$2 Million Party & Blog Candy
Today's video is a little FBF "Flash Back Friday" fun (and blog candy giveaway). Stampin' Up just sent this video they put together. It contains the highlights of my $2,000,000 party last year at the Stampin' Up! Mfg Plant in Kanab, Utah. It has been so fun reliving this milestone memory. I chose to have the celebration at our factory with the workers who make our products. This is where our stamps are made. While we were there, I did a video documentary on the people behind the stamps. You can read the full recap of our adventures on this trip below. Stampin' Up also made a very generous donation to Autism Speaks on my behalf. I'll share Rett Christiansen's letter below. The month previous to this party my customers and I had raised over $2,000 for Autism research and awareness. Stay tuned next we'll be doing it again! In April I will be launching another fun card kit to raise money in honor of World Autism Awareness Day / Month.CARD: Happy birthday card from the Balloon Celebration Stamps

February 24, 2019 by
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT RETIRING IN COLORS
One of the many awesome features of Stampin Up products is our color coordination. Everything matches, it’s like Gar-animals. Remember those clothes when we were kids? The monkey tags went with the monkeys, making it easy to dress your kids in matching clothes. Stampin up is like the Gar-animals of paper crafts lol. Stampin Up has 5 Color Collections: Regals, Subtles, Brights, Neutrals and In Colors. See the color chart below for the full collection. The In Color collection is a little different from our Core Collection. It's broken down into 2 groups of 5. Each year 5 of these 10 colors go away, and we get 5 new colors. It’s a great way to introduce fresh and trendy colors. The In Color Collections are named by the year they were introduced and the year they will be retired. For example the collection retiring this year is named 2017-2019 In Colors. They are retired with the Annual Catalog officially retiring June 3, 2019 (the date is marked on the back of the annual catalog). Once announced, these retiring In Color products will be "whiles supplies last" and often sell out quickly. See the video below for full details. RETIRING COLORS Head's Up I’m giving you this head’s up so you can start budgeting your purchases and collecting the In color products you want now. I recommend stocking up on ink pad refills and card stock in these colors now. This way you won’t have to worry about quick sell-outs and missing out on your fav colors. Some of these products will sell out within days of the Retirement list being announced. A full list of products containing these colors is on the "What you need to know" video, and also listed below. Combine with Sale-a-bration! Purchase before March 31 and combine with Sale-a-bration (SAB) and get free products. Click here for SAB details When will the 2019 retirement list be announced? Both the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog & the Occasions Catalog will be ending on June 3. The list of products that will be discontinued (not carried over into the new catalog) is called the "Retirement List". The official date of this year's retirement list release has not been announced, but it will most likely be in mid-April. I do not know what else is retiring yet. I’ll post this info as soon as it’s announced. Where can I find the Stampin' Up! catalogs? You can find the current Stampin' Up! Catalogs on my blog under the CATALOGS tab in the main menu. You can view them online, and/or request hard copies. Click here for CatalogsWHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW VIDEO
