Just going to have to buy the numbers for my grandkids play room. BUT.....to have the alphabet running across the top of their play room-would be ADORABLE. Thanks for this AMAZING offer. Count me in. Kadie Labadie/Madison, Wisconsin

Congratulations on your 14th anniversary with Stampin' Up!! That is very impressive! I'm anxious to try the Decor Elements and am thinking of getting "family" or "Live Every Moment" first. Although...I REALLY like Kadie's idea of doing the letters around the playroom. I might have to do that, too!
Posted by: Julie Davison | June 20, 2008 at 06:08 AM
Congrats on 14 years! My faves are the create definition and the live every moment. Can't wait to get them!

I love the long stem silhouette too (that is the one on the cover right?)
I like the create for my craft room and may have to do that.
I hope they come up with an "Always Kiss me Goodnight" next time for my bedroom...:)
Congrats on 14 years. You have built an amazing business. Do you do it full time? If yes did you used to work full time at something else? I have one year in and admire the business that you and other "stamping stars" have.

Hi Patty! Marilyn from Texas here - I love all the new decor elements - can't wait to get my preorder!!! Ummm - hard to decide which is my fav until I get them in my hands, but I have a whole wall full of family pictures, and I want to put the Family wall art there. I also loved the flourishes too.. and the create.. I guess those would be my top three!!
Posted by: Marilyn M | June 20, 2008 at 07:05 AM

Oh wow!1 Congrats on 14 years!! I'm super excited about the decor elements. I have only ordered two so far... and I wanted to get something that I was sure my customers would see.... so for my stamp room I got the Create and happiness. However, I am going to get a bunch of individual letters and spell out some nice words like "welcome, enjoy, family, happiness, comfort, etc." for our foyer and the stairwell to the main floor.

My fave (do I have to just pick ONE!)
is....the Flourishes one - I've been wanting to buy something like "scroll" like for my living room to accent above my double doors to the patio, but I haven't found anything "real"(metal) that I like and that is affordable. So I'm ordering this set to use and it's great b/c we just painted our room Ornate Gold with Chocolate trim. I'm excited! I love several other pieces in the collection as well and will be ordering those too LOL!

Very cool concept. Have to pick a favorite? I suppose it would be "Live Every Moment", although I'd love to put the "Create" definition in my craft room. I also liked the Flourishes, so it's hard to pick one favorite. Love getting your blog and pictures of your gorgeous flowers. Congrats on 14 years with SU...that's awesome!!
