is really more in discovering new supplies, plus the value of the sourcing, instructions, and supplemental materials.
