Now that you’ve seen the new color collections, you probably have a favorite color—or several—that you’re sad to see go. But look at the bright side: with any
retiring product, you make room for new and exciting product! And you have from now until June 30 to stock up on card stock, ink and ink refills on your favorite colors before they are gone. After June 1, it will be while supplies last, so don't wait until the last minute to get your favorite colors!

Our fantastic new color collection will be available to everyone in the new 2010/2011 Idea Book and Catalog July 1. If you are a Demonstrator, you have the opportunity to order them June 1! Not a Demonstrator yet? Find out more benefits of joining my team here! I'd love to have you join me!
