Lots of News!

Exciting news...we moved! We went to "just look" at houses and then a month later we were moving. I'm super excited to have a craft room all to myself but my entire craft room is still in boxes. I thought we would have it all unpacked by now but more important things keep coming up and setting up the craft room gets put on hold. I hope to be back posting regularly very soon. It's been such a long time since I've even seen my craft stuff. I have missed crafting and sharing with you. I have a running list of pages I want to scrapbook!

LOTS OF STAMPIN' UP! NEWS to share...

Stampin' Up! announced that they would be making changes to their color families beginning with the release on July 1 of the 2010-2011 Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog. I am so looking forward to the great new colors and the return of some of my favorite In Colors!

Unfortunately, we will have to say good-bye to 30 colors.

KEEP WATCH for details on new color kits, Stampin' Up! markers for all Core Colors (including former In Colors and the newest colors), expansion of colors for Stampin' Pastels and Watercolor Wonder Crayons and an awesome Color Coach tool that will make color selection better than ever!
