Class News

Okay, so classes are going to be getting back to normal (after my week and a half at work!).

Last Saturday (Saturday just gone), everyone got the chance to play with ink refills and rubbing alcohol, which made some stunning "Polished Stone" items.  I don't think I have had so much fun in ages (even with a Middle Ear Infection), and to see some of the work produced....I was thrilled.

The youngest member was Isabelle...and I have to say that children, when given free-reign to create, come up with some of the most amazing work.  They don't have the inhibitions adults do, and just "go for it".  I think I am a bit jealous of that relaxed way they have, and it's going to be something I play with more and more....just to see what I can acheive.

So....enough of that.  Now for the next class.....we'll be doing Patchwork Quilting on cards.  The technique is so simple, and so easy....and the results are just amazing!!

Just a few pieces of scrap DSP, a gel pen and some pearls from our Pretties Kit...and you have a very, VERY effective card - especially with Mother's Day so close! (This idea is thanks to another demonstrator - I will be posting a link to her blog within the day....my apologies)

What on earth are you waiting for?  Email me to make sure you have a seat on Saturday May 1st!!

BIG Colour News!!!

Colour Renovation


We are excited to bring to you a new world of colour in Stampin' Up!'s Colour Renovation. For over two years, we have done extensive research including investigating colour trends in the fashion, home décor, and crafting industries, and have conducted focus groups involving demonstrators, customers, and Stampin' Up! experts. We have found that it was time to update our colours so that you have a fresh, on-trend colour palette to work with! We have learned from our successful In Colour programme that you love getting new colours, and your customers love them too.

The new colour palette is organized into four collections: Subtles, Brights, Regals, and Neutrals. You will see 25 of our current colours remaining, and ten past In Colors returning as core colours, and the addition of five new core colours. Check the colour charts to see what the new collections look like, and what colours will be retiring.

New In Colour Programme

One part of our Colour Renovation that we're sure you're going to love is the new In Colour programme! Each year we will introduce five new In Colours, and they will remain for two years. This means that the 2010-2011 In Colours will be introduced this year, but will not be retired until the 2012-2013 colours are introduced. This year there will be only be five In Colours, but after that, we will always have ten (the previous year's plus the new). Look for a later announcement on this year's In Colors.

Here are the New Colour Collections - I love the fresh new feel of these, and I know you will too!

I'm sad to see some of my personal favourites going, but all good things must come to an end....as they say.

April Classes

As I am going to be working for the next 10 days straight, the 10am-2pm class that was going to be held this Saturday, has been postponed.

I will be still holding the Saturday Women's Business evening on April 17, so "get your gear together" and book your place.  $10 for the night (if you would like dinner, we all chip in and order pizza, or Indian, or Chinese!), and I will have a small amount of product available if you need to.

I will need to know by Friday of this week (April 9th) at the latest if you are coming, as I will not have access to the Internet or my PC until Wednesday next week!

So....are you in, or are you out?

IN....I vote IN...
