Welcome to the July Pals Blog Hop. This month we are featuring a New Hues Review. Let the new Stampin' Up! In Colors for 2014-16 inspire you – Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, Hello Honey, and Tangelo Twist. We hope you find great inspiration from our creations.
You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Peggy Noe at Pretty Paper cards number 21 on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.
In my opinion, this year's annual catty is over the top. There was very little I did not want to add to my Stampin' Up! collection. And that certainly includes the NEW 2014-2016 In-Colors. I was so excited when I learned we would hold an entire Blog Hop dedicated to these colors.
My first item is a pocket journal. I thought this was a wonderful addition to the Stampin' Up! gift packages. You can find the journals on page 200 of the catalog.
The journal measures 31/2" x 5 1/2" and can easily slip into a card as a little something to the recipient. I love paper and I love journals so this was a must on my first order. Isn't this cute? The "Don't Forget" and the arrow are from the What's Up? stamp set. The sentiment is from the Oh My Goodies stamp set and already a "go to" stamp set for me. The Don't Forget works as a reminder for to-do lists to keep track of and also a reminder to Live Well, Laugh Hard and Love Big. Life has a way of pulling me off center at times and this journal in my purse will be a great reminder!
I am showing off the unique accessory available for the new In-Colors on this card (as well as on the journal) – it is the Printed Clothes Pin! I was not quite sure how I would use them and came up with the idea of hanging my sentiment from it. It looks like it is clipped to the vine doesn't it? Simply fun.
My projects used Tangelo Twist, Mossy Meadow and Hello Honey from the new collection. I hope this got YOUR StampinMojo going.
The next stop is September Gray at Septembergray.com number 23 on the Pals Blog Hop! Thanks for visiting and I hope to see you next month.

Great ideas, Michelle! I love the journal, you can never have too many of those. The clothespin holding the sentiment on the card is adorable.
I love following Dawn on the hop because her comments are so spot on… Love the journal idea, Michelle!!
My favorite stop on the hop! Love how clean your cards look, and the color combos. Beautiful!
So bright and perfect for gifts! I am not sure what to do with those clothespins either, so I will keep your idea of it holding the sentiment in mind.
Love your projects Michelle!
You definitely put that clothespin to good use–and it definitely does look like it’s pinned to the vine–excellent!
I love those little journals as well, but had not thought to include them inside a card–duh! Great idea and projects!
Michelle, both your projects are darling! I especially love the vine with the sentiment clipped to it ~ so sweet!
Your journal is wonderful, but have to say that I was totally taken by your fabulous, plain and simple card…the vine and the clothespin holding your sentiment! Lovely!
Lovely journal! Thanks for sharing.
Michelle…like both your projects but my favorite is your card. I love the clean look.
