One of the ways that I get inspired is to check out what other crafters are making. A great way to get a bunch of ideas at once is the follow a “blog tour.”
There is currently a tour going on called “Holiday Madness.” These gals have posted many great projects. You can start the tour HERE.
Once you go through each person’s blog postings, simply click on the image to Go To The Next Stop On The Holiday Madness Tour.
Have fun on the tour and be inspired!

10 Years! Wow! August 1, 2010
Posted by Shannon in Events.comments closed
June marked my 10-year Anninversary as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator! My, how the time has flown by!
While it has been a ton of fun stamping and sharing ideas, it was also time for a break.
During the past two years my part-time job at Chenery Auditorium has tripled in the number of shows that I work. I have also spent more energy focused on improving my health. Between aqua aerobics and my new passion, yoga, I have a bit more stamina and several more pain-free days.
The downside is that I’ve had almost no time and energy left to play with my crafts. Hence, why the posts here have been few and far between for the past year.
The latest round of Stampers Club finished in May. My husband, Dave, and I enjoyed a fun and restful vacation in June (who knew that Cleveland could be a cool place to visit). During July, I reorganized my office/craft room (a continuing project but I made a lot of good changes).
Now, I’m ready to start playing again! Which will lead to sharing new, fun ideas with you again. You know that I can’t keep cool and clever projects to myself!

Last Chance Lists June 2, 2010
Posted by Shannon in Stampin' Up! News.comments closed
June is the last month of the 2009-10 Stampin’ Up! Idea Book & Catalog. SU! has announced which stamps and accessories will retire in order to make room for new goodies in the next catalog. Here are the details.
NEW CORE COLORS
Stampin’ Up! is revamping the color families. Rather than the current 48 colors plus 7 neutrals, SU! is simplifying to 40 core colors. These will be offered as 4 color collections of 10 colors each.
To make this transistion, SU! is retiring many of the current colors! Every product in these colors is retiring! This is big! Check your personal inventory of card stock and ink refills especially to make sure you have what you would like in these colors before SU!’s stock is depleted (more on retiring accessories below). The following colors are being retired – handy flyer.
Bold Brights:
Glorious Green, Green Galore, Gable Green, Yoyo Yellow, Only Orange, Pink Passion, Pixie Pink, Orchid Opulence, Lovely Lilac, Brilliant Blue
Earth Elements:
Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel, Really Rust, Ruby Red, Cameo Coral, Summer Sun
Rich Regals:
Bordering Blue, Brocade Blue, Ballet Blue, Taken with Teal, Handsome Hunter
Soft Subtles:
Pale Plum, Blush Blossom, Apricot Appeal, Barely Banana, Mellow Moss, Sage Shadow, Almost Amethyst, Lavender Lace
Neutrals:
Going Gray
Current In Colors:
Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango
(The other 3 colors will continue as part of the new core colors.)
2009-10 In Colors
WILL THERE STILL BE ”IN COLORS?”
Each year SU! will introduce 5 new In Colors and offer them for 2 years! This July, SU! will add the first 5 In Colors for a total of 45 color options. In July 2011, they will introduce 5 more In Colors for a total of 50 color options. Each set of In Colors will be in the catalog for two years, allowing plenty of time for us to decide which ones are the “must-haves” and still offering us something fresh each year.
WILL I NEED TO BUY TONS OF NEW COLORS IN JULY?
Thankfully, no! To fill out the new color collections, SU! is bringing back many of the former In Colors. Only 5 brand-new colors are being added to the core colors. Here is a flyer of the 40 colors in their new Collections. (note: Crumb Cake is the new name for Kraft)
RETIRING LISTS
The retiring items are broken down into 3 lists – Last Chance Stamp Sets, Last Chance Definitely Decorative Items, Retiring Accessories. Details and flyers for each of these are below.
You are also welcome to view these items online. Go to my web site. Click on Shop Now in the upper right corner. (Entering from my web site will give you correct pricing information.) A new window will open. At the top of the left-hand column, click on Last Chance. An expanded list will now be available in that column. As you select various catagories to view, I suggest you change each view to Show All. On the right there is a drop-down box. It defaults to 8 per page each time you change categories. Open the box and select “Show All.”
While browsing online please note that:
1) the accessories that are 25% and 50% off do not show the sale price unless you add them to a shopping cart
2) as items are sold-out, they are removed from the online ordering site. So, if you can’t find something, it is probably no longer available. Check with me to verify.
LAST CHANCE STAMP SETS
All retiring stamp sets are available to order through June 30, 2010. Here is a flyer. (1 page)
LAST CHANCE DEFINITELY DECORATIVE
All retirng Definitely Decorative (also known as Decor Elements) are available to order through June 30, 2010. And these are now ON SALE for 25% off! Here is the flyer. (3 pages)
These are best viewed online, through my web site, Shop Now – select Last Chance, home decor. The Online site allows you can see all the designs, the various color options, and dimension/size details. (I recommend that you adjust the view to 80 per page rather than Show All.) For these items, the price listed is the sale price.
RETIRING ACCESSORIES
All retiring accessories are only available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST! Here are some things to note when viewing the flyer. (11 pages)
1) Being Reconfigured Column: Many items will continued to be offered in the next catalog. Since there is something about the packaging or assortment bundle that will change, it is only ”retiring” in it’s current form.
2) Discount Column: Several accessories have been discounted 25% or 50% off. An even better excuse to stock up!
3) Sold-Out Column: SU! has already depleted their supply on some items. SU! is updating this information daily for demonstrators so we can be properly informed. Don’t delay! If there are items you would like, you need to contact me or simply place an order online through my web site. Many more items will most likely be sold-out within the next week. I will try to repost updated lists every few days. Check the Last Updated date at the top of the first page to compare lists.
A few product notes:
Craft Ink Pads: ALL of the full-sized Craft Ink Pads in the 48 colors are being retired. Many colors will continue in the next catalog but, for the Craft Ink, they will only be available in sets of Ink Spots.
Ink Refills: Your ink pads will last for many years, if you have re-inks to keep them juiced up. Also, you can watercolor directly with re-inkers so they are great items to have on hand.
Ribbons: While many of the colors are continuing, several styles of ribbon are being retired. Check the list carefully and compare with your favorites.
Punches: Only a few punches are actually retiring. Most will be offered in the next catalog in the newer style (which is awesome, by the way).
Gold & Silver Inks: The Encore Inks are retiring. Make sure you have the refills to match your pads!
Sizzix Dies: The ONLY SU! exclusive die that is retiring is Tulipe (pg 198). The other dies may be offered at places where other Sizzix Dies are sold.
Pencil Sharpener: If you don’t have one, you need to get one before they are gone! Trust me, this the best manual pencil sharpener that I have used in years!
Wheels: The wheels are not treated the same as stamp sets. Just like the other accessories, they are only available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!
