Heartfelt thanks is the one I'd have to pick as my MOST favorite, but that doesn't mean it's the only one I order, right???? I narrowed it down to 6 for the first order: the others were Computer Quips, Happy Occasions, Wonderful Weaves, Cheesecloth, and Elegant Inspirations.

I've been wanting "Artifacts" since the first sample appeared in the gallery, so I'm sure that will be on one of the first orders I place. Others I really like include:
~ Heartfelt Thanks & matching wheel, Watercolor Joy
~ Santa Post
~ A Quiet Life
~ Wonderful Weaves
~ Houndstooth
~ It's Your Birthday (I used the first set so much I was glad to see such a great replacement!)
And since no one else has mentioned it yet...I don't know why, but I'm finding I really like those "Knobbly Gnomes" and I'm not usually one for such whimsical images. But hey -- they're a lot cuter than that one from Travelocity. ;)

#1 Little Pieces...can't stop dreaming of ways to use this set, and gotta get that 1/2" punch to go with it.
#2 Whimsical Alpha
Those are gonna be awesome! My must-haves for sure!
Heartfelt Thanks - like above, I have many flower sets but "have" to have it (love the wheel with it also); next favorite is definitely Farm Fever. I can't wait until someone gets sick. Heehee.
I can't believe no one has mentioned swell news!! I've been waiting for a pregnancy set for years. I've either had to (gulp) buy a card or try and make something I was never thrilled with. Also, Little pieces. I want the plain dot to use with good times...I think it will work nicely together.

"I like the Some Like It Hot set but am having a bit of trouble in seeing a bikini bottom with no top. Are we supposed to make our own or go topless?"
Too funny! My downline and I talked about that image. She wasn't sure if it was bikini bottoms, but it's the snowcone bottom. We got laughing that it actually looked like a speedo and that maybe "Wilson" might want to wear it!
Sorry for the hijack. My favorite set are Gorgeous Grapevine and the new Ronald McDonald set. But I will have to buy Loads of Love and the accessories--those dogs are just too darn cute!
I've poured over this catalog for days and like several others who have multiple flower sets Heartfelt Thanks and watercolor joy wheel are at the top of my list, along with the Loads of Love accessories, Autumn Leaf Prints and two background stamps, the Print Pattern (like the Harlequin) and the Fine Lace.
But now that you've looked at all the stamps check out all great color combos in the demo cards as well as some fab techniques.
I'm thrilled at the spots can also be purchases in the craft inks now too!!

I finally got my catty late last night and have spent hours and imaginary $$ today. I think my fav are Knobbly Gnomes and Wisecracks. I love the non traditional stuff.

My favorite set is Natural Beauty on pg 136. It replaces my old fav. Botanicals.
I can't wait ti try stamping on the clear buttons with Little pieces on page 171.
My absolute favorite trend on this year's catalog are the kits. On pg 213 Pockets & pieces. On pg 214 the accordion books & Saddle stitch book kits. Can't wait to use the Word window punch on pg 218 with the new BG Word by word on pg 174 & Expressive Flexible phrases on pg 191. I'm a scrapbooker and all of these are a must for me. Love the new catty but my economy is going downhill. LOL ;) ;)
Love "Do the Hula". Don't need it or really know how I'd use it, but I love it! The sample in the catalog is selling me I think. Great colors on that card.

Happy stamping to all you Splitcoasters who inspire me each day!
I like "Do the Hula"--always was in love with the islands....and I also like "Classic Pickups" to go with the cars set that came out last year (and discontinued this time around!) ;)
..Forgot to add....along with clowns..gnomes SCARE the heck out of me!

Little Pieces is sooo going on my next order. I also just love Word by Word and Frolicking Frogs. Lots of summer pictures that one will work with.

Yeah, Wilson in a speedo! Or how about stamp 2 snow cones for the top and the snow cone bottom for the bikini part? That would work!!!!
I tried to take a nap today shortly after seeing the catty for the first time and I kept seeing pictures of the stamp sets while trying to snooze...crazy huh?
My faves so far are:
Loads of Love (and accessories)
Little Pieces
The measuring tape wheel
Making Tracks wheel
Label Classics
The set with the Birthday sayings (one's a square w/"HB" in it, one's a belated bday greeting, etc.)
Aged to Perfection (although I'm trying hard NOT to buy this one since I already have a lot of vintage-y type stamps)
Heartfelt Thanks is my fav so far, but Natural Beauty has caught my eye, pg. 136. I really love the word stamp. The flowers and leaves are really pretty. I am not much for the bird and the butterfly is okay (just my 2 cents), but love the rest!
I can't wait to earn Haute Coutre!! My demo let me play with hers this past weekend when I went to help her make her convention trades. She let me borrow it overnight to come up with a card idea. I can't post that one because she is taking it to convention. But I just love that set!

When I looked at the background stamps I didn't think I liked Floral - after looking at all the samples in the catty I'm officially converted. I think it's gorgeous.

Why did she make things? Well, she enjoyed it, of course; it also somehow helped her remember who she was and where she came from.
Little pieces...talk about a set you can have fun with!!
It's a Cheer Thing...I was a cheerleader in a former life and this is the FIRST cheer related item I can use for my scrapbook pages in my All About Me book. Allthe other cheer stuff is stickers (don't use 'em) cutesy or just plain ugly! Way to go SU!
I think that Heartfelt Thanks is my number 1 fav, but there are a couple that are very close behind like All About U, Natural Beauty, Do the Hula and Word By Word. I think my 1st order will include all of these. <blush>

OMG! I didn't even see that! I was hoping they would come out with the craft spots and even looked in the catty for them and didn't see them. When I saw your post I had to look again. I will definitely work on getting them. My favorite sets are Heartfelt Thanks-will be my on my first order Flower Filled Do The Hula Some Like It Hot On Gossamers Wing Loads of Love and Accessories Petal Prints Print Pattern BG Crosshatch BG And of course all the new colors of paper and ink I'm sure after everyone has started uploading on scs my list will get longer. There are so many sets that I really didn't like until I saw what y'all could do with them.
