Blog Candy – another reason to stalk the mailman
June 25th, 2007
To help ease the tension of what seems like an endless wait for some for the new SU catty I have a little Blog Candy to offer.
This fun little package includes: 2 studio g clear stamp sets from Michael’s plus one acrylic block, a set of 26 fun floral epoxy stickers, a roll of pink patterned Sweet & Sassy ribbon, my very favorite tiny flower punch, and assortment of white chipboard flowers and a super fun assortment of all sorts of primas.
To enter to win this package please leave a comment with your name on this post telling me the one thing you most hope to see or look forward to seeing in the new SU catty – you’re *ONE-absolute-TOP-can’t-wait-to-see* thing! One entry per person please. This post will be open for comments until Wednesday 6/27 at 8:00pm PST. The winner will be posted Wednesday night or Thursday morning – so be sure to check back.
I have been asked by several people to explain more about the Build a Brad set in the new catty. I have to say that sometimes our catalog is just a little short in the explanation/description department, but I’ll tell you what I can. For 9.95 you get a set of either Antique Brass or Pewter brad bases and acrylic bubbles (24 each) packaged in a nice little tin. Using Designer Paper or a stamped image, punch out a 1/2″ circle to build your own brad. The picture of the set is quite small. I am guessing that it is something like those 7Gypsies bracelets so many of us have made, but I’m not certain. I am a brad-aholic though – so whatever it is I know I need it!
I had hoped to stamp today, but it just didn’t happen. I did however sort some more of my retired stuff deciding what to keep and what to sell. Oh and I thought about stamping – does that count? Hopefully I’ll have a creation to share in the next day or so.
Thanks for stopping by and good luck in the drawing. 🙂

Thanks again Jami for posting a pic of your “messy” desk. I think from the things that I’ve read so far is the birthday set where you build your own picture. I’ve been eyeing Eat Cake for a while and was waiting to see if it was going to be cut. I almost bought it the other day, but now this other set sounds intriguing!
June 26th, 2007 at 3:28 am
Oh! Thank you, Jami. The thing I am most anticipating in the new catalog is the Build a Brad thingy, so thanks for the explanation of it. I can’t wait to see one! Thanks for the Blog Candy offer.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:30 am
I really want a cute animal set to come back since the others were retiring for the cat and dog. Thanks for offering blog candy to help the wait:)
June 26th, 2007 at 4:03 am
how fun, Jami! The one thing I look forward to a good dog/cat set
June 26th, 2007 at 4:32 am
Hi Jami…I love your blog. Thanks for sharing all the new catty info. I’m looking forward to seeing any new masculine sets! Really I can’t wait to see it all though! Hopefully that will be soon! Thanks for offering blog candy!
June 26th, 2007 at 4:42 am
Hi there…Luv looking at your blog! Thanks for sharing the “peek” into the new catty…I can hardly contain myself from the excitement. Oh …..is it July yet?
June 26th, 2007 at 4:47 am
Hi! I am really hoping that there are some new tropical vacation/beach themed stamp sets in the new catty!! I can’t wait to see it. Love your blog candy selection!
June 26th, 2007 at 4:49 am
Thanks for sharing so many great cards with us. I would love to see a great new floral set to take the place of Mixed Bouquet and some great new storage ideas.
June 26th, 2007 at 5:07 am
Thank you SOOOO much for sharing your messy desk! I left the thumbnail open and when the mailguy and UPS drove right on past I was able to at least enjoy yours. 😉 There was such a shakeup with ribbon – at first I was a little worried, but now I’m *really* looking forward to some FUN RIBBON!
June 26th, 2007 at 5:33 am
hmmmmmmm…………..I just look forward to everything new in that catty – knowing I will love it all!!! New brads, new ribbon, new colors, new stamps, new papers………selling a kidney to pay for it all. I can’t wait!
June 26th, 2007 at 5:40 am
Hi Jami, thank you for the invite for the 6th, and for this wonderful blog. I am hoping to see a complete Christmas layout kit so I don’t have to THINK about how to scrap this year’s pictures. Lazy…I know!
June 26th, 2007 at 5:45 am
I would like to see a really good wolf set , i saw a card once made with a wolf and liquid applique that was really cool , I would also like to see some hostess sets offered for sale in the cataloge. As always your cards are so beautiful , thanks for the info on the new products. Susan
June 26th, 2007 at 5:58 am

I’d most like to see the new ribbon selection – they retired so much, I’m dying to see what they have in store for us. Secondly, I’d like to see the new holiday section. 🙂
June 26th, 2007 at 6:10 am
Wonderful blog candy to dream about while we wait for the new catalogs to arrive! I am hoping to see a full size polka dot background; regular or reverse image would work.
June 26th, 2007 at 6:19 am
Hmmmm, one thing I really wanna see…. hmmmmm….. I am dying for some new Christmas stamps!!!
Nancy in Calgary
June 26th, 2007 at 6:27 am
Wow…what an awesome blog candy offering. I’m still waiting for my catty in St. Louis. “Maybe today” seems to be my motto lately . I think the thing that I really hope to see are more of a variety of embellishments…ribbon, brads and bling, oh my! I can never have enough of that stuff. Thanks for all of your spoilers. For those of us who are stalking the mailman daily really appreciate the little “fix” you’ve provided.
June 26th, 2007 at 6:29 am
Wow…this blog candy looks delicious! I am a punch addict, so I want to see what is new in that department!!!
June 26th, 2007 at 6:30 am
Thank you for posting a pic of the catty…its beautiful. I am looking forward to a new Snowman stamp set. LOVE SNOWMEN and got excited when you talked about them.
June 26th, 2007 at 6:31 am
Thanks for all the spoilers! My number one thing I would like to see in the new catty is some new *cute* animal stamps. Fun ones like the IA turtle and the WS animals. I love to color and I love animals.
June 26th, 2007 at 6:31 am
BUndled in Love – the accessory set for Bundle of Joy! OMGosh I can’t waitttttttttttt
June 26th, 2007 at 6:33 am
Hi Jami! The thing I’m MOST looking forward to are the contemporary, updated versions of AYC!!!!
June 26th, 2007 at 6:38 am
I can not wait to see the catalog. Thanks for the preview. I guess I’d most like to see some new teen boy sets, and the new Christmas sets so I can get an early start on cards.
June 26th, 2007 at 6:42 am
I’m so excited to see EVERYTHING in the catalog!! 🙂 But I think I’m excited to see what new modern flower sets they have in store for us!! And new punches!!
June 26th, 2007 at 6:45 am
I’d most like to see more “Doodle” type stamps. I can’t wait tos ee the new catty – It’s driving me nuts!
June 26th, 2007 at 6:58 am
I’m really excited to see some new great christmas sets. I’m (in my head mostly) starting to work on mine and want to have some great new stamps to do them with!

I’m looking forward to seeing the “BoatLoads of Love” set and the “Accessories for Voila” Thanks again for sharing the pics. The blog candy looks awesome too.
June 26th, 2007 at 7:02 am
I can hardly stand the wait. I’m stalking the internet for any news. (Sounds creepy, doesn’t it.) The spoilers only make me more anxious to see more! You have a great website. I stumbled on your website from SCS. Thanks for sharing!!
Anyway, I am oooooh so excited to see any new flower stamps! 😀
June 26th, 2007 at 7:04 am
Great blog candy! I can’t wait for the new catalog. I am hoping for a new santa set.
Bonnie
June 26th, 2007 at 7:14 am
I would so love to see a set for making book plates. I love reading and keep most of my books so would love that.
June 26th, 2007 at 7:18 am
I would Love to see a karate set and/or a dance set – something ‘cutesy’ for my 5yr old.
Other than that I am sure there will be something for everyone – there usally is.
June 26th, 2007 at 7:21 am
I’m dying to see the Christmas sets. Christmas is my favorite time of year and I’m excited to see what they’ve come up with this year. 🙂
June 26th, 2007 at 7:47 am
I can’t wait to see the new punches! Especially the double photo corner punch!!!
June 26th, 2007 at 7:49 am
I like to see the new product, but I REALLY love seeing all the cards and project from the catty. It’s an idea book all on its own
June 26th, 2007 at 8:03 am
It’s really hard to choose ONE thing that I am most looking forward to. I am really excited about new kid’s sets. I’m hoping there will be something perfect for my kids!
June 26th, 2007 at 8:06 am

June 26th, 2007 at 8:11 am
I just love your blog! And a big thank you for offering up the chance to win that awesome candy!!
Now to choose just one thing out of the catalog I can’t wait to see? Tough… I really just want to see it ALL!! (All the new stuff anyway). But if I HAVE to choose just one thing, it’ll have to be the new paper. Hmm, or maybe the new punches! No, how about that calendar set I know nothing about but am dying to see? Okay, okay, just ONE.. the paper!
June 26th, 2007 at 8:13 am
Hello! I am so excited to see all the new ribbon!! The build a brad sounds great! Great blog!!
June 26th, 2007 at 8:15 am
I can’t wait to get my catalog – hopefully it comes by Thursday as we leave on Friday for a week to Washington State. My wish is for a really awesome masculine stamp set. I have three brothers and BIL’s that I need a good set or two. No more flowers for me please!
June 26th, 2007 at 8:31 am
I already received my must have stamp set Zoofari. It is way too cute. I am looking forward to ordering the new dyeable flowers and the new flower chipboard. Thanks for sharing!
June 26th, 2007 at 8:32 am
I look forward to seeing all the new stamp sets! It is always amazing to see all the new ones they come out with each year. Who thinks of all of them anyway??????
June 26th, 2007 at 8:34 am
I’m so excited about the pretties and the All in the Family set!!! Can’t…wait…much…longer!! Thanks for your awesome site!!!
June 26th, 2007 at 8:35 am
Hi! Drooling over your candy!! I always love new colors… so hoping for some fun new ones. Great blog!!
June 26th, 2007 at 8:38 am
Nice blog candy!!! Well…what I’m waiting to see in the new catalog are ANY new masculine stamp sets. Seems like all the good ones are retired. I did manage to get one on ebay last week, but am hopeful SU! will have some more that will be favorites for a long time.
June 26th, 2007 at 8:39 am
The UPS site says “out for delivery.” Hopefully, hopefully?!? The new ribbon, build-a-brads, and sets to coordinate with punches have piqued my interest, but I’m most looking forward to seeing what other new surprises will catch my eye!
June 26th, 2007 at 8:50 am
Honestly- the thing i’m most excited about is Wild Wasabi.
Though I cannot wait to see all the new accessories!
June 26th, 2007 at 9:15 am
I heard there is a cute moose set in the new catalog and that is what I want the most – it will certainly be on my first order. Also looking forward to seeing the new DP & kits
June 26th, 2007 at 9:18 am
I am most excited to see the new punches. I love punches and I NEED MORE!!!!!
June 26th, 2007 at 9:25 am
I can’t pick just one! I am most excited about the guava paper and hopefully some new stamps something swirly kinda like the fancy pants pollen dust set 🙂
June 26th, 2007 at 9:28 am
Hi Jami! I was so blessed & touched that you took time at SCSM4 to intentionally say hi to me & introduce yourself. I’ve been stalking your blog ever since the event! And I enjoy reading about all things stamping! I am REALLY looking forward to seeing the new PUNCHES coming out!
June 26th, 2007 at 9:31 am
Jami I love your messy desk! I am hoping to have something to add to my messy desk in my mail in the next 1/2 hour! I can’t wait to see the new sets, the ribbon, the build a brads. Well what don’t I want to see would probably be easier. 😉 I wanna see it all and now! (stomps foot)
June 26th, 2007 at 9:33 am
I am looking forward to seeing what goes with the Baroque Motif set. I love that thing. Also, the punches and the Pretties Kit.
June 26th, 2007 at 9:33 am
Christmas stamps! Love, love Christmas! oh and punches! love punches…
and… lol
Pam
June 26th, 2007 at 9:49 am
I am mainly dying to see what new stamp sets they have! Second to that would be punches.
Also, I saw a glimpse of some red & white designer paper that looks like the au chocolat. I can’t wait to get my hands on that!!
June 26th, 2007 at 9:52 am
I can’t wait to see the catty!!!! What I’d love to see most in there is a theatre/drama stamp set. You know… something with the comedy/tragedy masks, a directors chair, etc. etc. It would be great to scrapbook all those pics. of my kids in plays through the years.
June 26th, 2007 at 9:55 am
Thank you very much for the messy desk pic!! I am just dying to know what the other ribbons are!!!!
June 26th, 2007 at 9:56 am
I can’t wait to see the new cattie and drool over all the new stamp sets that I have to have. I do hope that they bring back Bud Basics or some similiar flower sets that can be cut out & layered. Can’t wait to see what’s new.
Thanks for the chance to win some awesome blog candy (it’s so pretty too with all those bright colors). lol
June 26th, 2007 at 10:20 am
The one thing I’d love to see in the new catalog would be a snowman of some sort. Not too cutsie, a “pretty” one. LOL Don’t know if that exists but I’d like it.
Claudia F.
June 26th, 2007 at 10:22 am
Boy I hope my new catty comes in the mail today! The suspence is killing me!!! The one thing I can’t wait to see is the new background stamps! They retired French Script, so I want to see if there’s something cool to replace it. Also I want to see this new textured paper I’ve seen people talking about… I really can’t wait to see it all! 🙂
June 26th, 2007 at 10:29 am
Thinking of stamping definitely counts. The idea is half the work! Great candy and I am hoping there isn’t too much I have to have cuz I can’t afford it! 🙂 BUT, I do hope they have markers for the in-colors this year!
June 26th, 2007 at 10:41 am
Holy Guacamole! That’s an awesome candy offer to tide us over until we get the new catalog. I’m really keeping my fingers crossed that a stamp set of big, pretty swirls with extra like snowflakes, blossoms and leaves will make it into the catalog.
Have a great day!
June 26th, 2007 at 10:52 am
I cannot wait to see all the yummy ideas! I’ve heard from several demos that it’s the best catalog on years! I’m so excited!!!
June 26th, 2007 at 10:55 am
I really can’t wait to see the new simply scrappin kits – so excited!
June 26th, 2007 at 11:24 am
OOoooh, Jami! Just one??
I can hardly wait to flip it open to the new punches!! Don’t tell me either, ye who has her catty! *grin*
“open, open, open!”
~Tex
June 26th, 2007 at 11:32 am
I am hoping to see more vintage looking stamps. I love collage and altered tags and want to learn more how to make them.
June 26th, 2007 at 11:38 am
Hey Jami, just wanted to say i lurve your blog and seeing all your creations! I can’t wait to see the new catty and am so jealous you have yours already! I am hoping to see more Cute Animal Stamps and also stamps to make Male cards 🙂 Thanks for offering blog candy whilst we wait for the new catty!!
June 26th, 2007 at 11:44 am
i can’t wait to see the whole dang thing! thanks for the blog candy give-a-way!
Emily
June 26th, 2007 at 11:46 am
besides actually seeing the catty itself, i’m dyin’ to see the accessories section to take a gander at all the new repackaging and all the new goodies!
June 26th, 2007 at 12:02 pm
I can’t wait to see what new designer papers there are. I hope there is a really big selection! Those brads sound very cool too. Thanks
June 26th, 2007 at 12:16 pm
oh, I can’t wait to see all the new ribbons and the pretties kit! My catty should be here tomorrow or the next day, I just can’t wait 🙂
June 26th, 2007 at 12:34 pm
Hi Jami,
I’m looking forward to a great Christmas set of stamps. I just discovered Stampin’ Up a few months ago and want to send hand made Christmas cards this year!
June 26th, 2007 at 12:46 pm
I would like to see a new cute chicken set! Since Best of Cluck is retired, I would like to see something just as cute replace it.
June 26th, 2007 at 12:46 pm
Awesome offerings!!! I REALLY can’t wait to see the cowboy/horse themed things…I guess I should say “Western”….anyway, I think it’s just going to be so fun with the stamps and paper and….whatever else there is!!!!
[email protected] Diane McVey
June 26th, 2007 at 1:11 pm
The hockey set!! Whoohooo!!
June 26th, 2007 at 1:17 pm
Welllll, you said only one thing, but I’m having a hard time narrowing it down. The new punches, new western themed items, but I think the one item that really has my curiosity aroused the most is the Build a Brad. I wonder if it is kind of like making your own buttons?
June 26th, 2007 at 1:27 pm
Does “THE WHOLE THING” count? If not, then I think I’d say the wheel that goes with Doodle This and the new Simply Scrappin’ Kits. It was the new build-a-family set (don’t know name), but someone on SCS gave us a sneek peak of that one.
June 26th, 2007 at 1:30 pm
I would love to see a new fish set on the order of Fish Frolics, which I just love. I also would like to see more realistic sets rather than cartoonish. The suspense is killing me!
June 26th, 2007 at 2:03 pm
I am excited to see the family stamps that I have read about with build your own characters. I think it will be great for kid cards.
Kay
June 26th, 2007 at 2:09 pm
I am really curious to know how many truly fall stamp sets will be offered, since it is considered a fall/winter catalogue. I love fall. And I hope to see many new ideas!! Thanks for the blog candy offer. I have yet to get any of the Michael’s acrylic sets yet. So would love to win a couple. 🙂 Have a great day!
June 26th, 2007 at 2:19 pm
i’m really looking forward to new non-floral sets. there are so many beautiful flower sets, but i would like to diversify a little… 🙂
June 26th, 2007 at 2:20 pm
What I would absolutely love is some penguins!!!! lol cause they are ever so popular and how wonderful would it be if they brought out another set with them in
June 26th, 2007 at 2:37 pm
I just can’t wait to see what cool accessories there are. I’m so excited for the fabric flowers and new ribbon. I’m the worst at being patient and waiting for a suprise. Thanks for the chance to win!
June 26th, 2007 at 2:42 pm
Hi Jamie!
Wow! 81 responses, so far! I love checking your blog and thank you for your ‘spoilers’!
My #1 item I can’t wait to see is the Photo corner punch! I REALLLLLY love photo corners!
Thanks for having such a great blog!
Kathy
June 26th, 2007 at 2:44 pm
I’m so hoping for dotted grosgrain ribbon on a spool… not in a combo pack… I so so so love ribbon… I would also like to see hodgepodge hardware sold seperatly.
waiting ever so patiently for my catty!
June 26th, 2007 at 2:47 pm
Thanks for the post – I was curious about the Build a Brad and I’m also interested in seeing some of the paper – did I see something about textured?
June 26th, 2007 at 3:28 pm
wow Jami!!! This is cute cute blog candy!!! I am so *stoked* about new ribbon!! A girl can never have enough right!!!???
June 26th, 2007 at 3:40 pm
I want to see any scripture stamps.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:09 pm
I would like to see some different style punches.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:35 pm
let’s see….I would really like to see smaller groups of the hodgepodge hardware items, broken up and sold for cheaper.
Great blog Jamie!
gonna add a link to mine.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:45 pm
I am really hoping for some great new backgrounds and a variety of Christmas sets.
Altho, at this moment I JUST WANT MY CATALOG!!! LOL
June 26th, 2007 at 4:51 pm
Thanks Jamie! I’m hoping for some new sets with seashells or the beach. Also, wanting a photo corner punch. First time receiving my own catalog without hosting a show! It’s driving me crazy…so close but yet so far away!!! How do you guys do it? Gina
June 26th, 2007 at 5:11 pm
Hi Jami
I would love to see new flower stamps and a nice dog set.
Hugs and thanks for the blog candy!
Marcia
June 26th, 2007 at 6:11 pm
OHHHHHHHHHHh I love candy! I am really hoping for some new lighthouses. Thanks for your great blog.
June 26th, 2007 at 6:30 pm
Cool candy, Jami! I think I’m most excited about the new Christmas sets, since pretty soon I’ll need to start working on holiday cards!
June 26th, 2007 at 6:40 pm
MMmmmmm… Candy…. I’m most looking foward to the new alphabet sets… I’m addicted to them!!! Can never have enough ABC’s and Candy!!! And I love your blog… Thanks for sharing the info!!! :O)
June 26th, 2007 at 7:10 pm
Hi Jami,
I can’t wait to see the new ribbon and new holiday stamp sets. Need to plan my Christmas cards so I want to see what we have.
Thanks for the chance to win some candy!
Robbie
June 26th, 2007 at 7:14 pm
Hi Jami! I am hoping my catty arrives tomorrow!!! Then I’ll see if they are offering a new cool male set – hopefully, a fishing set! Would also like to see the lighthouses come back!!
Enjoy your blog – and swapping with ya!!
June 26th, 2007 at 7:31 pm
I am liking some of the flourishes with the flowers, so cannot wait to see what they are offering for that. thanks for the opportunity!
June 26th, 2007 at 8:28 pm
I’ve been looking forward to seeing any new accessories – ribbon, punches, brads, and such. I just received my catalog in the mail TODAY and was very pleased with many of the things offered. I also like the layout of the pages much better than previous catties. They have it organized into a page of “adhesives”, “applicators”, “punches”, “coloring tools”, “embossing supplies”. It seems like it’s better organized and a lot easier on the eyes, especially for newcomers to the art who don’t know what a lot of the stuff is actually used for!
June 26th, 2007 at 8:54 pm
Hi Jami… 98 responses so far! Oh my goodness! We all need a HOBBY! Anyway, even though I have no more room for RIBBON in my ribbon rack, or PUNCHES in my over the door shoe holder gone punch holder, I can’t wait to see any new PUNCHES or RIBBON. Oh yeah… and designer paper… oh yeah… and…… 🙂
Carol
June 26th, 2007 at 11:09 pm
I hope to see something along th lines of a set for someone who has a child that is disabled….Like autism….Maybe a puzzle piece with some sentiments and such….but I know they will never come out with that…I do like the new style boroque they have done….so those are a must…Vintage
Lorraine
June 26th, 2007 at 11:22 pm
I’m hoping for some new punches and flower stamps!
June 27th, 2007 at 4:39 am
I’m looking forward to seeing the accessories and tools. In particular some
of the punches and especially the scalloped versions.
June 27th, 2007 at 5:16 am
James, that is some pretty sweet candy! I can’t wait to see the textured cardstock IRL. It’s gonna be awesome I bet!
June 27th, 2007 at 5:49 am
I;m a ribbon person… The new ribbon is to die for and can’t to be able to order some. Your blog is the best.. You have some wonderful ideas to share and I really appreciate them and you… Keep up the good work.
Barb S
June 27th, 2007 at 6:15 am
I’m looking forward to any masculine stamp sets. Keep up the good work!! Thanks for a chance to win some awesome blog candy!
June 27th, 2007 at 6:27 am
I’m sure hoping for some dynamite floral sets to replace my favs. That build a brad doohicky sounds wonderful — Too bad they’re having quality issues and it won’t be available on July 1.
June 27th, 2007 at 6:29 am
I can’t wait to see what new punches they have included. Thanks for offering some really nice blog candy while we are patiently waiting to view the new SU catalog!
Pat
June 27th, 2007 at 6:32 am
Hi Jami.
I am most looking forward to the NEW STAMP SETS!! I know we’ll have punches and embellis but I love our stamps!!! I think the photo corner punch is already on my list! 🙂
June 27th, 2007 at 6:39 am
I was wondering about that build a brad set, and no the catty doesn’t explain it well at all. I’ll peruse it during lunch today. The one thing I really wanted is in there, flowers so they’re match our colors. Not crazy about the dying them, but beggers can’t be choosers.
June 27th, 2007 at 6:39 am
Hi Jami,
Thanks for a great blog..and wonderful candy!!! I have not been one of the lucky ones to recieve a catalog yet but I am hoping that there is a scallop punch in there. I have seen so many wonderful cards done with the scallop punches. I have also heard about the build a brad and am pretty interested to see what that is all about.
Crossing my fingers to win the blog candy and looking forward to seeing more of your great inspiration. Thanks, Maria
June 27th, 2007 at 7:20 am
Thanks for this fun contest 🙂 I can’t wait to see the NEW Boatloads of Love set that you mentioned in your blog! I LOVE the Loads of Love set, so I am sure that Boatloads will be just as great! Thanks for the posts about the catalog…I haven’t gotten mine yet, so your blog helped to ease my anxiousness for the time being 🙂
June 27th, 2007 at 7:35 am
Jami,
Thanks for posting this!!! & for this fun contest!
I’m planning to sign up to become a demo as soon as the new catty arrives so I can see what they’re recommending in the starter kits.
The retired list pretty much eliminated my entire stamp collection, so I’m anxious about having to invest a ton of money to get the current stamps and accessories.
Any advice on what stamps to order in my starter kit or tips for getting started? I’d really appreciate the wisdom of a seasoned stamping sister!

I’m hoping that they’ll have a few more multi-purpose sets similar to “year round fun” that are really versatile and cover all the potential occasions you might need over a year. The smaller stamps are perfect for making coordinating backgrounds when you need ‘just a little something’ to finish off a card.

The one thing that i am really looking for in the new cattie, are the new scalloped punches, love the versatility and how easy they are to incorporate into a card.
Still waiting for cattie…..anyday now i would think!

I can’t wait to see the new ribbon in the catty. I am a ribbon junkie, and need to have it all the time!!

I’m anxious to see the western sets someone mentioned, as well as the lighthouse/sailing ship set. I need more masculine sets!

I love your blog and subscribe to it.
I heard the new catty does not have a vintage section, so am interested in seeing what sets are developed to replace it.
I love ribbon, so will definitely have to get more new ribbon.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Jami,
The one thing I’m looking forward to in the new SU catalog is to see if they came up with a Sun-Ripened III set from my suggestion years ago, so you could essentially make up the 9 Fruits of the Spirit. I’m sure it isn’t in there, but it would be wonderful to see my suggestion make it into print for myself and others to purchase.
Thank you for hosting a great contest! Your Blog Candy is very nice!!
Sincerely,
Suetta

That blog candy looks “yummy”! I’d have to say I’m most looking forward to SU’s newest punches. Love those things–can’t get enough.
June 27th, 2007 at 10:37 am
I am just plain outright excited about everything.
June 27th, 2007 at 10:52 am
This will be my first “new catty” experience as I am a new stamper. I’d love to see some new Sympathy expressions and am excited to see new papers and tools… though for me most things are still pretty new.
Your blog is great by the way! 🙂

I am so excited about seeing the new catty! The one thing I want to look for is BLING! I love lots of bling! Anything shinny and sparkley, to add to pages and cards is my thing! Bling is my thing!

Dragonflies, dragonflies, and more dragonflies!

I am chomping at the bit to see the new catty!!!!!!! I am countng down the hours!!!!!!!
I am looking forward to some new colors of ink. I just love SU sets. I hope to see some additional inspirational sets. I think I have worn out the two different sets I have. Everyone comments on how the meanings touch them during their difficult tribulations.
June 27th, 2007 at 1:15 pm
Oh Jami, how can I pick just ONE TOP thing I want to see???? Seriously I want to see it ALL! *deep breath* Okay, I’d have to say that I want to -see- accessories like the brads and ribbon. I am such a visual person, I’ve read reviews, but I want to see for myself. I know I only have to wait until tomorrow when my catties arrive, but . . . . . can I really survive that long????? 😉
You are so sweet to offer blog candy to help distract us! Hugs to you!
June 27th, 2007 at 1:27 pm
I can not wait to see what punches are offered, I love punches, I even got a shoe rack to hold all my punches!
June 27th, 2007 at 3:11 pm
Boy, this is hard to pin down. I am so much just looking forward to getting the new catalog that I did not know exactly what excited me the most. After thinking about it, and reading your comments on how you are a brad-aholic, I too realize that I’m like that. I buy brads everywhere I go and buy them online as well. So, brads and ribbon will excite me. Oh! I almost failed to mention my other obsession, punches. I love punches! I cannot wait to see what new punches they have. Thank you for this opportunity to release some tension!
June 27th, 2007 at 3:32 pm
WOW! awesome blog candy! The thing I’d like to most see in the new catty is a masculine set that I can use to make cards for my dad, uncles, and brother!
thanks for this opp!
June 27th, 2007 at 4:09 pm
The one over the top, desperately needed thing I need to see it is the page where Shelly wrote a personal note to me saying I was getting one of everything new in the catty absolutely free!!
Well, it’s not my fault you didn’t mention reality in your request for comments! (big grin)
June 27th, 2007 at 4:54 pm
Thanks for the catty preview! There’s no one thing I really want to see, but I can’t wait to see some of the sets you mentioned here. Flowers, vintage – that’s me!
June 27th, 2007 at 5:18 pm
I too appreciate you sharing w/ all of us ‘ladies in waiting’. I hope to see more scrapbooking kits! There is a large untapped target market out there! Just keep stampin’ & scrappin’

I am looking forward to some of the new punches!

Yummy candy! I think I would have to say the scallop punch! Thanks!
June 28th, 2007 at 7:01 pm
As usual, your blog is so interesting. Thanks for all of your insights. I can’t wait to see and purchase all of the new colors. I have heard nothing but good things about them. I am going to order the colors first before anything. I always have. It is an obsession for me. I should have received my new catalog today, just did not go get it from my demonstrator. Too much going on, can you believe that??????
June 29th, 2007 at 8:25 am
I would love to see some new innovative punches. I hear there might be photo corners……I hope that they have some extra interest than just straight cuts though. The Brad maker sounds interesting…..I’m such a brad and eyelet horder! And fourishes…….I want some more nice curly flourishes! Sorry,,,,, I guess that wasn’t one thing but would I be a good stamper if I wanted only one thing? 😉 SCS – Stamps&cars
