August 2014 - Cinema Collection

Today is the premier of our newest collection . . . Cinema!

A Note from Tricia
In full disclosure, we are literally obsessed with Retreat. It's always the first round in August that requires an exceptional level of focus from every team member. We're even dreaming about it! Our days are filled with wrapping gifts, double checking supply lists, loading pallets and placing final touches . . . all in the midst of shipping the Cinema collection. The loading dock has been a busy place, and it's fun to see the culmination of so much effort fall into place.

If you're not able to join us for the on-site Retreat, you won't want to miss the Retreat in a Box. It's a phenomenal way to enjoy workshops taught by the same instructors while you work at your own pace from home. Reserve your box today!

Meanwhile, the website team is working feverishly on our total renovation. We've checked in on the progress, and the updates are fantastic.

What's Ahead?
The Blueprints theme recommended by CS member Jodi Brewster is already in full swing. Jacqueline is putting finishing touches on artwork slightly reminiscent of a very popular collection from the distant past . . . Architecture (April, 2002). The color palette is warm and inviting, as it should be!

Kit and Color Details
It was impossible to settle on just one font for this versatile collection, but we narrowed it down to three common styles from the vintage movie era. We used Verve, Bebas Neue, and ArtBrush.

Color	R	G	B
Wine	R138	G89	B121
Aqua	R192	G226	B238
Stone	R180	G173	B167
Metallic Gray	R127	G119	B116

Orchid, Lagoon, Ash and India Black are terrific ink color selections to coordinate with this month's paper collection.

Tomorrow we'll take a closer look at the fourteen layouts and fifteen cards created with your new Cinema kit.

Enjoy the show!
