Have I got a SCOOP for you...from the 2006-2007 Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog. About this time of year, SU! demos (and customers alike) start anxiously awaiting the retirement list...which is given out May 1st. Then shortly after that, we all begin pacing the floor (and the walls sometimes) waiting for the big brown truck to bring our new catalogs. I don't have any info on the retiring stamp sets, yet. But I do have some info about the new catalog. Okay, I've kept you waiting long enough...

The new catalog (available July 1st) will be offering...drumroll please...new colors! Now it's not gonna be like last time where color families are discombobulated, colors are added, colors are taken away, colors are reformulated. It's not like that this time...thankfully, because I just finally collected a good stock of papers and inks in the newly added (last year) colors. This year there will be six new colors that will be in addition to the ones we already have. The names are as follows: True Thyme, Marigold Morning, Cranberry Crisp, Vintage Violet, Buckaroo Blue, and Cool Carribean. Once again, these are additional and are not replacing any existing colors. So now we just all have to wait around for a few months until we can actually see the new colors. That, combined with the anticipation of the retiring sets and new incoming stamps and accessories is enough to drive a stamper crazy!
