Birthday Swings!

Hi Everyone, It's been a few days since my last post, but I have a couple of exciting things to share with you. Firstly, I am so excited to tell you that Stampin' Up! is having a Colour Renovation. This means, from September 2010 (in the next new Idea Book & Catalogue) we will have 4 new Colour Collections. The Colour Renovation is a refreshing, updated colour palette with a combination of current colours with previous In Colours and five new colours.

The 5 new colours are Marina Mist, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, and Daffodil Delight. Some previous In Colours returning are River rock and Wild Wasabi, and I'm super excited about the current In Colours being added to the Colour Collections ( Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze, Pacific Point, Riding Hood Red, Tangerine Tango & Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Soft Suede). Very Vanilla is coming back, and we still have Kraft - it just has a new name - Crumb Cake! And there's more - each year we will have 5 new In Colours staying for 2 years each.

Click here for a look at the new Colour Collections.

Unfortunately, this also means that we will be saying goodbye to some colours on the 31st August to make way for the new. That gives us plenty of time to stock up on all our favourites.

Secondly, some super exciting news for anyone thinking of becoming a Stampin' Up Demonstrator - whether for starting your own business, or to get the personal discounts on products. From May 21 to July 31, the Starter Kit is being offered at a 20% discount - this means that instead of $324.00 - the full kit is only $259.00. This is extremely good value (to check out what is included, look inside the back cover of the Catalogue).

Finally - three very special people in my life have started their own blogs this weekend. First was Shelley, a very special friend (who is a Stampin' Up fanatic). Shelley does some amazing creations, so check it out as soon as possible - http://www.shelleysland.blogspot.com/.

And Alyssa (my daughter) and Tori (my neighbour). These two girls are very creative and inspiring, and will probably run a crafting empire one day. Hop on line and see what they're making now.
