What do you do with 20 Years of Stampin' Up! pins?
June 18, 2015
More Celebrating...
20 years with Stampin' Up!, More Blog Candy Prizes, and a fun cork board project for you today!
So I had this "bright idea".... gather all my pins from Stampin' Up! events and achievements from the past 20 years, and display them on a cork board... I thought.. easy peasy.. spell out 20 and display it... BUT... when I started to lay out all the pins I quickly realized there were WAY more pins than I would need... so... I just filled in the 0 :) hee hee..
I'm missing all of my pins from the year 2011 (have NO idea where they are)... when I find them, and get my pins at the Stampin' Up! convention this summer for 2015, I'll have to figure something else out for all of those pins! Any suggestions?
The frame is a very light-weight wood frame from Michaels and I spray painted just the perimeter with some black spray paint I already had, then I cut down the cork sheets and glued them to the wood - thank you for everyone on Facebook who suggested the E6000 glue.. it worked perfectly!
OK, Now on to the Blog Candy Prize!!!
If you'd like to win this selection of 5 packs of retired In Color Cardstock, my gently used 5 retired In Color Markers and 3 retired DSP stacks, LEAVE ME A COMMENT and tell me your favorite In Color of all time AND how long you have been following my blog... There is no wrong answer, but I've only been blogging for 8 years... so hopefully you won't say 20 years :)
One winner will be drawn on Saturday, June 20 at 9pm PST
and announced on Sunday, June 21, 2015 here on my blog!

My favorite all-time in color is one of the current ones--Blackberry Bliss. I am a lover of all shades of purple, and this is one of the best! I have been reading your blog for about 7 years.

Have been following you now for many years and love all your creativity and ideas. My favorite In-color would have to be crisp cantaloupe. Thank you for sharing and keeping me motivated.

You have done an amazing job with SU. Congratulations! My favorite in color was Cool Caribbean! I wish they would make it a regular color in a color family. I have been following your Blog for about 2 years I think.
Posted by: Vonnie Wilson | June 20, 2015 at 12:40 AM
Cute display board, what a creative idea. Not to mention WOW to all the wonderful achievements. I think one of my favorite in-colors still has to be kiwi kiss. Something about that particular shade of green. Maybe someday it will make a come back. I've been following your blog for about 5 or so years and you are always an inspiration.
Posted by: Arlene | June 20, 2015 at 04:07 AM
Following off and on for a few years but steadily for a few months. Pool party would be my favorite in color. I love your pin display. Amazing.

I have been following your blog for two(ish) years now! I have a sort of ritual in the morning while I'm drinking my coffee and starting the day. There are four stamping blogs that I always look at for inspiration, and your blog is the first one that I look at each day. You have inspired several cards that I have made with your creativity, color combinations, and ingenuity. As far as favorite in-color - while I've liked many in the past - I am really enjoying the new Watermelon Wonder. It is gorgeous!
Posted by: Laurie Meier | June 20, 2015 at 04:51 AM
Strawberry slush is my favorite color. It works well
With so many other colors. Congrats on 20 years!

Posted by: Chick Alizadeh | June 20, 2015 at 05:31 AM

Posted by: Karen | June 20, 2015 at 05:50 AM
Midnight muse was a favorite - been checking your blog about 5 or 6 years. Congrats on 20 yr anniversary with Stampin Up!

It may sound bland but I love Crumb Cake. I use it all the time and it is such a great neutral. I have been following your blog for about 4 years now.
Posted by: Kathy O | June 20, 2015 at 06:43 AM
If I have to pick one favorite In Color color, it would be Wild Wasabi. I am so glad it made it into the Subtles Collection! I have been following your blog now for about a year.

Baja breeze!! I ha e been following you for about 3 years, when I started stamping. You are one of the very first I found!!
Posted by: kris k. | June 20, 2015 at 07:37 AM
I'm a new subscriber for you. I found some of your ideas on Pinterest and followed them to your blog. From there I subscribed to your e-mail.
My favorite In Color so far has been Strawberry Slush although I've been super happy wit the new Tip Top Taupe. Congrats on your big achievement!
Posted by: Vicki F | June 20, 2015 at 07:49 AM
Patty, my suggestion for your corkboard...when you find your 2011 pins, you could add an exclamation point with them. After all, that is quite an accomplishment being with Stampin Up for 20 years! One of my favorite all-time colors is Night of Navy. I have been following your blog for more than 2 years. Keep up the great ideas!!!
Posted by: Carol | June 20, 2015 at 07:53 AM
Congratulations Patty! I think one of my favorite in colors is the Strawberry Slush. I've been following your blog for four years, ever since I found out about the Stampin Up products.
Posted by: Delores | June 20, 2015 at 08:06 AM
I think my favorite was with the Printed Blooms paper and you made all those little note cards and things and it made great birthday cards. There have been lots though. Thanks a lot and once again congratulations on 20 years
Posted by: Amber Callahan | June 20, 2015 at 08:15 AM

Posted by: Connie | June 20, 2015 at 09:37 AM
Seriously? Pick a favorite color? Can't pick a single one, but when Green Galore retired I stocked up on so much of it that I'm still using it! LOL One of my current favorites is Blackberry Bliss. I've been following your blog since February of 2009.
Posted by: Sue Root | June 20, 2015 at 09:38 AM
I've only been following your blog for a few weeks, but love to see when it arrives in my mailbox! My favorite all-time color is Old Olive.
Posted by: Carole Gaines | June 20, 2015 at 10:05 AM
Hi Patty,
I must have found your blog when you first started it because I have been following for a long time. It is not an In Color, but my all time favorite color in the world is Old Olive. I am going to paint my new scrap room in it. I don't know what I would do if they ever retired it.

Posted by: Kris Dansereau | June 20, 2015 at 12:55 PM
I really loved the colors poppy parade and concord crush; Blackberry bliss is right up there too. Wow... How long??? 5 or 6 years. I like it when you make several cards from one sheet of DSP. Congrats on 20 years!
Posted by: Jan Chung | June 20, 2015 at 01:31 PM
Congrats Patty, I have just run across your blog and looking forward to checking it out! It looks like you are very creative. I am a beginner stamper and trying to be creative & looking for ideas on Pinterest. That's how I found you. I really like how you made such nice cards with the English Garden DSP idea. Thank you for inspiring me today!
Posted by: sherry | June 20, 2015 at 01:35 PM
My favorite colors have always been green and pink. Green being my most favorite! Congrats on your 8 years of blogging!

Cork board is great. Maybe you could turn them all into a coffee table!
Posted by: Mary | June 20, 2015 at 01:56 PM
Oh my gosh...long time. I think I first heard of SU in 2008 while doing a web search and your name popped up. I didn't realize what it was for a long time. I love all the colors but the first I bought was in the first in colors...Cranberry something. I think I am still hording a couple sheets just incase. Thanks for all the inspiration over the years. Congrats on 20 years! Vickie

Posted by: Susan Nelson | June 20, 2015 at 02:56 PM
Hello and congratulations. I have only recently found your spot, and like many, many of your ideas! My favorites, notice that "s"; are rich deep colors. 1) Rose Red goes with everything and every season 2) Blackberry Bliss-so gorgeous 3) Coastal Cabana-I do love the blues 4) Forest Foliage-such a deep rich pine with blue undertones. Thanks so much.

I only just recently signed up to follow your blog by email but I see your posts on FB and have been checking those out for about a year. My Mom is always linking to tutorials of yours in the attempt to help me increase my card making skills...so I feel like I've been following you for at least a year!! (and that's a good thing!). My favorite In-Color was Wild Wasabi...which is now part of the regular color collection...yay!

Love following your blog. Great way to present 20 years. Fav color is Crisp Cantaloupe.
Posted by: Sue C | June 20, 2015 at 08:04 PM
Let's see, I guesstimate that I first found you around 2008-09. Favorite color of all time? It's a toss-up between Lavender Lace and Strawberry Slush. I'm usually a purple person, but the more I think about it, the more I like Strawberry Slush!
Love your giveaways -- they make me think!
Posted by: Joyce Spear | June 20, 2015 at 08:18 PM
My favorite color is rich razzleberry

Posted by: Betty Reider | June 21, 2015 at 07:25 AM
I know what you can do with the pins when you find them and with the new ones -- extend your cork board to make an exclamation point! What an accomplishment! Congratulations to you!
My all time favorite color is So Saffron -- can't get enough of it and I should probably be getting a new pad and marker because mine have been so well loved and used.
Posted by: Tami Black | June 21, 2015 at 08:07 AM
My favorite color is not quite navy - it is very versatile. I've been following your blog for almost 3 years now and just love each and every post!!
