Well, I just did the same thing yesterday and had the same difficulty choosing! I eventually went with Plain & Simple if only because it is so basic it can go with virtually ANY theme, whether it's casual or more formal. Alphadots is definitely more casual but I will be ordering that soon enough I'm sure because I love it too...

Aren't we gonna have FUN...........!

Hugs,
Betsy

Hmmmmm can't ask me. I collect Alphabets. I do have all three mentioned :oops: and ordered the typewriter one yesterday.

I love them all.
Hugs and smiles.

I like Brushstroke, but you can't get that with your starter kit. I also like the typewriter. I would go with something more generic than Alpha Dots (which I personally don't like at all). It's hard to decide what customers may like or not like.

Definately pure and simple. Definately.

I love the alphadots but Pure and Simple is much more versatile.

There are a lot of things that work well with the alphadots. One of the new circle punches cuts them out so easily. The shapes set that people got at regionals (can't remember the name) has a cirlce frame that frames them perfectly.

Also, this set matches some other stamp sets.

So...this would be a fun alphabet set to have.

I love all of the alphabets, too! I have a bunch! But, I guess it kind of goes with what other stamp sets you are getting. Like if you said that you were getting Love Without End, I would say Alphadots, but some of the other ones, I would say Pure and Simple!

I just ordered the circle punch for my alpha dots! I'm excited about that!

thanks everyone...my other alphabet sets all retired. Joy, I never thought about what I would put them with...good point. I tend to be more whimsical so will probably go with the alphadots. More ideas would be appreciated

I just ordered my kit yesterday! I went with the Pure and Simple (because I love it!) and ordered the Alphadots today! Such hard decisions!
