This is a perfect example of a stamp set I LOVE, but one that I often overlook. It was one of the first sets I ordered last year when the catalog made it’s debut, and  “My Friend” is one that will also carry over to the new catalog (yippee!) Maybe I’ll challenge myself to use it more than once in the coming year-lol.

Unfortunately, it’s almost time to say goodbye to a classic color that has been a staple in stamp rooms across the country: “Certainly Celery”. But don’t feel completely abandoned, as it’s cousin, Pear Pizzazz (former In Color), will be returning in it’s place. And yes, I believe it will still coordinate nicely with Perfect Plum and Rose Red 🙂

Another element on this card that’s scheduled to depart is the Manhattan Flower Embossing folder (seen on the larger butterfly).

This is one of the three cards we are stamping tonight at my monthly Card Class. Cost is just $5 or FREE with a $15 merchandise order. Which means, it’s the perfect opportunity to grab any of the items listed on the Retiring Lists before they are gone gone gone.
