38. First of all Mary, thank you for a wonderful blog. I look at your blog at least 3 times a week. What an inspiration! Now, what would I buy with an extra $50 the balance of the satin ribbon that I do not have.

39. If I had an extr 50.00 to spend I would buy Pedaling Past. It is not what I would normally buy but it looks like a fun set!

40. If I had an extra $50 … mmm, I’d get the motorcycle stamp, Pedaling Past, and tons of satin ribbon! 🙂

41. First of all, I have to tell you that I posted my first comment ever, yesterday although I have loved visiting several blogs for two years. You always have the most innovative, creative, fun “stuff” for me to see and to be honest…copy! So thank you (very late) for sharing so much of yourself on your blog. Now on the the question…if I had $50 to spend…I would buy ribbon, ribbon, ribbon. Love the SU ribbon. Thanks.

42. I didn’t get any of the builder wheels and accessories so I would spend my $50 on those. Sure hope those are in the new catty.

43. Oh, fun! Satin ribbon, Bitty Buttons, the Square Lattice Embossing folder, the All A Flutter stamp,

44. I would have to get the punches and then the motorcycle stamps. Love your website.
    Thanks

45. If I had an extra $50 to spend, I’d go for the Itty Bitty Bits (clear) stamps, Bitty Buttons, & coordinating Punch Pack. I’d also go for the Island Oasis DSP and Chalkboard Decor Elements and then round it out with some of the 5/8″ satin ribbon. As usually, my wish list exceeds my budget, but that’s what keeps me going to order more next month!
    Thanks for your daily inspiration and for the chance to play along with your pals for a chance to win some really cool blog candy! You Rock!

47. Thanks for your daily inspiration, Mary! I would invest $50 in a table top cutter. Then I would cut, cut, cut all the DSP I’ve been collecting. I think it would be fun to have some basic cuts ready to go “SNAP!” with all the Mojo sketches. Enjoy the sunny weekend! lorijane

50. Easy I would buy Bigz Die-Island Floral, all the smooch spritz colors, Presto patterns specialty DSP… It’s really bad with me as I can never just buy $50.00 worth of prodcuts. To let you know your blog inspired me when I first started and all the Pals Paper art demonstrators was like finding a world of great stampers.

    Mahalo!
    -Carmel

51. Great card…Love the color choices….Lot’s of contrast! That $50 bucks would go towards the Tropical Party set and the Bigz Die and DSP!
    Mike

    If I had $50 extra dollars to spend, I would you buy Mostly Vintage (9.95 – decor stencils), Sentimental Journey Stamp Set (23.95), and I’d love to try the Smootch Spritz’s Silver Foil($4.95) and Vanilla Shimmer ($4.95), and Curly Chalkboard Labels (5.95) -all from the current Stampin’ Up! Summer Mini Catalog.

53. oops… i did it wrong.

58. For $50 I would get:
    Presto Patterns Specialty paper
    Sweet Scoops
    Island Floral Bigz Die
    Did I go over $50? Of course, that’s so easy to do!

59. Wow! That’d be tough with only $50.00! I’d have to say that I’d purchase the new punches with the coordinating stamp set to begine with. Then, I’d go for the new ‘spritz’ goodies!

60. Lots of satin ribbon…so decadent!

61. Oops, forgot what I’d buy! I guess the list is too long! I’d get the tropical stamp set and paper too…actually if I had the $$$ I’d probably buy MOST of the stamp sets in the mini.

62. Oh, that card is so cute!! Bermuda Bay is one of my favorite colors; I wish they had kept that one. If I had another $50, I’d buy more designer series paper and all the smooch spritzes, and a bunch of the chalkboard elements.

63. I would love the tropical collection..the die cut flowers to the stamps and paper..I love it all!

    nicoletugrul(at)yahoo(dot)com

64. I love your cute, cute card and will miss Bermuda Bay.
    If I had $50 I would buy the whole collection of Builder Wheel products.

65. ooh $50-lets see…i think I’d get the bitty bits & buttons & punches and ribbon for sure! thanks for sharing your beautiful card and for the chance to winAA!
    hugs,
    ELizabeth

66. I’m so sad to say Bermuda Bay go, I’ve been loving it! Fabulous card, but I must say that the coordinating mini is the cutest…lucky winner in my opinion!

67. I would buy the clear-mount block bundle, Bitty Buttons ajd the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch pack

68. I would buy the Bigz Die,designer album,island oasis paper

69. I love dreaming of stamping up products! I would buy the lattice embossing folder, ALL of the smooch sprays, and all of the satin ribbon. I have a problem with ribbon–an addiction really. So, thank you for your projects and the chance to win!

70. I’d buy the whole Tropical Collection – stamps, paper, favor boxes and bigz die – awesome set!

71. Definitely a couple packs of the Presto designer paper and every color of the satin ribbon. Gorgeous! ;o)

72. hmmmm… some more of the clear blocks, some Presto paper, and the shimmer spray.

73. I would buy the clear mount Elements of Style, clear mount Itty Bitty Bits, Bitty Buttons and the Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack. Beautiful card as always! I found your blog a few months ago when I was signing back up to be a demo again. It has been very inspirational and keeps me going and thinking creatively. I look forward to the emails every day!

74. I would buy the Punch Pack, Bitty Buttons, Itty Bitty Bits, and Rough Type. Maybe a Smooch Spray, just to try it.

75. Let’s see I would get with my 50.00 well I think the Punch Pack, Itty Bitty Bits and buttons, and all or most of the Smooch spritz. I am going to miss Bermuda Bay too, I loved the cool, crisp clean look of your card. Thanks for sharing this lovely blog candy with all of us.

76. It is very hard to keep it under $50, lol. But I would chose the Go, Graduate stamp set. I love the different styled shoes that everyone is wearing, they’re universal for all types of cards, as a group or as separate feet. I would also chose the Favorite Thoughts set, nothing wrong with a woman with strong opinions. Finally with the left over I would get the King of the Grill set, which who wouldn’t need a grill set for all types of male cards. Of course, I’ve gone over but I’m the first to admit I have a problem . . .:O)

77. I love the simplicity of the card with the matching envelope, beautiful. The $50 question was more difficult! July Fourth and In a Word clear sets, All a Flutter and the Square Lattice embossing folder was easy, but the last $10 would be either Island Oasis DSP or the log cabin and vanilla shimmer smooch spritzes. There I get stuck!

79. Your lovely card just adds to the reasons why I’m almost in tears about Bye, bye, Bermuda Bay!
    Wow, thanks for the $50 to spend, Mary! It’s going for Presto Patterns and the journey paper, and build-a-wheels.
    Oh, it’s just pretend, virtual money?!
    That’s OK, because you have a lovely gift for us every day with your gorgeous cards and all the secrets about how to design and make them! I appreciate them so much!

80. If I had $50 just to blow…it would be on something I havn’t tried yet…like the charms…that would be fun!

81. $50.00 wouldn’t get me everything, but it would be a great start! I’d go with the Punch Pack and Buttons and of course the Island Floral paper and stamp set. Probably the new 6X6 album to go with it too!
    Cheri

82. $50-00 extra would be amazing I would then have to buy In A Word, Bitty Buttons, Itty Bitty Bits, Punch Pack and All A Flutter I think that would make me very happy. I love your work you are such an inspiration.

83. Mary, love your projects and your blog. I would spend $50 on Presto Patterns DSP, two packs, that stuff is awesome, the Graduation set and some builder wheels and cartridges.

84. Your card and envelope are the best – as usual. I love your web site and visit on a daily basis. $50 would include the Island Oasis DSP, party favor boxes that match and the BIGZ Island Floral Die, and the Tropical Party clear stamp set (I think I’m over – oh well).

85. I agree with you, Mary. I would also buy the Simply Adorned Bracelets & Charms to make into gifts for my 5 daughters (2 are married to my sons). If I added more money to the pot I could also create for my 8 granddaughters (2 are married to grandsons). Then there are………………. Well the list gets too long to mention here. I love all that you do. I am very proud to be one of your Pretty Pals.

86. Mary, I would purchase designer paper and the embossing folders. Always makes for a quick coordinated card and texture. Thanks for all your lovely samples. Your blog is always one I check for inspiration.

87. oooo….what would i buy with $50 dollars???? i would buy lots of accessories – i {luv} buttons, brads, robbons, glitter….oh my!

88. What a great question!

    I’d have to have the Stampin’ Around builder wheel spindle, all the new builder wheels, and the Watercolor Trio. Or maybe the Favorite Thoughs set. Oh – don’t forget the July Fourth and Red White and Blue sets! See, this is why I have so much trouble. I can’t just keep it down to $50!

89. Bigz die Island Floral and some of the new wheels. I love them

90. Mary, I adore Bermuda Bay and will miss it- your card is just wonderful! Love the sleek white and bermuda together and your use of that stamp set is so fun and just perfect! I’ve already spent over $50 out of the Summer mini, but if I had $50 left to spend I’d get several rolls of the Satin Ribbon in various colors!

    PS- I’m thoroughly enjoying this blog hop and fond farewell- love seeing all the SUO projects! And amazing blog candy too!

91. Hi Mary,
    Thanks for always having such inspiring card designs on your blog. I check almost daily, yet very seldom comment. $50 wouldn’t cover everything I still want in the Summer Mini!! LOL

    First, I would get the Tropical Party stamp set and Island Oasis DSP. Next, I would borrow money from you to get the itty bitty stamp set and punch bunch. And of course i can’t let the summer gop by without the July 4th Stamp Set. then there are the vintage tags, i still want, and the Sentimental Journey stamp set…and…see what I mean? $50 is not enough! I’d have to get a second job to buy it all!!!

92. I would stock up on retiring paper like Baja Breeze and Rasberry Lemonade.

93. With 50 dollars I’d buy the Itty Bitty stamp set, the Itty Bitty punch, Smooch Spritz (that’s really fun to type!!) and some satin ribbon!

94. All the new wheels and spacer system….then “blissful bride” for my youngest son is soon to be engaged…and I think I’ll need that set!!

95. I would get all of the wheel builders, Go,Graduate, and the tropical set!! It is so hard to choose just a few!!!

96. I would get Itty bitty stamps, buttons and smooch spritz. Paper and paper and more paper.

    Love your work!!!!

97. I would absolutely get the Island Oasis designer paper with the Bigz Island Floral Die. Then, I’d have to have the Tropical Party stamp set – LOVE THAT COCONUT! Then I’d have to spend my own money to get the new stamp wheel 😉

98. Wow, what a great question Mary!

    Here’s my list:
    In a Word (clear mount)
    Presto Patterns Specialty DSP
    Watercolor Trio (clear mount)
    Square Lattice Embossing Folder
    Log Cabin Smooch Spritz

    That’s a bit over $50, but I’d pay the extra. 🙂

99. i have the itty bitty stamps and punches so i would get the buttons and some smooch spritz watercolor trio, and some cordoroy buttons.

100. Well with an extra $50 I would get…designer printed album, tropical party, designer series paper, and some of the smooch spritz. I have an engagement album that I need to work on and the theme was a Luau… that stuff would be perfect!!

101. Lovely envelope and even lovelier card! I love the clean style! TFS!

     If I had an extra $50, I’d buy the Floral Island Bigz die, matching DSP and the stamp set! It’s on my agenda, just not fast enough for my liking!

102. Let’s see….what would I buy. The BigZ die and maybe the itty bitty buttons. Moving on to the texture folder and the list could go on. Thank you for being a daily inspiration.

103. Love your card. I always enjoy visiting your blog to see your pretty cards! If I had $50 I would go for as many of the stamps as I could which would be Itty Bitty Bits, Watercolor Trio, Blissful Bride, and Go Graduate.

104. Wow! $50- I would get the Bigz Die and the Textured plate and the new punches! I love those little buttons too! But I would probably get them after I got the others! Love your Site Mary! One of my first stops everyday! Thanks for all you do!

105. I would buy smooch spritz, the presto paper back and (the name leaves me) but the stamp set that is perfect for scrapbooking school pages.

106. Let’s see….if I had an extra $50 to spend in the summer mini, what would I choose???? I’d have to start with the stamp set “Elements of Style”…so lovely! Then I would pick the set of 3 mini punches on page 11….followed by the “Motorcycle” stamp on page 31! Such great stuff in this mini 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy!!!

107. Oh what fun to dream of spending an add’l $50 – I’d purchase more Bitty Buttons, another color of 5/8″ satin ribbon, the mini vintage tags (so versatile), Bigz Die Island Floral, and the birthday block.
     Your card with the bitty punches and matching envelope are adorable. Thanks for the tutorial!

108. If I had an extra $50.00 I think I would first get the Textured embossing folder because it is so versatile and then I would go with Tropical Party stamp set and Dsp which is really good for summer party invitations and favors.

109. Wow, I’d purchase lots of designer papers!!!

110. Island Floral Bigs Die would be it! Only $50…. boy I would love to buy more!!!

111. Gorgeous… and one of my very favorite colors. I would buy the Lovely Letters Alphabet Stamp Set. Love it, just don’t think I’d use it that much, to spend that much money. No BC for me though. Hugs, Carla

112. First and foremost, I would get the new punches, Bigz dies and embossing folders because you can use them again and again!!! Then I would want all the accessories and papers to match them!!! Love your work, thanks for sharing!!

113. I would order the Island Floral Bigz Die, Tropical Party stamp set and the Island Oasis designer paper. Love those items. [email protected]

114. I wasn’t sure about the itty bitty set and punches at first, but after seeing your blog and the many ways you have used them, I just have to have them. But after the bits, buttons and punches I would still have enough to try out the specialty designer series paper. It looks like lots of fun and something very different.

115. If I had $50.00 extra to spend in the Summer Mini I would get 2 Simply Adorned Bracelets and 2 Charms. I have never seen them and would like to try them out. A roll of Very Vanilla 5/8″ Satin Ribbon, goes with practically everything, and looks so yummy. Another package of Bitty Buttons, just love how tiny and cute they are, and that would leave me with $2.00 left over to make a worthy cause donation. Not much, but it helps. Love your card, the Bermuda Bay always looks so crisp against the white. Thanks for the excellent Blog Candy, and chance to win.

     Cyber hugs, Trish in Wisconsin

116. Oh my…..If I had an extra 50.00 to spend on items from the summer mini I would buy the Island Floral Bigz Die as Iam wanting to sign up to be a demonstrator before the end of June(aewsome start up kit) and have plans to buy the Big Shot first thing.

120. I would spend the $50 on the itty bitty stamps, buttons and punches. They’re so darling! Love your card!

121. WELL, I have already ordered a bunch from the summer catalog, but if I had an EXTRA $50….I would get some of the Build-a-Bear dies and paper to play around with. I think they are so very cute but just haven’t invested in them yet. I’d love to play around with them though.

122. Wow…that’s a tough question..but I think I’d get some of the charms to play around with. I have a couple of customers who love to do altered jewelry..so that would be something different to do. I usually don’t splurge on things like that..

123. If I had $50.00 I would purchase some of the Simply Adorned Charms since I don’t have any and would like to try them.

124. Simply Charmed and one smooch spritz spray. Love your card (as usual) so clean and classy! Thanks for sharing your talents and candy. MJ

Anyway, I gotta get the Favorite Thoughts for the Eleanor Roosevelt quote, one of my all time favorites. Then, I think the itty bitty bits with the buttons and punch would bring it to around $43. I would love to have the lattice folder too but that brings it a bit over $50. But, then again I love the July 4th set and the Red,White, and Blue wheel too – just give me the $50 and lets see what I would order! Just kidding! Thanks for all your great help!

198. Ooh $50 – what could I get – I would go for some of the clear blocks – need to get those stocked up for all the wonderful new stamp sets coming in the new catty.

290. I would purchase myself a Simply Adorned Necklace Chain and a Charm to go with it. (Both of those items have been on my wish list for way to long.) Then with the left over money I would buy another ‘Motorcycle’ stamp so when the one I have now is all old and worn out and no longer sold by Stampin’ Up! I will have another one on hand 🙂

If I had $50 extra dollars I would get the First Day set since I just graduated as an elementary school teacher, along that same line I would get the Go,Graduate set… they are both so so cute… some day they will be mine. That First Day set could do so many awesome things in the classroom!!

305. Love your card. So tropical.
     I would buy lots of paper, never have enough.
     Oh, and maybe a Big Shot die.

306. First off, I absolutely love this blog. It totally revs upy creative engine. I’m new to all of this and at first felt overwhelmed and that I wasn’t creative enough but your blog has helped change that. I now also find myself constantly forwarding this blog to my friends to help them be more creative!

     Ok now to the fun part of pretending I had an extra $50 (ish in this case 😉 ). It’s hard to decide where to start but I think I would get the DSP on pg. 15. I would then get the smooch spritz (all 4) and the color catcher to go with it. And then I would get the watercolor trio stamp set in clear.

     This is making me wish I really did have an extra $50… 🙁

307. I would buy more dies for my Big Shot (Butterfly Die and the new Textured Embossing Folder) or the Travel Journal DSP & the Specialty paper or maybe more stamps! BTW-Love the card with matching envelope.

308. I would buy more sizzix dies. Thanks for a chance to win!

309. I would buy Lovely as a Tree (I know, I am crazy for not having this already) and Embrace Life since it’s retiring! Thanks for the chance to win!

310. I would buy the clear blocks and then buy more ribbon, can never have to much ribbon……….love your cards Mary……..

311. Hi Mary! I would buy more of the sizzix dies, I have the butterfly one, but would love some more! I think that would take up the entire $ 50.00! Have a great day!

312. I would buy lots of Presto Patterns Specialty paper. It is so much fun to work with.

     Thanks for the chance to win!

313. I would buy all the tropical products! Then I would throw a party! I LOVE your blog so much. It is so full of great ideas!

314. I would get Watercolor Trio clear mount, and spend the rest on ribbon! I am a sucker for ribbon!
     Love your blog, and your card! 🙂

315. I would buy Simply Adorned small square and circle charms and make beautiful wine glass stem tags! I had my friends and family over for dinner and our wine glasses got all mixed up (this happens all the time!) so I thought about using the Simple Adorned small charms as a way to individualize everyone’s wine glass!

316. I would for sure buy the clear mount blocks… I have some of them but not all of them!

317. Great question: I would love to try the Presto paper and the cogs punch. I’d also try the related Tropical Party Bigz die. [I passed on that so far, but may be I will try some of these items down the road.] Fabulous card as usual.

318. I’d definitely get the First Day set and the Sentimental Journey set. And then I’d buy the Chalkboard Decor Elements. Too much fun stuff to choose from!

319. Hmmm. Let’s see… I’d get Go, Graduate, for sure! And then I’d spend the rest of the $50 on satin ribbon. Yum!!!

320. Clear-mount blocks and the ribbon. I love the 5/8 satin ribbon. I visit your blog each morning with my cup of coffee. Thank you for your time and love of card making. It shows in all your work.

321. How fun to dream and wish! With $50 I’d get the new Big Shot die, Presto paper, Pedaling Past, Watercolor Trio, Birthday Block … oops, I think I spent more than my $50 lol

322. What wouldn’t I buy!?!? Actually, the clear mount blocks would be so handy and I just love the Pedaling Past stamp set, but a real splurge would be ribbon!

323. So many answers! For $50 I would probably purchase all the new Assorted packs of color groups and/or punches, more than I have!
     I do love the card, Bermuda Bay is one of my favorites, I bought a pack to have on hand. So sorry to see that one go….Looks like Taken with Teal will be the next go to for Bermuda Bay!

324. The bright summer products! The Bigz Island Floral, Party Favor Boxes, Island Oasis DSP and the Tropical Party Clear Stamp Set.

325. I love this card and i LOVE your blog! I can not remember how I found your site but I so glad I did! This card is so crisp and beautiful! Too bad this color is retiring!

     If I had an extra $50, I would buy more sentiments stamps (phrases, greetings etc…) I just started making cards again and I realize I don’t have hardly any phrases to pick from! 🙂 So I would purchase that and maybe a punch to make it stand out more vs. just my circles and squares. 🙂 thanks!

326. I would get some of the big dies.

327. How would I spend $50.00? So many things I want…. ! I would by the Favorite Thoughts set and the Itty bitty
     bits set, button pack and punch pack. Any money left over I would buy a Satin ribbon. I love this mini catalog!!!

328. I would buy ribbon and clear mount blocks 🙂 But the stamps are great too, hard to choose.

329. I would get dies for the Big Shot. The Butterfly Die, Lattice Die, Two Tags Die, Basket and Blooms Die….oops, guess I need more than fifty dollars for all of that! Thanks for the chance to win some fun blog candy.

330. More triple cell ink cartridges. Having fun with the one I have and would like more color combination choices.

331. If I had 50 dollars to spend from the mini I would get the wood based sets of Elements of Style and Watercolor Trio Stamp Sets.

332. Extra $50.00? That will be SO wonderful in real life : )
     I would like to get all 4 of Smooth Spritz, that leavs me $30.20…
     Then I will add the Extra Large Cogs Double Punch, so I now have $12.25…
     I can get “Favorite Thoughts” clearn mount OR one of the Simply Adorned charm….
     Wooooo, love to have the extra money : )
     Thanks for the chance to play & win!

333. by the way, one more thing, I LOVE your blog

334. With $50 to spend on SU goodies, I would most likley get the Tropical Party Stamp Set. And then I’d hold out till the new catalog gets published and begin adding the new colors to my stash 🙂

335. I would buy more clear-mount blocks, some build a wheels, and A Little Bit of Magic stamp set. Hmmm may have spent more than $50. Thanks for a chance to win.

343. Thank you Mary for the offer. I would buy more of the 5/8″ satin ribbon. I love it! Have a great weekend!

344. I am so going to miss Bermuda Bay! Out of the new mini catalog, my “first” pics would be Sentimental Journey (love, love, love this set!) and then Favorite Thoughts. I do so love sending flavored teas through the mail to all my friends, and the sentiment about women being as strong as tea – oh yeah – that stamp would get a LOT of ink!! Bermuda ink! Thanks so much for this truly fab-u-lous giveaway. Hoping the planets align and I’m lucky enough to be chosen. Thanks so much, Mary!

345. I would get the presto paper, elements of style, smooch spray, Oh the list could go on and on

346. If I had $50 to spend, I would have to spread it around. There are so many fun stamp sets in the mini catalog. I think I would purchase the Favorite Thoughts, A Little Bit of Magic, the Birthday Block, and the Happy Grad inspiration. Thank you for the chance to win.

347. I would stock up on the retiring papers and ribbons. Esp. Bermuda bay. I love that color.

348. I would get In a word, King of the grill, Favorit Thoughts, the motorcycle stamp and some bitty buttons.

349. $50 huh? Well since I already bought the main set I wanted (Elements of Style) I would buy some of the accessories–like some of the paper that is in there. And the bitty stamps with the bitty buttons. And I love Bermuda Bay! I bought two more packs of the paper when i saw it was on sale! A gorgeous blue that I will be sad to see go….sniff sniff!

350. Decisions, decisions! If I had an extra $50 to spend I would want the Elements of Style and Watercolor Trio stamp sets. Oh, the fun I could have with them!

351. That’s an easy one, I’d buy Elements of Style (clear), Watercolor Trio, and the Cogs Double Punch, and if I had any money left over, I’d buy more satin ribbon.

352. Since I already have everything I want from the Summer Mini I guess I would save the $50 for the next catalog coming next month. Love your blog!

353. Paper!! I love all SU! paper….I use it for more than just cards. I wrap small gifts with it, make gift tags, envelopes…and so much more!

354. OOH I’d buy the ‘sweet scoops’ & ‘island oasis’ paper 🙂

355. I’m a ribbon fiend so I would stock up on all the Satin ribbon! But can you really only spend $50? 🙂

356. Bermuda Bay is such a gorgeous color, I will be sad to see it go.
     As for your $50 question…I too would splurge on the itty bitty bits set, buttons and punches. They are so cute!!!

357. Love the card! The clean simplicity but detailed card is an inspiration! My $50 would go towards a big shot and the new texture die in the summer mini! I have been wanting a big shot for quite a while, and each new mini increases that with it’s new temptations.

358. I would buy the blocks too as I have most of everything I want from the mini catalog. Everything looked really really cute.

359. Thanks for your inspiration. I have been eyeing the vintage travel set with Sentimental Journey stamp set and Travel Journal paper. The possibilities seem endless with that.

360. I just love Bermuda Bay and am sorry to see it retire. If I had an extra $50 I would buy First Day stamp set, my youngest granddaughter starts Kindergarten this next school year. Then I would get Herb Expressions the card possibilities for this stamp set are endless. I love your blog & like so many others I HAVE to check it out every day your card creations are great. Thank you!

361. Favorite Thoughts, Watercolor Trio, Rough Type, Elements of Style, Sweet Scoops, Pedaling Past, Square Lattice Folder….wait, that’s a lot more than $50!! It’s a big decision!! 🙂

364. I would get the First Day set and some of the builder wheels. All so much fun…..Love all your card ideas…..so talented!!!

     Thanks for the chance to win your blog candy package.

366. Mary, I love your blog, your creations are always wonderful. If I had the extra $50, I would buy the watercolor trio stamp set, more itty bitty buttons, and the colors of satin ribbon I don’t have.

     Thank you for sharing your talents!

367. For sure I would buy the Itty Bitty stamp set, matching little buttons and punches. I wanted to buy them at my Super Stampers meeting last week but had to opt for a couple retiring sets. I’d also buy “In A Word”, the square lattice embossing folder, and the a la carte Motorcycle! Just the thought makes me all giddy!

368. Oooh…fun question! I would choose each of the a la carte items on the last page because I think they have so many possibilities and are a great value. I would also choose the Island Oasis DSP…can’t have too much paper!! 🙂 Thank you for the opportunity to win some blog candy! I always look forward to getting updates from your blog!

369. With $50.00 dollars…..Sizzix, new in color cs and new ribbons….OH MY!!!!

370. I love this card! It is so simple, yet looks so classy! I would also buy paper, the Isaland Floral Bigz Die (yes, I can’t believe I haven’t bought it yet either!) and then braclet charms for the girls in my daughter’s wedding.

371. OMG — with $50, it’s hard to decide, but my decision would definately have to be the charms but then … I already have the Itty Bitty Stamps and punches, so I love, love, love your card, now I need the bermuda bay ribbon … but I would also have to say you can never have too much ribbon, I’d also order the satin ribbon! Thanks for the opportunity to win!!

372. I love the “First Day” set, “Designer Printed Album” (the green one), and “Favorite Thoughts.” Oh, love the “Chalkboard Decor Elements” as well! Love everything about today’s post!!

373. Oh for me it would be more paper, more paper, and more paper…all in the Island Oasis and cordinating colors..well maybe buy 3 of the mini wheels…(don’t have any yet, but do have lots of paper..) decisions, decisions….

374. I would buy the itsy bitsy shapes along with the coordinating punches and also the new tropical paper.

375. Love your blog; I check in everyday! My extra $50 to spend would be on everything to make the On Board Travel Book located on page 22. We went to Florida to see the Blue Angels and I would love to put those pictures in there for my son. He loved taking pictures with my camera and did a great job too (his 6yrs old) and I know he flip to have a book of his pictures. If there’s anything left over, I would love the all Smooch Spritz’s.

376. I would buy all of the Bermuda Bay line because I didn’t realize how pretty it was until I saw your card!!

377. Hi Mary,
     I would buy the Simply Adorned bracelet and one of the chains and some charms!

     Thank you for your inspiration…I always look forward to receiving your emails!
     Cindy

378. I have to agree with you on the simply adorned charms and bracelets. Totally rockin’ gifts. I hadn’t thought of using the Itty Bitty Bits in them – thanks for the inspiration. Great card – I love Bermuda Bay and White together!

379. Hi Mary, thanks for the beautifully simple sample. I love the Bermuda Bay, and will be sad to see it go. But, I can’t wait to get my hands on the new Marina Mist! I’d definately get Elements of Style, the specialty paper, and the large cogs punch with my extra $50. Thanks for a chance to win the awesome blog candy!

380. So hard to choose from so many wonderful things, but first on my list are the Simply Adorned large square & rectangle charms and the Red, White & Blue wheel along with the July Fourth clear mount set!

381. If I had a spare $50 to spend, I would buy the Tropical Party Stamp set, and 3 packs of the Island Oasis Designer Series Paper, as well as a pack each of the coordinating cardstock. Okay, so my math would make that more than $50, but it would be worth it. Last year I turned 40 and we threw a heck of a party with a tropical theme. My order would be perfect for making a wonderful scrapbook to commemorate a wonderful day surrounded by my friends and family.

382. I will miss bermuda bay!! great card!
     I would buy tons of the travel suitcase chipboard and make albums for family going on vacation this year!
     TFS!
     Vicky

383. Well I really like the watercolor trio-have seen the most beatuiful cards made with this set and the masculine designer paper along with the square lattice ef-both would be so perfect for masculine cards-whew that’s a lot for $50!!

384. No question about it…I would buy paper, and $50 would let me be a little more frivolous. Thanks for all the creativity you share!

385. Love the card! I would buy the presto paper, all the smooch spritz, and the builder wheels. Thanks for the chance to win!

386. This is a hard one as I already bought most of the items from the mini! But, I was holding out on the Itty Bitty Bits, Buttons and the Punch Pack. Those are definitely next on my list, along with the Presto Patterns paper. I’m loving what I’m seeing with that paper. Thanks for the look at your fabulous card and the chance at some great blog candy!

387. Would have to be a hefty deposit down on My Digital Studio. Can’t believe I haven’t bought that SU software yet. Thanks Mary for sharing yet another fabulous card creation.

388. The Punch Pack and Bitty Buttons and coordinating stamps. I like the contrasting colors you usually choose.

389. I would get more acrylic blocks and itty bitty buttons..
     hugs
     Darlene-Joy

390. I like your idea of the simply adorned charms. I haven’t gotten any yet…that would be a great way to start. Adorable card!

391. If I had $50, I would get the Itty Bitty stamp set, punch pack and some of the island paper. The whole catalog is very nice, so it makes it hard to just pick a few.
     Thanks

392. That’s such a difficult question! I want it all! My absolute fave in the book is Elements of Style. But I think with having summer on my mind … My extra $50 would be all the Tropical products. It makes me want to have a Hawaiian Luau Party. Just love them! The Bigz Island Floral, Party Favor Boxes, Island Oasis DSP and the Tropical Party Clear Stamp Set. Love them! I also love your Bermuda Bay card! It does pop against the white. Clean and fresh looking! Thank you for inviting me in everyday to see all your beautiful creations!

393. I would buy more ribbon & Big Shot dies! Gorgeous card!

394. I would buy Elements of style in Cling Mount, the Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Favorite Thoughts in Cling, and a spool of Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon. Did I stay within my budget???

396. Love your style SO much, and today’s card is adorable! I would spend and extra $50 to get more acrylic blocks and DP. There’s never enough $$ for SU stuff!

397. I look at your cards every morning for that early smile I get! I will totally miss bermuda bay, one of my favs! I would buy the itty bitty stamps and punches, something I do not have and you use them in ways I never thought of!

398. I love your cards! I, too, will miss the Burmuda Bay! I would buy more Stampin’ Up ribbon if I had $50.00 extra dollars! Thanks for the opportunity to win some blog candy!

399. I would buy 5 pack of the travel journal paper. The best scrapbooking paper I have seen in quite a while and perfect to use for clubs, as everyone can choose a piece of dsp that reflects their journey!

400. I would buy more dies for the Big Shot. I don’t have enough! Thanks for the chance to win.

401. Hi Mary,

     If I had extra $50 to purchase I would by the Sentiment Journey stamp set (so cool for scrap booking), Elements of style, Rough type font, tropical stamp pad…

     They would simple be great tools for my summer trips and project

402. I would purchase the stamp set Blissful Bride (2 of my 3 sons just got engaged), Tropical Party and island Oases paper, the square lattice embossing folder and the wheel Red, White & Blue (for my son who’s in the Navy cards) I know I went over my 50.00 LOL :0)
     thanks for asking.

403. Your card is wonderful, simple and clean. If I had an extra $50 I would get all the 5/8 satin ribbon.

404. Hi Mary! I just love your hop card. So clean and cute. Those bitty bits are adorable and I need to break mine out and use it! XO

405. What a fun and inspiring hop. Thanks. I would spend $50 from the current mini on Itty Bitty bits, the punches, and the mini buttons. Every dime on those!

406. Gorgeous card and I can’t wait for the envelope instructions! If I had $50 to spend on something in the mini, I would get both packs of Designer Series paper and the new Bigz die.

407. With an extra $50 I’d buy every color of satin ribbon. I love ribbon! I use it on every project I make.

408. I would get the blocks as I don’t have any yet and have been using some I acquired a long time ago….they are a mess and have hard, sharp edges. The SU blocks are so much nicer to hold! Thanks for the chance to win – that card is gorgeous!

409. Bermuda Bay is one of my favorite colors. It was ooooo versitile. BUT…. the Polka dot ribbons are my absolute FAV! I LOVE the polka dot ribbon and will miss it terribly.

410. I would get another Block Bundle Set.
     They are fantastic! I have my nieces
     over to craft and extra blocks would
     come in very handy when we all want
     to use the same one! Love your artistic
     eye! Thank you for the chance to win
     some blog candy.

411. That’s an easy question! For me it would be the Itty Bitty Bits Stamp Set and Punch Pack.

412. I would buy all the satin ribbon. I am addicted to ribbon. I think a girl can never have too much ribbon.

413. Love how simple your card it! Just Beautiful! If I had $50 to spend I would buy Everything listed on page 8 & 9. Since I am a new demo I do not have any of the Stampin around wheels yet and this would be a great way to get my collection started. My Favorite Stampin Wheel on page 9 is so many stars 118620.

     Thanks and happy hopping!
