Colour Renovation Update...

Happy Friday, Everyone! I am so looking forward to a weekend. Steve will be away tomorrow, so there won't be any Family hikes... I will be stranded at home without a vehicle. So it might be a good day for a walk to the park. Whatever I do with the kids, I hope this gorgeous weather sticks around so we can be outside!

Colours... I shared with you a couple posts ago about our Colour Renos that are on the way to the Stampin' Up! Colour wheel. Here is a link to the new list of colours. Not only will there be some great new "core colour" additions, the colour families have been juggled around to create a better flow of colours. Each family has 10 colours. In addition to the 40 colours you see on this link, there will be 5 new In Colours each year, which will last for 2 years.

I would love to hear what you think of these renos! I am excited about the change!


Here's the link if you would like to be able to make it bigger... THE NEW COLOUR COLLECTIONS

Colour Renovation!

Stampin' Up! has just announced a HUGE renovation to their colour collections. This will all take place in time for the new Idea Book and Catalogue in July. There will be 5 fabulous new "In Colors" and the return of 10 of our old favourites from past In Colors. Plus, SU! is introducing a handful of brand new core colours, too.

But, in order to make room for these great new additions, we must say farewell to some current colours. Take a look at these colours and make sure to stock up on paper, ink, reinkers, and embellishments in any of the colours you know you will use over and over again!

Bear Buddies...

Here's a little card I made to give to our friends Andy and Alexa as a thank you for inviting us camping with them. I used a mask over the bear to make the arms interlock like that. Then I used watercolour pencil crayons and blenderpens to colour them in. The set is called "Under the Stars." The mosquitoes on the bottom layer of the card are very symbolic because we got so many bites during our 4 days camping, and went through an entire can of Bug spray, but the kids hardly noticed because they were having so much fun!

New IN COLORS

I love the anticipation of a new Stampin' Up! catalogue, and as a demonstrator, I get the benefit of seeing a few things before everyone can order from the catalogues.

My first pre-order arrived on Friday and in it was all my new IN COLOR products. I love them! Especially the Kiwi Kiss and the Riding Hood Red. There were some fun new stamp sets in my box as well as some beautiful patterned paper and the coolest punch ever. I promise you... you will LOVE the new catalogue! Mark your calendar for my new catty open house in August, and you'll get to see many more new products!

Can't wait to start creating with my new goodies!!!


The colours are:

Riding Hood Red, Tangerine Tango, Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss, Pacific Point, and Baja Breeze

Scrappin' Clubs this month

Here is the double layout that we did at my Scrappin' Clubs this month. The clubs were on Monday and Friday, and both clubs did the same pages. We used Always Artichoke for the background 12X12 pieces, and the Groovy Guava and River Rock for the other colours. The theme was "These Hands of mine" and the layout is one by Becky Higgins in Creating Keepsakes (Feb. 2005 issue).
