More updated info

Hey Stampers,

I learned some more information for you. First, there will be 5 instead of 6 "In Colors" introduced in the new catalog and they will stay for TWO years instead of one. They will have 5 more new "In Colors" introduced next year as well and they will stay around for TWO years also. So, the "In Colors" will overlap making it so there will be TEN "In Colors" available at one time (starting next year with the introduction of the second set of "In Colors" of course!) This makes me very happy to get to have them for TWO years.

Now that a week has gone by since this news broke, I really have to say that I'm so very excited for the change. Summer can't come fast enough for me! I went through all of my current colors and decided that there are only 3 or 4 out of the 31 that I'm going to stock up a little on. I really won't miss the other 27 or 28 that are going away. In fact, I'm waiting until June before I decide to stock up on anything because I want to see if any of the "In Colors" will be close to those 3 or 4 that I like.

There will be a tool called a "Color Coach" that I want to invest in. Let me try to describe it to you. Basically there are a bunch of sample cards of the colors (kind of like going to get the paint sample cards at the hardware store) and on the back of each card it gives you a few ideas of which colors to combine together to make stunning projects. They come on a ring that you can remove so you can lay them out next to each other and see what appeals to you. I'm not sure how much the color coach will cost yet, but I will be getting one!

I will post more info as I learn it! Keep Stampin'!
