This challenge was great fun! I spent a lot of time looking at my first SU catty 2006-2007 to decide just which stamps to use. I have almost no SU stamps left after a stamp room purge several years ago, but I did have some stamped images of the Tree For All Seasons. I still have all my background stamps including the Cross hatch background. The Cranberry Crisp colors were the very first of the In Colors group. I was strictly SU when I first started stamping. Then my friend, Kim Leach, introduced me to several other companies. SU is my main Christmas stamps choice though.

Love how you used the Tree For All Seasons stamp set and that crosshatch stamp. And all off the different c/s with so many from the past! Wow! You really used some older things!!

Terrific card with all four seasons. I still have that set and I loved how you used the different trees. I have that background stamp, too. Excellent choice for your card. Great idea to use the retired In Colors. Wonderful blast to the past! Fun card. TFS

That's a classic set. I have a friend who has made special cards for a group of friends using it, and I had fun making her a little gift using it for Christmas last year. It's looking great here!

What a lovely card this is showcasing all four seasons. I was tickled to see how you matted each season of tree with a different color. Very nice coloring of each of your images too! ~Karen.

Just the fact that you still have the old catalogs is a blast from the past! Thanks for sharing.
