These items will NOT be appearing in the new Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalogue (which starts July 1st). Remember that stamp set supply should last til the end of June, but accessories are only available as long as supply lasts. Place your order online or contact me directly.
It's Scrapbooking Month! If you're digital scrapper, hybrid scrapper, paper scrapper or a wannabe scrapper, it's time to celebrate. Another reason to celebrate – the new Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalogue is here! Lots of new stamp sets, papers and tools (Smooch Spritz!!!) to keep the paper crafter happy. New special as well – free brads with qualifying purchase – see here for details.
In honour of Scrapbooking Month, I'm sharing this "scrapmap" or template for a scrapbook page. This was actually featured in one of last year's Stampin' Success, the Stampin' Up! demonstrator only monthly magazine. I chose this map to share as it's a clean, simple layout, not too intimidating for a newer scrapper, and one that an experienced scrapper can use as is or jazz up. The concept is simple – the white blocks would be where you would place your pictures, journaling or momentos, the thin stripe to the left could be ribbon, cardstock or designer paper and the circles can be either punch outs, brads, or other accessories. It's just the base, and you can build on it.
I'm off for an in home class with Helen and her friends today. I recently donated a Silent Auction package to the local Retired Women Teachers' Organization, and whe was the winner! If you're looking for another opportunity to win, I'll be donating another gift basket full of goodies to the Sam's Day event, happening in Burlington on June 5th. For five years now, Sam and his family have been organizing this massive event to raise funds for Neuroblastoma research at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto – and this is one small way I can support this fantastic effort. (The other way is by participating – if you'd like to pledge, I'd appreciate it – I'm participating in the Rock n' Bowl with my son!)
I checked with Stampin' Up! and it's okay for me to share these images from the demonstrator side of the Stampin' Up! website (truly, if you think the customer side is great, the demonstrator side is even better).
So – here's the visual guide – the Retiring Colours, here until the end of June 2010
Here's the new arrangement of Colours as of July 1st – what a way to celebrate Canada Day, eh?!
Stampin' Up! announced today that they are renovating the colour groups. For those easily overwhelmed…LOL…we're dropping to 40 core colours, with In Colours rounding out the palette. With the renovation, we see a number of colours being retired at the end of June, making room for the carry overs and some returning old favourite In colours, plus a few brand new blends to create a complete rainbow of choices.
Here are the colours retiring… (I've placed them in the order they appear on pages 155 – 157 in the current Idea Book & Catalogue).
NEUTRALS
BOLD BRIGHTS:
EARTH ELEMENTS
RICH REGALS
SOFT SUBTLES
The revamped Colour Families will be:
BRIGHTS Collection
NEUTRALS Collection
REGALS Collection
SUBTLES Collection
There's also the GETTING STARTED Collection – featuring the basics from each of the colour families…
Pretty in Pink, Marina Mist, Certainly Celery, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Basic Black, Rich Razzleberry, Night of Navy, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Whisper White.
*phew* there's that done… In the meantime, you can continue to order these products until the end of June. For MY DIGITAL STUDIO owners, there will be a free update available July 1st to download all the new colours….and of course, the retired colours will still be available & plentiful in the digital world!!

While it's sad to say goodbye to Sale-a-Bration, April brings a new Stampin' Up! promotion to us – TWO-STEP INTO SPRING!
Two-step stamping is why I fell in love with Stampin' Up products. Components of an image are on separate stamps. I love that I can stamp the outline of a flower in one colour, and then stamp the leaves and blossoms in another colour. Or the stem of a flower in green, and the solid bloom image in another. Or the trunk of the tree in brown, and the leaves in green….you get the idea…(if not, contact me to attend one of my classes LOL!!)
Two-Step into Spring – celebrate in a number of ways…
1) Host a workshop with $460 in sales and receive the brand new Awash with Flowers set for FREE!
