Occasions Mini Catalog

Yesterday, we had our first Creative Saturday of 2012.  Our group has had over 123 meetups, so we have become our own little community of caring, fun loving, and creative women, who have much in common and much to share with others.

Watercolor Wonder is Back!!!!

(and so are the crayons! )

■ Water soluble and easy to blend, allowing for an unlimited range of shades
■ Coordinate with Stampin’ Up!’s exclusive colors
■ Artist-quality, highly-pigmented crayons
■ Available in color collection assortments
■ Contains 10 crayons per package (except New Color Kit which has 17)
■ Can also be used without water to color images
So why all the excitement about the crayons?
Stampin’ Up announced today that after a 6 month wait the Watercolor Wonder Crayons are finally back in stock and available for order.   An unexpected factory move by the supplier and the need to recertify for the expected Stampin’ Up level of quality among other issues has had many of us champing at the bit…and now, finally, joyfully,  all color groupings and the new Color Renovation Conversion Kit are available!   YaY!!
These little lovelies last a long…long…long…time!  And with the many uses and techniques available, using these little darlings is a frugal crafters delight. 
Here are your choices and order numbers. 

• 119802 Subtles
• 119803 Regals
• 119804 Brights
• 119805 Neutrals
