Surprised to not see a thread yet. But I am loving the new blue release. Although I had hoped for a darker blue, I really love this. The couch and chair set is so cute and I'm thinking the button basics is a really clever addition. I so love the buttons, but have wondered how I'll ever use them all.
Im loving the new button bits set its a great way to use my button stash!! Also the couch set is very inviting...teehee. But the one I am sure to buy is the flower set.. I think is very versatile!!
I agree - I love the new blue. I am going for the button basic for sure - and can't wait to see the entire set. The flower set is also on my list already. Anxious to see what the 8 X 8 paper is this time - I am so in love with PTI.
I am in love with the new button set...I have not ordered any PTI since shipping changed (sooo expensive to Canada)...I may have to bite the bullet this time...

I think the new 8 x 8 paper uses the new flower set.
Love the new blue -- in lieu of a true navy blue, this is an excellent choice! I already have cleared space for the ribbons, too.
The new flower set is very pretty - much like the other recent flower set in style, and I really love that one, too. As usual, I'm curious to see the whole thing and sentiments. It will be hard to resist.
As for the others.... hmmm.... I'm not so sure. The button idea is clever but for now I think I'll settle for thinking about using buttons with my images rather than accents. If it's an idea that works well for me, I might revisit the set. The bird idea is easily reproducible so I can see doing that one by hand.
The furniture, don't think so, but Nichole's samples and the artist's are really fabulous ~ and I love the cat! And the backgrounds ~ I have so many backgrounds, it seems superfluous to add yet one more.
I haven't seen the cruise set and I read on the PTI forum that a lot of people resisted uploading them for fear of giving it away. Jeesh. Nichole responded that she didn't understand herself why no one uploaded photos! Of course, I'm not that anxious so I can wait until the 15th
There are a lot of stamps released by PTI this month and I will be checking them out in their entirety first thing on the 15th just like many of you!!
(Thanks for starting this thread, too -- I think the past few months we started one for a "color watch" but knew it would be the blue this time. We really should have it every time - lots of PTI fans here!)
Love the new blue, I think it is gorgeous!!! I also love the flower, buttons and Polka Dots II!!! The couch set is neat but I think I can live without it for now.
I think this is the first month where I really am not feelin' the new releases. Usually there's not that I cannot wait to get my hands on but this month I can't say that I am in love with any of them. I will probably force myself to buy one so that I can be in the in crowd - LOL - and get the button one....the set with add the buttons to make - because I do love me some buttons....but the rest are just....dunno...not for me, I guess.
I'll get all the new blue stuff - so glad that's here - and then the bloom paper...that's pretty hot too.

I LOVE like the button stamp set! But I have a problem, I don't own many buttons. So I am going to have to order some pf theirs to go with this set. I bought some assorted neutral buttons at Wal-Mart and I am just starting to use them on my cards.

You will not be disappointed with the buttons! It is an amazing selection and many are very unique. Loads of fun.
I'm wondering if they might offer a button assortment pack at some point - it would be a great way to try them out.
I love the blue, which really fills a gap in PTI's color line-up. The button bits set is intriguing, and may be the only stamps set from this month's release that I buy...and then only because I took part in Krystie Lee's button share and have TONS of buttons to use. The other stamp sets are really cool, innovative, and fun, but my budget is tight right now. So sad....
This is the first month where I want to buy as soon as they are released. I love the flower set! I've been waiting for something like that for so long! And I'm so thrilled with Polka Dot Basics 2. I have delayed getting the first version and this one seems to suit me much better. And that blue! How fabulous! The buttons set is adorable but I don't see me using it as I mail 99 percent of my cards and that wouldn't work out.
i can't wait to see what's next on Monday and Tuesday. My budget is tight right now with saving for a vacation next month and then saving for a wedding next year but I just love PTI....

I'm afraid this will be a high dollar purchase month for me.I will "need" the new blue paper, ink and buttons, as well as the Everyday Button Bits and Polka Dot Basics ll stamp sets. And, the new 8x8 In Bloom paper pad. I'll also be stocking up on the Rustic white cardstock, LOVE this. My cc is already smoking!

The new blue looks like it might be similar to SU! not quite navy. It's hard to tell on my monitor... it looks different photo to photo. I think I'll try a small pack of paper and one of the ribbons to check it out in real life.
I just LOVE the new blue colors, the Button Bits set and the 8x8 paper; I'll definitely be ordering this week! Has anyone else noticed a difference in the white cardstock lately? The last pack I bought seemed thinner; I had stopped buying any other white caused I loved the heavy weight of this one;

I love the Button Bits set. Pretty much sold me on it when I saw the cherries. I will probably get that one. I think the couch set is really cute, but will probably pass on it. I hate cutting out images so I would have limited use for the set. I may finally break down and get one of the Polka Dots sets. I have the SU dots b/g stamp so I have resisted thus far. But I am getting weaker every day.

I LOVE the blue and will be getting those. Some of the sets are adoreable but don't know if I'd ever use them except Polka dots II, and I don't like the flower one at all. I need to get the Ocean tides buttons and ribbons and will have to browse all the sets for something I like better than the new ones.

I am so glad that I didn't buy the "Friends til the end" designer paper so that I can justify buying this month's designer paper! haha! I love the couch set and that new flower set.
The button set is not for me but I think it is terribly cute! and I love the background set, but I have so many backgrounders that I need to use now.
AND I am going to CHA so I want to buy $100 worth so I can get the free stamp set, so I shouldn't really buy anything!!
I said it on the Pti forum and I will share it here.
My hubby thinks it is so weird that I will pay $175 for a plane ticket to CHA so I can save $26 in shipping costs from PTI! He obviously isn't a stamper!
I'm SO in love with the new button basics set. Definitely a must-have, as I'm currently button-obsessed. I love the new blue, too, but my wallet might make me wait on that one...
PTI is, by far, one of my favorite stamp companies. This month I love the couch set, the polka dot basics, the button set and the blue paper and ink. The flower set is not so much for me - I keep seeing cabbage leaves.
Why do they only release one color a month now when they used to do two? I understand from Nicholes post why they are only going to do the button sampler at the end of the year, but I wish they would do it sooner. :(
