Everyday Flexible Phrases & Amazing to Zany

[PenguinCityLady]

Do you own these sets and if so, do you use them?

I am trying to decide if I want to buy them or not.

Thanks!

I have EFP . . and although I don't use it a ton, I can't seem to part with it. I think I would feel the same way about Amazing to Zany, so I didn't invest in it.

I also have only EFP and don't use it often. But it sure does come handy when I can't find the words I need on some other stamp.

I just noticed where you are from. My ex DH is from there and I've been there more times than I can count. His mother still lives there.

I also have EFP. I don't use it often, but I would never part with it. It comes in very handy every once in a while. Not only is there a great variety of words, but it's great because of its small size. Sometimes you need just a little something, and these words work perfectly, KWIM?

mary mn: Your ex-mother-in-law lives in Cut Bank? Chances are I probably know her!

[marymn]

I'm sure you do- doesn't everybody know everybody in CB? Especially since a lot of the residents have lived there forever!LOL Last name is Neidhardt

[PenguinCityLady]

I know some of the Neidhardts....

And yes, we still have our beloved penguin at the edge of town (the one in my pic!)

[marymn]

Glad to see that some things never change (in regards to the penguin of course!) MIL name is Joann- married to Hank (Henry) who died about 3 years ago or so.

[PenguinCityLady]

Yes, I do know her. Her husband died just shortly before my husband passed away. They were good friends. I thought maybe you were talking about her.

My late husband's family wasn't from here, but they moved here 30 years ago. I've been here since 2001, and I am now married to the brother of the guy who owns the IGA store here. He's closing the store next weekend for good.

Of course, you can't buy any stamping supplies here, still going to Great Falls or Kalispell for that!

[marymn]

Just goes to show you what a small world this is. I was wondering about the stamping purchases. Thought maybe CB had become big time since I'd last been there. Can't believe they're closing the IGA. That used to be all there was to shop at until Buttrey's anyway(spelling and name might be off- it's been a few years and as I'm constantly reminded I'm not getting younger).
I'm enjoying 'chatting' with you. Hope we can continue in some way or form.
Have a good one!
Mary

I have them both and don't use them alot. I have thought about getting rid of them but like all my others can't seem to do it. I like the idea of having them but wish I would have had a friend when I bought mine. If you have someone you could share with I would recommend doing that.

I have EFP. It is particularly great for stamping on the file tab punch! I kind of forget to use it a lot of the time, but it is great for a lot of things. You should go into the gallery and do a search for either of those sets and see what comes up. Now, I don't mean to go into the gallery and click on that stamp set name. I mean just open the gallery (the main gallery) and then type the name of the stamp set in the "search" box. I say to do it this way because these kinds of sets are sort of "secondary" sets - not the "main" set people would upload under when putting a card into the gallery. Anyway, do that search. I'm betting a lot of samples will come up and you'll see tons of ways to use those sets.
(I hope this is clear, lol).

I have EFP and just order AtoZ to go with Jumbo Outline Alphabet. The words fit into the letters and that makes it just too cute to use with scrapbooking or cards! I like the font in AtoZ better than EFP.

[LateBlossom]

I have EFP and love it, even if I don't use it a lot (mainly on scrapbook pages mixed in with handwritten journaling. I want AtoZ as well, but keep putting it off. The words in it will likely be even more useful than EFP, so if it goes on the retire list, I'll get it for sure.
