Okay, I know it's been a while!

Hey Stampers!

Are you ready to shake things up?

I sure hope so!

With the new catalog comes a fun new change.

We're going to say goodbye to some friends, welcome back old friends, and say hello to new friends!!!!

Are you ready?

They are changing up our 5 color families and making them 4 color collections. Yes, that means we'll see some of the colors leave, some old in-colors brought back (yippee!), and some fun new colors join in the mix.

So why am I telling you this so early? Well, first of all, because you are loyal customers and friends, but also so you can budget for and plan to get some of those colors that will be leaving us and get excited about new colors coming in.

I am excited that a lot of my favorite In-colors are back: Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Soft Suede, Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, River Rock, Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze and Wild Wasabi will all be joining us again..woo hoo!

The new friends that will be joining us are: Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake (formerly Kraft), Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, and Marina Mist.

Now as for the ones that are leaving, I know some will be sad to see certain colors go (I am too), but this change will be good. So be sure to stock up on your favorites!

I know it’s a lot to take in, but bear with me just a couple more important things….

1. Every year SU! will introduce 5 new In-Colors, but they will stick around for two years. So 5 new colors will roll out July ’10, then another 5 July ’11. Then in July ’12 the first batch of 5 will retire and we’ll get 5 new ones!!!!
2. Craft inks will now only come in full size pads for Basic Black, Very Vanilla, and Whisper White. All the colors will still be available in the spot size, but if you want full size pads, order them now!
3. A handful of core colors will change every 3 to 5 years to keep the color pallete updated and fresh.

Are you excited? I hope so, because I sure am! I love working with fresh, new colors!

I'm trying to figure out how to post pictures of the new color charts, but haven't been able to make it work yet. I would be happy to send them in an e-mail if you just let me know. THAT I know I can do! :) If you have any questions or need help placing that order to stock up, feel free to contact me.


Happy Stampin'!
