Those of you who were in Scouts(Boy or Girl), should remember the old song, “Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold!” That little tune went through my m mind when I was doing this card. The 2014-2016 In Colors have been incredibly good friends over the last 2 years. But I had to introduce them to a new friend from the 2016-2017 catalog, Marquee Messages! I got this stamp set free while attending Stampin’ Up! On Stage 2016. This funky little stamp set will be available June 1 when the new catalog debuts. If you are on my Stampin’ Up mailing list, look for a copy in late May.

You can sign up by clicking on “Contact Me” above and filling in the information requested and adding your address in the comments section. You will be added to my mailing list!
Now, back to the story about old friends vs new friends. I used some of the 2014-2016 In Colors for this card. When the catalog retires May 30th, these colors along with many of the stamp sets will retire. I hate to see these colors go. And the DSP used in this card, Farmer’s Market was used to decorate my kitchen the last 2 Thanksgivings! But I have stashed some away to use again and I will hang on to my In Colors for a while. I love them all too much.
But I am very excited about new stamp sets and the 2016-2018 In Colors! Keep an eye out for some future posts using these fabulous new colors! And the new stamp set you are seeing in this card is just one of the many great new designs in the catalog. I have to say the new catalog coming up in June is one of the best Stampin’ Up has done in a long time. It really blew me away when I saw it! And I know I probably say this every year, but this one is great with a lot of different looks. Don’t forget to sign up for my mailing list. I would not want you to miss getting this catalog!
