Unconvention was so much fun!

Last Saturday we had our first Unconvention. Several Demonstrators and friends who were unable to attend The Stampin'Up annual convention got together and spent the entire day stamping. I had so much fun creating and stamping with everyone. Here are a few card we created some cased, others are original creations. Thank you Julie for the Greeting card kids cased from the catalog and Bev for the finishing touches on the Water color trio card and the original Chicken card we created together. Can't wait to do it again. As always thanks for looking and if you have any questions let me know.

Happy Summer to you!

I am never at a loss for words until it is time to post on my blog. So I will make this short and sweet. Hope you like. Thank you to the fellow creators of these wonderful cards. I borrowed a few ideas and added some of my own to create all of these cards. Here are this weeks 5. Will post again next week. As always any questions please ask and thanks for looking.

Blog update

Today was my Birthday. I have made A Birthday resolution to post at least one item on my blog each week. I know that sounds weak but if you take a look at the last time I posted anything you will understand. I have been very busy creating. Here are a few samples of what I have been up to. I will not give complete descriptions (I'm too lazy) but if you have a question please ask. Some of the products have since retired however they could easily be switched out for others. Thanks for checking me out.

Color Renovation!

Stampin Up has announced an exciting new Color Renovation. What does that mean? Well starting July 1 our Stampin Up colors and color families are changing. Here are some of the basics:
4 New Color Families
Brights, Subtles, Regals and Neutrals
Each Family will contain 10 colors
Of these 40 Core colors there will be
25 of our previous colors
10 returning past In Colors
5 NEW colors
In our new July Catalog we will also have 5 NEW In Colors for the 2010 year. And each new set of In Colors will get a 2 year lifespan!
Now I am not allowed to show you the new colors or color families just yet but I can let you know which colors are getting a Fond Farewell. So here there are, and if there are any colors on this list you are sad to see leaving us then now is the time to stock up. These will probably be while supplies last and they may go quickly:
Pink Passion, Pixie Pink, Pale Plum, Orchid Opulence, Lovely Lilac, Lavender Lace, Almost Amethyst, Bordering Blue, Brocade Blue, Ballet Blue, Brilliant Blue, Taken with Teal, Glorious Green, Handsome Hunter, Sage Shadow, Mellow Moss, Green Galore, Gable Green, Barely Banana, Yo yo Yellow, Summer Sun, Apricot Appeal, Only Orange, Really Rust, Ruby Red, Cameo Coral, Blush Blossom,Creamy Caramel, Close to Cocoa and Going Gray.
So why all the Changes??
1. To make it easier on new recruits getting started and new customers
(more manageable, less expensive!)
2. Sales Showed items that weren't used or didn't sell. By getting rid of some of the less popular colors it will make room for more matching embellishments and better bundles. ( we all had those few colors we got in our sample packs that we didn't want to use;))
3. and Finally feedback showed that getting new colors in the past such as new In Colors is really exciting!
