I am getting Garden Silhouettes for my Level 2 set from my stamp club. I was thrilled to be able to earn a Level 2 and get it!!

Garden Silhouettes is just lovely and perfect to demo since you can use it so many different ways...I preordered this set and just love it! I'm sure that you would too! It's so simple and elegant! This is my choice!

I preordered Garden Silhouettes and love that set, but then, I'm a flower junkie! I would suggest you look at the gallery of each of the sets and see which one fits your style best.

I have In the Spotlight and Garden Silhouettes. I use both a lot. I think my favorite right now is the Silhouettes, because of all the pretty toile cards out there. It's perfect for that!

This is definately a tough choice, level 2 is the best in my opinion.

Initially I was drawn to word on word, but as much as I like the stamps, Im just not sure they would get the mileage out of them as some of the others.

I also really like perfect presentation, but I decided that I would buy the punch pals set and also with the new tag sets in the mini holiday it wasnt necessary.

The garden silhouettes is also nice, but again there is a similar set in the mini.

So that leaves me with in the spotlight. It's great on it's own but it also coordinates with so many other sets and the new five petal punch. I also think that this set will be more versatile than the others. IMO

So yes......in the spotlight!

my faves in that level are In the Spotlight (love how the punches coordinate with it) and Garden Silouhettes. If I get to that level when I am hostess for stamp club then I will probably get Garden Silouhettes though only because I have several stamps that are similar to the In the Spotlight set.

I already have so many floral sets that I decided to get out of my flower box (tee hee) and get In the Spotlight. I love love love it. Have you checked the gallery to see how others are using the stamps? That usually helps me decide.

Not to make you even more indecisive, but, if in the spotlight is kind of similar to big pieces. i went with perfect presentation, because i just wanted something new for christmas, though the silhouettes one is definitely growing on me now!

I have silhouttes, but really wish i had in the Spotlight. It works with several of the punches and they did some amazing things with it at convention - which I am sure will start to pop up in the gallery!

Thank you everyone!! I really appreciate everyones input! While I was blown away by the cards in In the Spotlight's gallery, I think some of the sets I already own are similiar, so I think I am going to go with Garden Silhouettes.

Thanks again for your help!!
