I can’t wait to use them in my baby’s room, they’re absolutely perfect for her! I also can’t wait to get some time to actually use these things, since it’s been 6 years since the last baby I sort of forgot just how time consuming they can be!

    My favorite Sale-A-Bration item is the Good Neighbors stamp set in clear.

I have moved many miles from our children and friends and I think I could do a lot with this set to stay in touch.

  122. I LOVE the Whimsical Words stamp set, especially the clear version. The new scallop border punch is great too but still have to say that Whimsical Words is the best. Thanks for all the great ideas on your site!!

  123. Hi Mary – love what you do and so appreciate getting your daily dose of sunshine in my email box! My fav is the Scallop Trim Border – love it!!! Use it on all kinds of projects to dress them up. So glad they made it a sale-a-bration gift!

  125. Oh Mary, pick me!!!! I was so miffed that I could only afford one of the SAB last year and I really wanted the punch stamps but chose something else. This year is a little different in that I am hosting our group and have more time to save up! Anyway, I have to say it is a toss up between the scallop punch and the Whimsical Words. I love the font for the words. I, too, love your site and look forward to it daily. I have learned so much from your tutorials and just checking out everything. Keep up the great work, which I know you will! Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us.

  128. Scallop circle punch and scallop border punch (which btw isn’t looking so good….leaving lots of frays. And it’s my second one…any suggestions?) Use them both daily, it seems.

    Looking forward to the PPA tomorrow….by any chance would it involve a leprechaun?

  130. I’ll throw my hat in the ring and say I love the Birthday Bliss stamp set. “May your layers be many and your frosting be thick” has to be my favorite sentiment of all time.

  131. This is a hard one – it would have to be a toss up between Whimsical Words and the border punch. I have used them both already and love them.

    Thanks Mary! I love looking at your site for ideas and inspiration!

  132. My daughter and I were making cards and she said, “Mom, let’s see what Stampin’ Pretty has up, we need some help!” So we went to our FAVORITE place and got much needed inspiration (always do, you are amazing)and saw the Blog Candy & she said I had to leave a(1st ever comment…I am techno challenged) since March 13th is my birthday!!! So, thanks for the incredible job you do, you are truly an inspiration to my daughter and I, just wish I didn’t live half a country away, I’d be at your workshops in a heartbeat!!!

  135. So hard to choose a fav with all the great newbies! I LOVE the new design of the punches, LOVE the clear stamp sets and LOVE the font on the Whimsical Words set. If I were torn for a fav I’d say the scallop trim border punch.
    I love that S/U added punches & paper to SAB!
    Thanks for the contest and the chance to win some goodies – always loved the polka-dot punches but I don’t have it.

  145. Hi Mary! 🙂 I think my favorite is the Scallop Trim Boarder punch – how exciting that they are putting punches into Sell-A-Bration. Of course this year its going to be hard to pick just one or two.. as everything in the SAB catalog is gorgeous! Having my party next weekend, so I’m crossing my fingers that i’ll get to pick out 2 – one for my spending and one for my party 🙂
