NEW Colors Wallet

     If you RSVPed, attended my open house last Saturday, and placed an order with me, this was the special gift you received:

This is the outside of the wallet.

 

This is the inside pulled out to see all the sides.

This is the back inside cover - a wish list.

     I got the idea from Renee and Tania HERE, and from Card a la Carte HERE.   These ladies are amazing!  What they come up with is wonderful.

     Now, I need to tell you that I did NOT purchase the tutorial they are selling.  My dear and wonderful husband figured out how to create the wallet.  I don't know if it's exactly the same way as these wonderful ladies created it, but I like how mine turned out.  If you goto Renee and Tania's website, you can download the sheets that are in the inside.

       I also used the Flower Trio punch and punched a card stock sample of each color and attached it to the top of each page.  Each page is a color family, plus a page for in-colors and a retired page.  Now you will notice the top flower is missing.  I don't have all the colors yet :O(  But I will get them, eventually.

     This is a GREAT tool for keeping track of all the color items you have: markers, ink pads, ink refills, and paper.  Everyone who received one, LOVED them.

     I will admit, they did take time to make, but they are well worth the time and effort.

Happy Wednesday!

     Exciting news:  Today Stampin' UP! announced that there is a NEW Color Renovation!  What does that mean?  That means they have done a color over-haul.  Have I kept you in suspense yet?

     I have a bunch of these retuning colors and I'm really excited that Stampin' UP! brought them back~Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze, just to name a few.  I plan to get these colors out again and use them.  If you have forgotten how wonderful they are, I hope to remind you.
