On To Adventure at the Country Club

When a new catalog comes out with lots of great new products, one thing I like to do is see how I can use the new stuff with the older stuff. Today’s card is an example of that. I used the Country Club Suite (from the new Spring Mini Catalog) with the On to Adventure stamp set (from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog.) There’s a golfer image in the On to Adventure set, so it goes perfectly with the new golf themed suite. This is a perfect “congratulations on your retirement” card for someone who plans to play a lot of golf.
