new colors!

Hey everyone!  

I'm jumping on here today to share with you some fabulous news!  

Remember when we introduced the 2010 limited edition colors?  These colors were only available until December 2010...

These are some of my very favorite Creative Inspirations colors. Apparently a lot of you felt the same way... We have had SO much interest in these colors even after they were discontinued, that Molly (the owner) just told me she has decided to add them to the permanent line up!  YAY!

April 1, 2011, these colors will be available for purchase here. If you are interested in buying locally, contact your local scrapbook store and let them know that you want to see Creative Inspirations Paint on their shelves. We'd love to talk to them! 

*Retailers click here, or email us here*

Burgundy 

Denium 

Beige

Ivory

Burgundy is a deep red-violet. Denium is a dark muted blue. Beige is a creamy light brown. Ivory is a soft off-white.

I'm SO excited about this, and I hope you guys are too! These are beautiful colors!

Thanks Molly!

drum roll please....

Hello all my wonderful friends!

Today I've got some exciting news about upcoming changes....

1. Starting October 2, we will have posts EVERYDAY here on the CI blog!

2. You will find fabulous inspiration from a different DT member every Monday- Friday!

3. Monday Inspiration is being moved to Saturdays... you can still expect to see techniques there!

4. Sundays will be..... Challenges!

A little info about the challenges...

When? Each Sunday, a new challenge will be announced. The challenges close Friday night at 7 PM Eastern Time.

Who can play? These are free for everyone to join in. You DO NOT have to use the Creative Inspirations Paint, but if you do, you will get your name in the drawing twice.

How do I play? Use Mr. Linky at the bottom of the current challenge post to link your blog post, or online gallery to our site. Please make sure you are linking the blog post that contains your challenge project, not just your blog.

Can I still play if I don't have a blog or online gallery? YUP! Send a picture of your project as well as a brief description (including the names of the CI paints you used if any) to ci.shimmer.paint@gmail.com

Are there prizes? YES!!! At the end of each month we will have a random number drawing of all the participants from that month (remember, you will get your name in twice per project if you use the CI paints... this means if you play all 4 weeks, and you use the paints, you would have your name in the drawing 8 times.) The winner will be announced the first Sunday of the new month, and they will get 5 jars of paint in the colors of their choice!

Well, there is the basics... I'll put all this info on a tab this weekend.

So, now what I'm sure everyone has been waiting for..... The new DT!
