Color palette for Stampin' Up! colors

Hello,
I am so happy to have 2 people (Jacqueline and Shelley) in my downline as Stampin' Up! demonstrators and want to support them as much as possible.
We used to have a tool that helped with matching colors, but it has been retired so I decided to make a Color Palette of my own to share with Jacqueline and Shelley.  I remember when Patty Bennett gave me one when I joined Stampin' Up! back in 2003.
I ordered some packs of 8-1/2" X 11" paper from each color family:  Soft Subtles, Bold Brights, Rich Regals, and Neutrals.  Then, I cut each sheet of paper in half and then into 4 pieces.  
They are 2-3/4" X 4-1/4"
 I sorted them by families, punched holes in them, and used a binder ring to attach them all.
 I printed up all 40 colors and the Color Family they belong to on the Avery Label 5267.
What do you think of the Color Palette? Perhaps I should add in the In Colors?
Thank you for checking in!

My next card class is July 18th from 1-4pm!!

Hope you can join my class on July 18th from 1-4pm.  You will make a total of 6 cards, 2 of each design for $15.00.
Email me to let me know you want to attend so I can have enough materials for you!
I was inspired by this video, Crazy Pop up Fold Card with Deb Valder, to make this card.  Here it is closed.
 This is the card untucked from the candle circle holding the embossed top part.
 This is the card all the way opened, with a white inside to write on.
And this video, Leeann Greff's Folded Corner Card, inspired me to make this card. I used the Sprinkles of Life card and Tree Builder punch with Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive cardstock.
 The inside also has a layer of Old Olive and a caption.
The third card was inspired by this video,
Angie Leach's Sheltering Tree Pop Out Swing Fold Card.  I used Rose Red and Wild Wasabi cardstock and ink.
 Here is the Wild Wasabi card opened up.
 Here is the Rose Red card opened up.
Hope you can join my class on July 18th from 1-4pm.  You will make a total of 6 cards, 2 of each design for $15.00.

My light box to take photos!

Hello, 
I was trying to take better pictures for my blog and saw some videos on light boxes, and I watched Wendy Cranford's video on her set up and was inspired to build a light box from the Stampin' Up! 12x12 white board that comes with DSP.  
See how the box looks as it is set up?
 I just took 3 sheets of the cardboard and taped them together into this configuration, with the writing on the other side.
 And I LOVE that it folds up conveniently when I am done, so I only take it out when I need to use it.
Here is my set up with the light above my desk.
 I place my items in the box.
 And this is the result...what do you think?

Thank you for checking in!
Sharon
