This or that???
 

I'm hoping to become a Demo (just need to talk to my husband to get his agreement since we share a budget).

I've already received the paperwork and am debating on which sets to exchange. Unfortunately I wasn't paying attention to what was in the Starter's Kit and ordered the Heartfelt Thanks from my Demo but the good thing is I can exchange these in the kit.

I'm debating on...

Ageless Adornment
Lovely As A Tree
Sparkling Summer
Summer By The Sea

I know I can only pick two from the above to exchange for the 2 28.95 sets. Just cannot decide! I thought I'd go to the gallery to help me decide but it made it even more difficult. Lol. Any advice would be appreciated.

Not sure if I want to keep Loads of Love, or exchange that for Natural Beauty? I could always Natural Beauty later. Hmmm...

I'm also not sure whether to keep Quick Thinking and Much Appreciated or exchange these for Burst Into Bloom (I know I want this one) and Festive Four or Happy Winter. Keep one, or both, or exchange one, or both? My mind is going crazy. Like someone else posted on another thread, we are acting as if we were choosing someone to serve on the Supreme Court or something. Lol.

Thanks for listening, I just needed to "think" outloud.

Hi Wendy,
I'm not a demo yet, but I too am thinking about it. Oddly, dh is all for it and I'm the one that is waffling, but that's another thread all together!

As for your options, personally I would pick Ageless Adornment and Summer by the sea. I would think they would be the two easiest ones to demo with. Although Lovely as a Tree is also pretty versatile (and the only one of the four I actually own...lol!).

You should make it a poll! :)

My list so far.. if anyone cares to listen. :)
 

Here's the list of stamps/ink I'm going to get. I could change my mind in the next minute or so. Lol.

Mixed Bouquet
Ageless Adornment
Loads of Love (debated whether to exchange this for Natural Beauty, but I can probably Demo Loads of Love very well and just purchase NB later)
Burst Into Bloom
Festive Four
Much Appreciated
Wheel - Delicate Design (seems like it could be versatile with all my butterflies/dragonflies, etc?)
Ink pads will be either Earth Elements or Soft Subtle. Then the 5 other inkpads will be from the other family that I didn't choose for the free inkpads.

*disclaimer* subject to change at any time before I send my paperwork.

I'd swap out Festive Four for something else, simply because I'd bet you'll have a level one show pretty quickly (from assembling outside orders) and Say It Simply is SO similar (and you could get it for free). They're different styles, but basically the same idea (Halloween, Valentine's and Christmas) and that might help you get bookings. And you could always say "you can get a similar look with the Festive Four Set."
That said, I love Festive Four, and the snowman is beyond cute.
Lovely As a Tree is also WONDERFUL for fall, and for "guy cards" year-round, which is just something nice to have.
Oh, and the Rich Regals family is the one that has the most new colors in it, so that might be something to think about with the free color family.

HTH!

It's good to have a variety -- I'd pass on Ageless Adornment - I had it (b /c I loved that Pear for some reason) but found it not very versatile & hard to ink up well. Good Luck!

I just signed up to be a demo, also. I had earned Ageless Adornment at the last workshop I hosted prior to signing up. I then traded it once I decided to become a demo because I wanted to have sets that were easier to demo with.

I would go with Sparkling Summer from that list.
