Just wanted to wish you a Happy Stampin' Anniversary! 20 years, WOW! Thanks for all you share, Patty. I love visiting your blog - you have me, a demo, so much.

Congratulations on 20 years with stampin up. I see your posts daily and am so amazed at your creativity. My favorite item would have to be the pearls. I love the idea of coloring them. I looked at the catalog online but needing one :) God bless
Posted by: jolene | June 17, 2015 at 06:28 AM
Can't decide between the pearl basic and the rhinestone basic jewels. Both can really dress up the simplest card to take it to the next level.
Happy Anniversary, by the way. You've made those 20 years count!
Posted by: Vanessa C. | June 17, 2015 at 06:31 AM
20 Years as a demo was my first guess. You are just so good, each year is better and better! My favorite is still the Basic Rhinestones---they add so much.
Posted by: Kate | June 17, 2015 at 06:43 AM
Congrats on 20 years! You continue to inspire so many! I love the perfect white accents that you can color.
Posted by: Judi | June 17, 2015 at 06:47 AM
Congrats on 20 Great years!! My favorite item is the new white perfect accents. I buy the neutrals candy dots and use the white ones up so fast...I am so glad they added these to the line up! Congrats again!!
Posted by: Katie S | June 17, 2015 at 07:07 AM
I'd have to say the white perfect accents as well. So nice to be able to use something on a card that won't call for extra postage! Congrats on your 20 years- I really enjoy reading your blog each day.
Posted by: Marty | June 17, 2015 at 07:13 AM
Congrats on 20 years Patty!! I check out your blog daily and love your ideas!
I am going to say the rhinestones are my favorite, but I am excited to try the white perfect accents. Your video has peeked my interest. Can't wait to order some and try them out!
Posted by: Darlene | June 17, 2015 at 07:17 AM

Posted by: Lyn B. | June 17, 2015 at 07:37 AM
Congratulations on 20 years with Stampin' Up!! You are inspiring. My favorite embellishment is and has been for a while, the antique brads, so classic.

Congrats & thanks for a chance to win this terrific blog candy! Blossom accents are one of the things I have marked to get but also like the white now that I see you can color them.
Posted by: Sherry Conrad | June 17, 2015 at 07:47 AM
Congratulations on your 20-year anniversary! Such an achievement!
I read your blog daily and have learned so much from all your videos and tips. You are such an amazing SU demonstrator as you so capably balance business with superior personalized service.
On a product note: I can't wait to try the White Accents. The recipients of my cards are probably hoping I will use them more and give them a break from the sequin fixation I'm currently experiencing. LOL!
Posted by: Julie Rae | June 17, 2015 at 07:49 AM
twenty years...didn't you just start...have enjoyed your sites on the web..youtube, blog..I looked those pages over as well as the rest of the catalog, have a lot of corners turned down..my favorite is white accents and rhinestone can color them...keep enjoying and sharing your wonderful ideas.
Posted by: Linda | June 17, 2015 at 07:50 AM
Congratulations on the 20 years!! That's 15 more than I made it :(
My favorite is the Rhinestone Basic Jewels. Love adding bling wherever possible.

Happy 20th Patty. I am a newbie and am enjoying meeting all the fantastic demonstrators in the team. I love your video tutorials and look forward to receiving the new white perfect accents in my kit to play with. The candy dots have been a lot of fun also. Here's to the next 20 years.
Posted by: Patti Baugh | June 17, 2015 at 07:52 AM
Hi Patty, congratulations on your 20th anniversary! You continue to share your creativity and this time it's with the white accents and the metallic Sharpies. You have made that my favorite embellishment!

Posted by: Terina Sprague | June 17, 2015 at 08:02 AM
Congratulations on the milestone Patty!! What an amazing achievement :) I bet it's fun to revisit some of the older catalogs from years gone by and see how much things have changed over the course of 20 years! My favorite embellishment is probably the new metallic sequin assortment, but I also really love the vintage faceted designer buttons and the mini clothespins. So hard to pick just one!
Posted by: Deepa M. | June 17, 2015 at 08:05 AM
Really Patty just one favorite!!!? Well if I have to pick just one, it would be the tried and true Pearl Basic Jewels! Congratulations of 20 years with Stampin' Up!. Thank you for all your creativity over the last 20 years!
Posted by: Kathy Gage | June 17, 2015 at 08:06 AM
Congratulations on 20 Years!!!! My favorite all time accessory on those pages: the antique brads. But of the new items, I think it would have to be the silver rimmed pearls! Love self-adhesive!
Posted by: Beth Tetzlaff | June 17, 2015 at 08:14 AM
CONGRATULATIONS! What a great company to work for. I did watch your video and will be buying some metallic markers today. Thanks for the ideas. My favorite from 160 and 161? The candy dots in every color. Love them and use them all the time. Ready to try the new White Perfect Accents too. Kay V

Congrats Patty! What a wonderful accomplishment! I really like the In Color Blossom Accents! Thanks for the blog, hope you have 20+ more years
Posted by: Carol Strahsburg | June 17, 2015 at 08:23 AM
Congratulations on all your hard work in achieving the status you have today within the hierarchy of the Stampin' UP! leaders. You are amazing!
Thank you for all you have done for the many many people who have found you! I am so happy to have found you and I will continue to support you in anyway I can.
I just can't imagine having 20 years as a Stampin' UP! Demonstrator. I bet you have seen a lot of stamp sets come and go. Wonder if any of the sets from 1995-2000 have made it back into the catalog.
You are an exceptional person who is always thinking of that person who is out there in cyber-world looking for something creative to learn.

Posted by: Sandy Young | June 17, 2015 at 09:01 AM
I didn't even know they made Metallic Sharpies... but of course you would find them and show the most brilliant way to use them! My favorite embellishment is the Natural Expressions wood cuts... I wonder if the sharpies would color them in a cool way. May have to try to find some sharpies and try it out. :) Congrats on 20 years! That is an awesome accomplishment and the crafting world is better for you. Happy Anniversary!
Posted by: Jennifer Blomquist | June 17, 2015 at 09:09 AM
Congratulations to you! I'd say my fave embellishment's are the rhinestones- I always find a spot that needs a lil sparkle :)
Posted by: Adrienne West | June 17, 2015 at 09:11 AM
Patty - Congratulations on 20 years as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. That is an amazing and wonderful thing. I really enjoy the wonderful videos you create! :-) I would say at the moment the Rhinestones are my favorite embellishment at the moment. But your video of the white perfect accents with the metallic marks may change that response! ha ha. Have a wonderful day! Kudos to you for all you do! Thanks for sharing with us. - Lisa

Hi Patty,
Congratulations on 20 years! How exciting for you. I love the White Dots you are giving away. I am always hesitant to buy colored dots in stores because there is always some weird color that I know I would never use. These solve that problem perfectly.
thanks for sharing!
