Variety is the spice of life, especially in the world of color. Stampin' Up makes a point to keep up with trends in the market. They decided this year it was time to give our color collections a make-over.

TWO HUGE ANNOUNCEMENTS TODAY FROM STAMPIN' UP
First some 'refreshing news'! Today Stampin' Up! has announced that they will be refreshing the four color families. Don't freak out like I did! Some of them I am really sad to see go - like Regal Rose and Baja Breeze (my favorites!) and Certainly Celery and Pretty In Pink .... but I'm happy to see some others like Pear Pizazz and Calypso Coral staying around. (I'm still looking for my favorite green - Kiwi Kiss but no such luck.)
I love color! However, I know it's essential to stay up-to-date with color trends. Stampin' Up! has tweaked our current colors. Just take a look at current fashion and home décor to see these new changes are right on target. DON'T MISS there's a brand new color under neutrals called Smoky Slate. I think I'm gonna like that one!
Beginning TODAY (4/4), all retiring/discontinued color products (i.e. ink, paper, ribbon, accessories, etc.) will be available ONLY while supplies last. This means that some products will not be available through the retired list period (WHICH BEGINS APRIL 24 AND RUNS THROUGH JUNE 3, 2013).
