Rag Quilt Purse

Hey Everyone! I know you don't hear from me in forever and then twice in one night. I guess that's because I'm feeling caught up a little bit in life. Today I actually took some time for myself and made me a Rag Quilt Purse.

They are all the rage and you use the Big Shot die cutter to create the scalloped squares. It took me between 4-5 hours to complete my first one from start to finish. So not bad I guess.
Here's the actual purse:













These are sets of material that I have for more Rag Quilt Purses. These were fun and a pretty quick quilting project.

Stampin' Up! Color Renovations

Maybe you've already heard--the exciting news--but if you haven't then here it is . . .
Stampin' Up! has announced that it has come up with new color families--and they are calling it
COLOR RENOVATION

There will be 5 BRAND NEW COLORS, They will bring BACK 10 of the retired In Colors!!
These colors will all be available in July when our new catalog is released.

Here is what the new color families will look like:












So, now notice--there are still 4 Color Families, but some of our favorites are no longer in there--Yes, I will really miss Pixie Pink, Lovely Lilac, Ballet Blue and many others--but that's why I'll be stocking up on re-inkers & card stock in those colors and others that I'm very fond of. Speaking of Fond--the Fond Farewell chart is also posted--below.












I'm just so excited about all of this that I had to share my excitement with You.

Did you see them--the 5 new colors are: Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight, Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze and Early Espresso---Did you see them--the 10 returning In Colors are: Baja Breeze, Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette, Rich Razzleberry, Riding Hood Red, River Rock, Soft Suede, Tangerine Tango and Wild Wasabi.

I LOVE that WE will have NEW COLORS to CREATE with! Hope you will catch my excitement and stock up on your favorites from the list below--that will be retired as of June 30, 2010.

Maybe June seems along way off to you--but it will be here before you know it--contact me anytime by sending me an e-mail, or call me to put in your order.

5 New Colors--10 Returning In Colors--I'm so excited about all this I just had to share it with YOU!
