Default Collage Alphabet....should I get it?

Hey everyone! I really liked the look of the collage alpha at first and now I am having second thoughts. Do any of you have it and regret getting it or do you absolutely love it? There aren't many cards posted using it. So, if you have a card and haven't posted it, do it!! This is life or death right now!! Okay, maybe not that extreme but it's pretty serious! Thanks for the info!

Default Get it!

I absolutely love it! Since the letters are each so different you don't have to get them exactly straight. Also you can mix it with letters from other sets, because they ARE all so different. Also you can use a single letter in a collage card or other image and it will fit right in with all of the "vintage" stamps. There you have it 3 reasons to get this set.

I just purchased this set. I haven't actually used it yet so I can't tell you that I KNOW it's great, but I sure love the look. I have Something Marvelous and Mon Ami and I thought they would both look great with it. I am trying to scrap more with my sets so I'm hoping this will be a set to bridge the gap.

Default collage alphabet

I have ordered this set for 2 reasons. One because I simply love it and second because $5 is going to the Tsunami relief fund to help them out. Do you need anymore excuses????

Default Collage Alphabet

I just got mine this morning (a friend picked it up from our Demo yesterday) so I haven't used it yet, but I LOVE it and can't wait to use it.

Ok, I'm waffling too. I LOVE it in the mini but am wondering what I'll do with it. I don't really have any of the other "collage style" or vintage stamp sets (gee, if I get this alpha then I'll have to buy those huh? :lol: ). Still a good choice? Oh, heck I'm almost done entering the order, I might as well just add it! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I too thought it looked ransom notey... but the more I see it the more I like it... I may have to break down and get it. Just what I need... one more stamp set!
