Color Renovation Workshop May 22.

This workshop will be focused around using some of the retiring colors. It has been 5 years since SU has revised their Pallette, and they have decided to retire some old colors and introduce some exciting new ones. I will offer 20% off on any ink pads, card stocks, and re-inkers from the retiring list. This discount will only be available if you order at the workshop or by phone within 2 days of the workshop. It is not available on on-line orders. If you have some favorites, now will be the time to order, as once the colors are gone they will be gone forever.

Scrapbook Page for Color Challenge #26

I just completed this scrapbook page of my little grandson Charlie. It turns out the colors are exactly those that are required in the Color Challenge on Cards & Things Challenge Blog, so I thought I would submit it to that site. These shots were taken while Charlie was playing in front of the book case. He is only 14 months old, but almost looks like he is ready to read, so I thought I would use that as my theme.
I used Stampin' Up's My Digital Studio Software for this layout.

Framed Easter Egg

I got this idea From the Make It and Love It Blog. I thought it would look really cute in the Rich Razzleberry Designer Paper and In Colors. It will make a cute Easter decoration for someone. One of my lucky Workshop attendants will win this at my workshop on Saturday!

Sale-a-bration and Occasions Mini Catalog will be arriving in your mailbox soon. Both of these catalogs will start on January 5. Sale-a-bration is the best promotion of the year allowing you to earn extra free merchandise. For every $50 purchase, you can pick one free product out of the Sale-a-bration catalog, or from the list in the back of the flyer. In addition, if you host a $300 workshop, you can also earn a free product. This is the best time of the year to host. These free product offerings are in addition to all the other generous hostess benefits. Get you friends together, and host a workshop during this promotion period.
The Occasions Mini Catalog is packed with spring seasonal products, including new stamp sets, papers and punches.
Both of these catalogs introduce our new Acrylic mount stamp sets and newly designed punches.
Going forward you will have the option of purchasing your stamps either the traditional wood mounted style or the New Clear-mount style. The advantages of the clear mount style are decreased cost for each stamp set, and less storage space requirements. See page 6 of the new mini catalog for a complete description of our new clear mount stamp design.
The new punch style also has the great benefit of requiring less space for storage, has greater punching leverage, and allows for larger punch images. See page 10 of the new mini catalog for complete descriptions.
I am looking forward to introducing these new products to you in 2010.

In Colors and Razzle Dazzle


Razzle Dazzle is the first set I purchased from the new catalog, along with all the in colors. So far I haven't used the stamp set, and have only occasionally used the new colors. For today's challenge it was time to work with all of that and this is the result. I really like this set and the in colors are great with it. Those colors are really growing on me and I love working with them. They really make striking cards because the colors are so bold.

Stamp Set: Razzle Dazzle, Upsy Daisy (sentiment)
Papers: Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango, Rich Razzleberry Card Stock
Inks: Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, Dusty Durango, Soft Suede, Bermuda Bay Markers, Basic Brown Ink
Accessories: Dusty Durango Polka Dot Gros Grain Ribbon, Earth Elements Brads



Simply Scrappin' Christmas Card


Hi, for today's Monday Lunchtime Challenge I decided to use the Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin' Kit. Over the weekend I used my kit to design a stamp-a-stack class for later this month. There were a lot of elements left over, so I used some of them for this challenge. It was pretty easy, no stamping, just cut and paste. I love making cards with the SS Kits. You can get so many cards out of one, by just adding a little extra card stock.
Stamps: none
Papers: Old Olive Card Stock, Real Red Card Stock, Chocolate Chip Card Stock
Accessories: Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin' Kit, Sleigh Bells Old Olive Ribbon, Clear Rhinestone Brads, Modern Label Punch.
