Wow…it was so fun to read the color choice that you all had and trust me, John and I had FUN working together (after we watched the VOICE) and I called off the names and he was priceless and said “There is a ton of TTT and MM’s” and then when we are all through the comments and emails….he looked at me and said –
Now what is a TTT and what is a MM??? 🙂
I just had to burst out laughing as I just told him it would take 5 minutes and I was rambling these initials….then I say – silly you~ it is Tip Top Taupe and Mint Macaron! (he is sooo patient) Let’s do the happy dance for Barb E as she was the random winner!!! 😀
You picked a WINNER, Watermelon Wonder is a fabulous color and I will say that it has not been until the last 6 months that I really, really appreciated and used it a bunch! Please email me, and let me know if you want a pack of that color or if you would like the assortment pack!
Now to my pick….WOW – this is soooooo hard as I find that I learn to “appreciate” the colors throughout the 2 years. I know that this sounds wonky but maybe I am on that Island again by myself…but at the beginning – it was HANDS DOWN Mint Macaron but as of lately, I have been a HUGE Delightful Dijon fan.
I know that this is on totally different spectrum but I will say that the Dijon has been touching my heart because of its warmth and also it is a fabulous color for the oh so hard masculine cards that we make!
It seems to take me time to warm up to using the In Colors and then once I have them done….they get retired – anyone else out there on this island!
I think it all has to do with the DSP that are offered throughout their time frame…I know because I love the DSP Tasty Treats, I have been using the Watermelon Wonder a BUNCH…I adore the DSP Urban Underground…so the Dijon has been a biggie for me and then the Mint Macaron…oh sooooooo special!
Trust me on this one – these colors WILL sell out once people start to see the calendar spinning closer and closer to May. Please do not get disappointed and be without a stash….heck – it is paper! I cannot tell you how many email I have received asking if I have a stash of Coastal Cabana (I think that is the right name) that was retired years ago….
Guess what? I learn from YOU…and one thing that I learned is that there are a BUNCH of you that really love Tip Top Taupe! With that said YOU have encouraged me to give it some attention as I obviously have been missing out of the beauty of this color.
Watch for future posts as I will give it a whirl! Enjoy the day….brrrrrrrrr and oh so windy – we lost internet for several hours but all in all – we are good to go! See you tomorrow and many thanks for your feedback and inspiration 😉
Congrats to Barb! Poor John…I am sure there are plenty more “stampin” words spoken that baffle him. You could make a cute booklet of cheat sheet words for him. LOL! Chris R. and Sonny could come up with some of their fun quips as an extra bonus! Enjoy this frozen day. ☃️
So true…so true! He is a true saint and one that is a true “keeper” – He gets a kick out of what we all do!
Congratulations!
Keep warm and cozy.

Yay for Barb ! I like WW a lot too ! I agree with you, Susan that using our DSP gets me into the In Colors more . I have Blooms and Bliss and as a result I am down to some strips only of MM ! I have a graveyard of beautiful In Colors from the past ! Riding Hood Red , Close To Cocoa , Baja Breeze and on and on ……
Last ,but not least ….wonder why that chicken is celebrating Chicken Dinners ????
THANKS FOR THE LAUGH….I agree – that is one silly chicken if he is happy that he is going to be DINNER! I have no idea was RHR & CTC are…but I bet they are beauties….I just LOVE paper!
The problem I had in the past was not having an ink refill for my ink pad! Don’t forget to get those, too!
GREAT TIP and THANKS – I will blog about that as this is another thing that we forget about. I will say, when I buy an ink pad, I purchase the refill…..
Congrats, Barb! We dodged a bullet with the snow and I am so grateful it was a one-day wonder and I had a clear calendar for yesterday! It all worked out! Have a great day!
Yay, Barb! Congrats on snagging some in-color fun! Loved reading all the comments of everyone’s favorites.
I agree…it is interesting but it is FUN!
Congrats Barb E!
Oh Sonny, I had to smile – I never understood why that silly chicken is celebrating chicken dinners either. Now, if it was Phyllis we could say it was the hair dye! As I was reading I was going what is TTT and MM myself, honest. I was just discussing basketball NCAA and NIT brackets and all with Ginger and my physical therapist (PT)and was thinking more on the lines of sports. He had to check with me to see how I was doing as he was really working on the Achilles tendon yesterday and hoped I could walk today! My local demo doesn’t get the ink pads for the in-colors and we just use markers or if there was a ink spot in a PP we use it. I am like Susan, by the time I have warmed up to them, they retire. Maybe they all go to a really colorful island to live out their lives until all we have left is a memory of the color. Goes to show how much I know, I was using Close to Cocoa on a moose and thought my pad was getting really kind of dry I had better get a refill. Well, I guess that is out. Maybe I will add another brown color of ink and make my own color – maybe Latte? Gee, I wonder how many ink pads I have that are retired. I am sure I have lots of retired colored cardstock. I know always living in the past…….
I hear you and I will say….who cares if they are a discontinued ink….just make sure that you have the re-inkers. If you have some from the past without the refills…..let me know – I can do a search and rescue for you!
You make me laugh about the LINGO….GWIC…..(Get With It Chris)
Congrats Barb! Today’s post had me giggling to myself. Love when John gets involved.
If you only knew what that saint does for me…the peeps and the animals! BEST blind date one could have!
Congrats to Barb!!! I am like you on that island and finally start loving the in colors about the time they retire. I love to have a stash of old colors though so there you have it…..my secret is out…. I hoarde Stampin Up paper because it is the best!!!!! ?
I’m impressed how MM has taken the lead by a landslide. Congratulations to Barbara. Now then… let’s guess what the new colors will be.
I can hardly wait….any guesses?
A big Congrats to you, Barb!! I just get used to one set of new colours and now have to set my sites on the new ones to see what I like best…LOL.
