Change is good!


News from Stampin’Up!

Colour Refresh and Petite Curly Label Punch

I have some colour news (my fave thing colour….) Today Stampin' Up! have announced that they will be refreshing the four colour families from 1st July when the new Annual catalogue is released.
 


Don’t worry though its all good, only 10 colours will be leaving us and will be replaced with some new colours but also some of your favourite colours from past In Colour collections. Check out the comprehensive list below which includes all the new colours as well as the discontinued colours.


We will be keeping the colour family names Brights, Subtles, Regals and Neutrals but just refreshing the pallete and replacing the less popular colours with some favourites from past In Colour collections and some new ones too.
 

All the new colours will be available from 1st July.

As from today, colours that will be leaving us will only be available WHILST STOCKS LAST so if you want to stock up on any of the following in the current colour ranges or discontinued colours you need to get in touch to place your order now.....

Great news I think you will agree and lots to look forward to when the new Annual Catalogue is launched.











And a little something else to share, if you did not get your hands on the petite curly label punch during sale-a-bration it is now available to purchase and will go into the new Annual catalogue too so its staying!


It is £11.50 and can be added to your order anytime as of now.

Hi there,
so much has happened good and bad its been a challenging few months. I have learnt a few lessons, maybe the hard way but I think I'm wiser for it...
I am learning to not let people upset me, not take things to heart too much and to not expect too much.
People will judge you, there is nothing you can do about that, you cant stop it, I need to be confident on who I am and proud of what I have achieved.
I cant predict the future but I am going to put myself out there and have fun.
this isnt a new pic but I love it, these are the people who keep me going...

A snippet of some work..This is so bright because its a showhome....cheap and cheerful, did the trick..

My interior design business has been running for 12 months, cant believe it, I'm loving it, we have some great clients and I am lucky to be installing at a Villa in Portugal at the beginning of March and this is the hotel the client has booked for us to stay in, she has also booked up a massage for all the hard work!

More infor coming and of course lots of papercrafting, If I didnt do that I would go mad, its my de stress, I am running bag classes and already have 2 full, I will post the info very soon, they are very small classes initially of 4 people , I will be doing morning or afternoon sessions from my home in Wilmslow, message me if you would like information.My  studio has had to have a little re style but although very cold it is nearly finished.
I thought you would like to see a picture of what it used to look like before it was really mine..

Look what I'm making!

Ive not had the best week so what better way to be cheered up than a macaroon making workshop!! I don't think I will actually like the taste but love the colours, I sure the kids will love them and if I don't like them there won't be an calories!
Cant wait......the colours are very inspiring....may need to go in the craft studio...

Just back from the most fantastic Paperie retreat, Monica Gale knows how to put on a doo! I arrived after a not so good journey,M62on a Friday , what did I expect.. to a lovely old hall called Monk Fryston Hall and the very warmest Yorkshire welcome, the staff were amazing. Between homeade cakes,biscuits, 3 course meals and unlimited sweets I am unlikely to eat again for the next 5,409578 years..
Worth every calorie though...
This is the fab goody bag we recieved full of equipment to keep...yes to keep!

A little tour of the grounds....

Lovely restaurant...

Look what was in my room and no calories!

lots more pics to follow...
