Happy Anniversary
We celebrated my in-laws wedding anniversary this weekend. This is the card I made for them.
Knowing I wanted to use my Vintage Vogue stamp set, I then chose my color combo. I wanted Old Olive for the vines, so I choose Pink Pirouette and Rose Red to accompany the Olive. Each flower was hand cut and embellished with a half back white pearl from the Pretties kit.
I do not own a stamp with "Happy Anniversary". How is that? This one is okay, but a little too "beginning of the relationship" rather than "married a really long time" type of sentiment. Oh well, couldn't be helped when I was making this card an hour before the celebration. {Have I ever mentioned I am a last minute kind of gal?}.
Since I was using some of my hoard of pretties, I also used some Hodge Podge hardware. I hoard this stuff. Why, I don't know since I can buy more if I need it. Seriously, its ridiculous, but I do know I am not alone hoarding embellishments!
Happy Stamping!

Color Renovation
I am excited to share a Stampin' Up! announcement with you! I am so excited by this announcement and I just can’t wait for July! What is it you say? Colour Renovation!
It's huge and it's super! The color renovation changes will take place in the new Idea book and Catalogue that is released July 1st. We will see 4 Color Collections that each contains 10 core colors. Of the 40 core colors, 5 are brand spanking new, 10 are returning In-Colors from previous years and the rest are carryover colors. The collections are called Brights, Neutrals, Regals and Subtles. As well, we will have 5 brand new In-Colors that will stay current for 2 years!
Of course this means we do have to bid a fond adieu to a quite a few current colors. But there is lots of time to stock up on your favourites that are leaving.
You may see or hear some negative comments about this change. Stampin’ Up! did not decide to do this on a whim. This change came about after almost 2 years of extensive research, focus groups, etc. Any company needs to stay fresh and current and Stampin’ Up! is doing just that with this Color Renovation!

{Can you guess which two colors have me jumping for joy?}
