How's your social distancing going these days? Some of you are in more urban areas but many of us are in more rural areas where social distancing is the norm! I'm spending lots of time in my stamp room, going through some old stuff, catching up on some Paper Pumpkin projects and having a generally relaxing good time with this stamping hobby. Stamping therapy is a good break from whatever stress you have in your life and it's a welcome distraction from the news which hasn't been good for awhile now. Hopefully all these efforts will result in success and we will be back to normal life soon - that's what I'm praying for.
One thing that popped up on my radar was the fact that this is the time of year where we get ready to retire certain Stampin'Up! products to make room for the new Annual Catalog which will be coming out in May and ready to launch on June 3rd. Every year, a set of In Colors retire and I wanted to remind you of what will no longer be available in June. Often, these colors sell out quickly so now is the time to stock up if you need anything. I have a couple of pictures to show you to remind you of the colors. I made these cards from color samples I made when they first came out in spring 2018. I've enjoyed their presence in our color palette and will miss them when they are gone! Just to jog your memory, they are :
Blueberry Bushel
Call Me Clover
Pineapple Punch
Grapefruit Grove
Lovely Lipstick
Here's a pic I made from my samples. I used the "Rooted in Nature" glorious tree and then turned all of them into thank you cards. Sharp eyes will note the matching card stock, DSP and ribbon!
Here's a close up if you're curious about my card design. It's pretty obvious and not too complicated.
So, what specifically is going away? All the card stock, ink, refills, markers, Designer Series Paper, ribbon and buttons that are made in the 2018-2020 In Colors. If you have a favorite or two, I highly recommend stocking up soon, at least by mid April, to be able to get what you want. Once an item is sold out, they will not replace it because these colors are retiring anyway. In the past, there has been a bit of a run on card stock and ink, just FYI. What's your favorite? Mine is Blueberry Bushel, followed by Lovely Lipstick. I am okay with Grapefruit Grove and Call Me Clover but never became a big fan of Pineapple Punch. How about you?
I've listed some supply pics/codes below so you can get to the store and see what's there. Here's another link that will work well:

Thanks for stopping by! Keep up the stamping and check in on your friends once in awhile to let them know you are thinking about them. Sending a card is even better!
Happy Stampin',
Sarah
