I have to make a decision between four different stamps sets. Which one would be the best bet? Which would you choose?
Fishy Friends
Simply Circles
Pocket Fun
All Wrapped Up
I will be no help here as I have fishy friends and simply circles but WANT pocket fun and all wrapped up. If I had to choose just one...hmmm...I'd get the circles for the versatility...But that is of course my opinion right now...may change in an hour!
From the types of stamp sets you have chosen, I would wager that you like fun sets. Then why not pick one them. Go for the one that YOU will enjoy stamping the most with. If it were me, I would get All wrapped up. I just got the accessories recently. Have fun choosing!!!!
My all time favorite set is fishy friends! I also love pocket fun, as it could be for boy or girl. I don't yet have the other two, but I do want them sometime soon. I've seen a lot of great cards using the simply circles. Sorry I'm not much help.

I would go with Simply Circles. It was one of my first sets and I still really like it. That said, I just ordered Fishy Friends. My kids love it and I think it will work for lots of different types of cards. It would be between those two for me.
I would have to say that I would go with Pocket Fun. I have Simply Circles and All Wrapped up and I don't use them too much. I do not have Fishy Friends however.

I have all of them except Simply Circles. I would purchase Simply Circles because I have yet to mount Pocket Fun, hardly ever use All Wrapped Up and OD'd on Fishy Friends (although you can do some cute stuff with this one).
I vote for Simply Circles or Pocket Fun. I don't have Pocket Fun yet, but I've seen lots of cute stuff done with it, plus it works for boys or girls. Simply Circles is a quick and easy set to use, because you don't have to color anything in! And even though it's just a bunch of circles, you can get lots of different looks just by changing the colors you use. If you've got lots of ink pads, then I'd go for that one first. If, however, you're just starting out and you've only got the watercolor pencils or pastels and a few ink pads, I'd go for Pocket Fun. If you're like me, and you've got almost everything, it's a toss up. Do you already have the Just Jeans BG stamp? Because I think it's almost a must if you've got Pocket Fun. I'm probably the only person who doesn't like Fishy Friends. All Wrapped Up is cute, but I think I'd get bored with it quickly. Good luck deciding!
I LOVE Fishy Friends - it's great fun. But... I ADORE Simply Circles because it's so groovy and it will be handy for backgrounds etc even when you're fed up of fish. But I'd probably be tempted to have both...
This is a hard choice? Do you have to choose just one? They are all great sets. I have seen some very cute things with them all. I saw some cute cards here the other day (when the gallery was up and running) some cards done with fishy friends using the gel packs to make it look like water. Very cute! I want that set just so I can try this technique. LOL. Good luck choosing. I can't be of much help because I love them all. I would buy the whole catalog if I could. I am sure whatever set you choose it will be great.

I just got Simply Circles yesterday, along with the new inspiration sheets (simply circles being one of them)!!! Otherwise I have pocket fun and love it, and have Fishy Friends and sort of forgot about it!! I never really liked all wrapped up but then again there are lots that I never really liked that I have in my stamp drawers!!! I guess I was no help either!! Off to play with my Simply Circles
Simply Circles. It is such a versatile set. When the gallery is up you will find so many great cards made with it. It can be birthday (great with alphadots), Christmas (check out JulieHRR for her great Xmas cards), All occasion. It can be used for male or females. It makes a great OSW. And it is versatile enough to be used for scrapbooking too. I was the first one of my friends to buy it. WHen they saw everything I had made with it, they all had to have it too.
