Default Collage Alphabet Numbers

Should I order Collage Alphabet Numbers when I order Collage Alphabet?

I haven't used the numbers much with cards or scrapbooking, but then I haven't been doing it all that long and maybe I will in the future.

I hate to not have Collage Alphabet's matching numbers, because I love the set and it may not make it to the big catty. But I also hate to spend the money and not use them, when there are so many other things I know I want!

There were only 2 samples using the numbers in the Gallery, which makes me lean toward not getting them. But...Paragraph 2!

Opinions please!

Rosie

I ordered them but haven't used them yet. I always like to have them for the alphabet sets I do have. I use my alphabets more for scrapbooking than I do for cards & I do tend to use the #'s for that - dates, ages, etc. The collage alpha is so different than anything I have that I wanted to make sure I had them especially since this is a mini catalog and will go away (at least for a while) after February.

Rosie I think you'll be glad you did get the numbers!

they are so unusual & they go perfectly with the alpha set
plus $5.00 will go towards the SU Tsunami relief drive

I bought them and used them with the French Script for an added collage look - you can see samples in my gallery - Lisa S

Thank you, ladies!

In my heart, I knew I should probably get them, but having some talent and experience to back me up is all I needed! And I had totally forgotten about the $5 toward Tsunami relief--thanks for reminding me of that.

Lisa, your work is awesome! When I went into your gallery, I immediately recognized many of your designs as being in My Favorites. The talent of the members here is amazing.

Thanks again,
Rosie

I used to not get the numbers (when I first started scrapbooking) - now I could kick myself!
A couple of the alphabets look funny with the numbers I do have - and I SOOO wish I would have bought them when they were available (they are now retired!)
Now, I make sure to get the numbers with every alphabet set I buy. It really does help create a unified look on your page/card!

I was wrong the $5 towards Tsunami Relief does only apply to the alphabet sets I was thinking, since it's called Collage alphabet numbers... :lol:

Even if $5 from Collage Numbers won't be applied to the Tsunami relief, the comments have convinced me to buy the set.

Now, the more I look at the set and the more I think about, I'm wondering why in the world I even asked the question, because the answer is so obvious! Just for reassurance, I guess!
