Hello stampers!

I’m sitting at the Houston airport, scrolling through 300 photos of a great time at the Stampin’ Up conference! I’m hoping this post formats correctly from my phone with all the photos.

9 of our amazing team of “Roadies” attended and it a super fun time! Getting a hard copy of the new annual catalog, seeing new products, seeing creative demonstrations, and seeing long time friends is a great vacation, too!

Pardon the lighting as I took this in the auditorium that day. It’s not our typical “stampy” cover….the intention of the photo is to create together and share card making with friends. I don’t stamp outside in a garden much but as long as the inside products are good, I can live with it:)

Great new bundles coming in the next Annual catalog! This one is a favorite of mine. My grandfather built planes and was a pilot so it will be first on my list.

Love the banner! we watched a fantastic demo by Marisa Alvarez. She created gorgeous samples!

Seeing the new In Colors is always a perk of attending OnStage. These 5 new colors will be active for just 2 years, more like fashion colors. They are bringing back Pretty in Pink, so if you have been around SU a long time like me , you may still have it!

This was a quick stamp and scribble I did of the new colors at our make and take event. We will have Peach Pie, Summer Splash, (looks a little like coastal cabana to me), Shy Shamrock (possibly like cucumber crush?), and Petunia Pop (maybe a lighter Berry Burst or darker freesia?). Once I’m home I’ll compare the colors to those retired colors and report back. I especially like the 2 greens!

You might have noticed nthe 6th color, an extra neutral called Basic Beige. To me it looks like Sahara Sand and River Rock had a baby ink! I think it will be very useful. We are wondering if Very Vanilla

Speaking of inks , if you have any of these In Colors, they will be retiring soon. They were in the last 2 years. Be sure you email me soon if you need the reinkers or more cardstock.

Customers who have ordered from me on the past 6 months will automagically get the new catalog in the mail. If your address has changed, please let me know this week!

Swapping cards is one of the highlights of the week! Since I didn’t share of video this week, here are some of my favorites on the display board. If you you see your swap here, let me know and I’ll add your name to your swap!
