Default Unfrogettable or Simply Said??? Which? HELP!

Ok, I can only get one of these sets, but I cannot choose. I've looked through the gallery and have found so many samples for both sets. I have the Dots and Daises background stamp already so I'm just so anxious to get one of these sets to play with.


Any thoughts that will help me decide???

Thanks!!!

Unfrogettable definitely. This set is way cute. I think it has so many possiblities. Simply said I have seen a lot similar to never seen anything quite like unfrogettable!

I have both.... Simply Said can be used for more things... but if you have any children, or like whimsical fun cards, Unfrogettable is the way to go. I don't know how you can choose..... I don't think that one is better than the other... flip a coin.... they are two of my favorite sets!

I had a hard time choosing too between these two sets and I finally went with Simply Said ... I just thought that I would use it a lot more. I do LOVE the looks of Unfrogettable, but I just dont know if I would use it enough to get my money's worth. I'm not real creative either (that's why I case) and it seems that Unfrogettable has a lot of coloring, cutting etc. to go along with it. If you enjoy that, that's great ... but I went for Simply Said. However, whichever set you pick, you'll be happy with I'm sure!

I have struggled with this, too. I love the froggies (which I have already purchased), but Simply Said has some great images, too. I've gone back and forth, but have decided to wait for the new catalog. I don't particularly care for the sayings is Simply Said, and while I like the flowers, there are always new flower sets! To console myself, I keep looking at the Sneak Peek gallery for Sweet Shapes. :-)

I have both, but if I had to pick one, it would be Unfrogettable. I have used it the most and I love whimsical stamps!

Wow seems like 50/50 at this point! I couldn't decide between the two. I got both instead of getting Looks Like Spring. I LOVE both sets! They are fun and whimsical and fun to color in. Good luck deciding. If you must, flip a coin like an earlier post-er said.

Red face such a decision....

Both! I have read several people say the frog is easy to draw, though, and you could work around it that way....

I LOVE my Unfrogettable, but I don't have Simply Said. I have a ds who'll be 3 next month, and those frogs really come in handy for his scrapbook pages......lol!!! ;)

I had the exact same problem trying to choose last week when I was putting in my order, so I ended up ordering both. It was a tough decision, but one that had to be made. :mrgreen:

I have both and love them both but if I had to choose - I'd go w/ Simply Said. I feel like there is a wider range of cards you could do w/ that set. That said -- super hard choice b/c I LOVE Unfrogettable -- it's my favorite set right now.

I love simply said because of the variety of stamps in it. Although I love unfrogettable too! I wanted to buy it, but like you, could only choose one. I got dots and daisies for my 3rd during the background promo, so that makes it even more versatile.

I have Simply Said and love it, especially with Dots & Daisies. I don't like Unforgettable, I prefer the frogs in Frolicking Frogs, but then I don't really like cute. That's not strictly true, I like them, I just can't imagine who to send them to. My son is 7 and he and his friends would consider Unfrogettable too babyish and my friends and I prefer more sophisticated stamps.
Good luck with your choice though!

Oh, YIKES! It seems like there is no clear winner! I really love both sets, but I just don't know if I'd get enough use out of Unfrogettable since my boys are 9 and just about 12. They think it's a cool set though. I'd get both sets if I could, but I need to get one of the retiring sets too....Netherlands....have to keep up with my Dutch heritage. The windmill will make great tumbled tiles for my school's silent auction.

So, thanks a million for all your help!!! I think I'll go with Simply Said. My demo has Unfroggetable and says we can share especially since she doesn't have Simply Said.

Have a great stampin' week! Thanks again for all your suggestions!!!

I would get "simply said". We're probably not supposed to do this but... I trace the Unfroggetable froggies. It may not be as quick as stamping them but it works for me.

I have a SU class tonight and I've caved and decided to go with Unfrogettable. I have Simply Said also. I think that I would kick myself later if I didnt get this set ... and I'm sure that I can always trade it later if I want to, as others will be kicking themselves for not getting it, unless it shows up in the new IBC!

It all depends if you have younger kids,and go to a lot of birthday parties then I would say the frogs,Other wise if you don't and thier all grown up go with the simple said.It's very versatile.

I ended up ordering both of those sets. I'm so happy!! My demo sold a bunch of my old SAB sets on her rummage sale which gave me enough money to order both sets.

Thanks for all your advice.
