I had to make the matching card.... I find it's great to be able to show the versatility at a workshop of how we can adapt card designs to Scrap pages and visa versa....
There will be Thank you's and place cards to make and design still.... I believe we should have it all wrapped up quite well; soon... .. and very in tune with the theme!!!
"We are pleased to introduce our Colour Renovation! Because colour is fundamental to who we are as a company, and what you offer as a demonstrator, it's important for you to be able to stay up-to-date with trends in colour. We are thrilled to share with you our updated line of colours, and hope you will be as excited as we are by the new possibilities!
The new line of colours will be available with the upcoming 2010-2011 catalogue, but as this is a change that will affect demonstrators worldwide, we wanted to introduce it all at once. More information and tools will be coming later this year as we near the transition, but we wanted you to know the basics now......"
Wow. This really is some exciting news!
Some of our current colours will be discontinued and there will be some brand new colours introduced, along with the return of some of our favourite in-colours!
Our colours will then be organised into 4 Colour Collections, 10 in each family... Which will fit perfectly in my Officeworks 5 draw organisers... hehe... This is rather than the Colour Families we know at the moment (12 in each). As you can see by the picture below some of the colours have moved into different collections and I am liking the way they look - they seem so fresh and vibrant!
There's still quite a bit of time before this comes into effect so don't worry - you will have plenty of time to collect any of your favourite colours that may be discontinued.
If you have favourties that you just can't live without, its a great idea to purchase the ink refill bottle so that your inkpads can last almost forever! And you might like to purchase a pack or 2 of the matching cardstock to see you through.
Honestly I was a little shocked and perhaps pouted for a moment or two when it was first brought to my attention.... but the more I look at the colour collection, and the more time I take to digest the RENOVATION.... the more it grows on me....... I am sure that I will fall in love with the new collections just as much as I love the current ones. As I am sure you will too...
You will see and hear more about this as September draws closer, but for now, enjoy your colours and keep stamping!
