Paper lasts forever and I think the more colors the better!
I will get at least 2-3 packs of each. I love these colors sooo much I don't want to run out any time soon, I'll probably get some more reinkers too.
The In colors coordinate with standard colors so nicely, I know I'll be able to use them 'til they are (sniff) gone.
I do still have some of the older In-color papers but am hesitant to use them unless it is for something really special, I can't stand the idea of running out.
I really loved Baroque Burgundy and used a ton of it, a few years back (even though it wasn't an in-color) they dumped it. I didn't stock up on enough of it and now I am sad, I have maybe 3 sheets left and to date, there has never been a replacement that I like as well. I also used up (another dumped color) forest foliage reinker and wish I could get more.
Yep, if I love 'em, I'll stock up on 'em.

I've already stocke up on GG, WW, and PP paper and have all the reinkers. I still have some SS paper left; don't really use it enough to replace it. But you can bet I'm stocking up on some ribbon! I love the double stitched ribbon!
I'll buy 1 or 2 packs in the 3 ink colors that I did get this year. I don't go hog wild, but it's nice to have some to match non SU patterned papers from time to time.

I'm really on the fence regarding this one...I've had such a horrible time trying to find one of the colors I didn't get from last time...I really do love all of the in-colors now...so maybe I should stock up a little...but like so many of you, I'm sure I'll love what's coming out next and think I can't live without those too!
I have already bought a package of Soft Sky. I am really enjoying the Wild Wasabi and River Rock too. I haven't used much of Groovy Guava, Pomegranate and I already have waaaay too many blues...so I haven't used much of the Blue Bayou.... so my questions is....do I buy a pack or 2 of the mixed cardstock or do I just buy a pack of the WW and RR??? For me, it is about space and cost.
Last time I only bought a multi-pack and then totally ran out of cardstock and was stuck with all the ink pads and no paper to go with them. I've bought all the ink pads of these colors and don't want the same thing to happen....again.
Guess I just won't buy the new colors coming out this time so I don't have to worry about this next year!! I am not a demo, just love the hobby so that is not a worry for me!!
I think I have an extra pack of wild wasabi in my cabinet. I doubt I'll stock up. I love a few of the colors, I loved a few of last years.
I'm almost out of cool caribbean and it's breaking my heart. It's my most favorite color ever.
I'm way excited about the new colors though! I think the Real Red is a crimson looking red to me and I'm hoping that new red is a scarlet red. I like vivid tones. I just hope they are not florescent looking in person. If they are heavily saturated looking like in some of the pics I'll be thrilled.
I think the In Colors program is brilliant!

I will be stocking up on the Soft Sky and Wild Wasabi. Maybe some ribbbon, too. I really like this year's In Colors, but don't think I will need anymore than those 2 shades! I stocked up on Cool Caribbean last year and I still love it! I "ration" it and will be sad when it's gone!
Is it just SU demonstrators who have seen the new, upcoming colors? If not, where can the rest of us see them?
Mostly the demos...but now there is a thread about the new catty, and there is a link in that thread to the colors. Kind of *interesting* I think, lots of reds...HTH!

Nope. I did that last year and still have a stack of Cool Caribbean left. I really do use te in-colors like crazy all year, but when I buy NEW in colors, the old get sadly neglected!
What a great thread! First, I'm glad I'm not the only one that stocked up on a couple of colors from last year (and barely touched them since)! I was sure nothing could ever replace Cool Caribbean! Now...I love Soft Sky and I'm even more sure that nothing could replace it! Heheee!
I will most likely buy a couple of packs of Soft Sky and maybe one of Groovy Guava and River Rock (I have plenty left of the others and don't use them as much). River Rock is kind of a unique color...and when you need it, you need it! LOL!
However, I can completely relate to Denise...wondering where I'm going to store all of this. I have a small stamping space and promised (more to myself) that I would not expand...but limit myself to that area.
As for the new colors...they don't really 'grab' me right now...but I'm sure I will learn to really like some of them.
I will probably get at least one more combo pack. I really like these colors and wish they were available all time. It we be great if we could get markers to match in colors.

I still have a lot of left over in colors from last year that is collecting dust in my craft cabinet. The only retired color I seem to use once in a while is CC.
Once the in colors are retired very few cards are uploaded to the gallery using them so I loose interest and forget I have them.
Won't be buying any of this years in color cardstock this time around as I know the same thing will happen.
