A Color Renovation! This is super exciting news! All the color families have been revamped with 5 NEW beautiful colors, Returning In Colors and of course some of our favorite colors will be retiring. The new colors are so RICH looking. The most exciting part of this Color Renovation for me was the re-naming of ONE of my favorite cardstock colors! Kraft cardstock has a yummy name now! CRUMB CAKE! Woot! I almost wet myself when I found this out. It will come in a Craft Ink pad, Classic Ink pad, Marker, Crayon…. I know… say it isn't so! Just visualize me jumping like a mad woman in my stamp room. Yippie Doodle!!!
Here are the colors to ponder!
While many of our favorite colors may be leaving, take a moment to really look at the new color collections. One of my favorite things (and YOU know there are many!) is that this company keeps current with the ever so changing craft industry. The new colors and renovation really do reflect that. My advice for those who are sad to see some of your favorites leave… stock up on INK refills and cardstock. Your ink pads will last you forever. Grab the colors you cannot live without. I will showcase some of my favorites that are leaving. Bordering Blue has been one of my favorites for a long time. We will be okay! Baja Breeze is C'mon back! Woot!
I do have a trickle of inspiration for you tonight. Of course it uses Bordering Blue! <sigh> Ha, can you imagine using the Crumb Cake Craft pad on this card too…. ohh la la!
Guess what? One of my new favorite things to use is my Fine Galaxy Glitter (114286). This comes in Black, Silver, Red, Gold and Champagne. I use it with my 2-Way Glue pen and it's super easy! On this card I roughed up the edge with my Cutter Kit and then slid my 2-Way Glue pen across the roughed edge. Take your Fine Glitter and sprinkle a little winkle (bare with me… I'm in that kind of mood!) on the card. DoNe! I used the Elegant Trio stencil on this card. The background stamp you see is from the set called Elements of Style that you can order on May 1st. It's a beautiful set. Speaking of beautiful stamp sets…. I have one that sits on my desk lately. It's one of my old fav's and I have really been putting good use to it again. Remember Define Your Life?
SUPER set! I encourage you to pull it out and put it to use. This style is very popular right now. I love it.
I hope your week is fabulous. We had a snow day today. I know! Can you actually believe that?
Big Smooches!

I check your blog every day for you creations and tutorials. I truly enjoy your flair. Thanks so much for posting the new and retired colors. As I love many of the colors that will be retiring the new colors are more defined and have fewer shades. I think I'm going to like this. Thanks again – love your work.
