Colour Renovation!

April 11, 2010
Stampin' Up! announced on Tuesday a new switch up of the color families. Some retired In Colors will be returning and 5 new colours have been added (Marina Mist, Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Early Expresso and Cajun Craze). Colours will be organized into 4 collections, with 10 colours in each: Subtles, Brights, Neutrals and Regals. (p.s Kraft is not going away - just undergoing a name change to Crumb Cake!)

See the chart below to get a peak at the renovated collections:
I spent time on Friday arranging my ink pads into the new colour collections and making colour swatches too. Although I was very skeptical at first, seeing the new collections and colours together made me feel better! And of course my all time fav colour - River Rock is returning! Very excited that I will be able to get my hands on the new colours soon and show them off to you with new projects.

 But don't forget about the retiring colours! You will want to stock up on your fav's before June 30, 2010. The following colours will no longer be avaliable with the new Idea Book and Catalogue on July 1, 2010:


Current colors that will retire on June 30th are:

Glorious Green, Green Galore, Gable Green, Yoyo Yellow, Only Orange, Pink Passion, Pixie Pink, Orchid Opulence, Lovely Lilac, Brilliant Blue, Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel, Really Rust, Ruby Red, Cameo Coral, Summer Sun, Bordering Blue, Brocade Blue, Ballet Blue, Taken with Teal, Handsome Hunter, Pale Plum, Blush Blossom (the marker will still be available), Apricot Appeal, Barely Banana, Mellow Moss, Sage Shadow, Almost Amethyst, Lavender Lace, Basic Brown, Going Gray.

Haitian Disater Relief Update!

February 23, 2010
There are just a few days left to participate in Stampin′ Up!’s Haitian relief efforts! Until February 28, 2010, Stampin′ Up! is setting aside $2 from the sale of select stamp sets to be donated to the American Red Cross’ Haiti Relief and Development Fund. So far, demonstrators around the world have sold 11,895 sets, which equates to over $20,000 to be donated to this fund--but don’t stop now! You still have six days left to participate in this effort and join other Stampin′ Up! demonstrators in making a difference in lives of those who continue to suffer in Haiti. You can also go back to my blog post when this all started for more information.
