I'm not too crazy about the Sellabration sets. I might get noteworthy but am wondering if some of the stamp sets I'll want later after it's too late. I was thinking noteworthy would be good with the EFP as well. What do you all think?

I'm wondering the same thing! As a demo, I can preorder sets this month for a set price, but I'm not sure which I really want. I think the Tag set, for sure,Best Blossoms, and maybe Send a Celebration because it's made to fit on the little note cards in the winter mini. I'm just not sold on the others, yet. Alphabet Soup is too busy looking and jumbled for me, and even though I've seen nice samples, I don't think I really like it. Gently Falling looks like something that'll sit in my closet and rarely get used. The jury's still out for Noteworthy, too.
I got them all (I'm a demo) - it was just too difficult to decide on which ones so I ordered all 6 - plus the fact that they are limited to just SAB this year made me think I might as well get them all rather than regretting it later!!
I am probably going to end up with them all, though I don't really care much about Alphabet Soup. It might grow on me or I might trade/sell it later on.

The only one I preordered was Noteworthy, and I love it! You can make the simplest, but most elegant cards with that set. It works really well with the 3x3 cards from the Winter Mini too. I have made a bunch of these for gift enclosures for baby showers, wedding showers/gifts, etc. My mom always comes to my house and steals my wrapping paper and a card, so I am giving her a bunch of wrapping paper, and a bunch of these cards made with Noteworthy for her bday. Maybe then she'll stay out of my stash!!!!

I'm ordering the tag punch set now, because I liked the tags SAB set.
Even though I only see myself using the tags and Noteworthy sets right now, I'm actually going to get one of each of the sets.
I still remember when I first saw the Floral background in the catty, I thought it was so ugly. Now it's on my SAB list after seeing all the wonderful cards SCS'rs have made with it. :mrgreen:

For me it will Best Blossoms and Noteworthy. If I earn more, I'll probably go with the tag set (I didn't like the tag stamps in the kit, so I don't have the punch...but I can cut them out without a problem).
Best Blossoms is my favorite, but I will probably end up getting them all... I belong to a Stampin' 10 group, my workshop is in January. And, I'm signing up to be a demo on April 17 (tax day), so I'm ordering lots of supplies at my workshop to get the free product. I'm not real thrilled with most of this years SAB sets, but I figure I can sell them or use them for door prizes or hostess gifts.
I think Best Blossoms and Noteworthy will give you a lot of bang for the buck. Last year, I really didn't like Lexicon of Love, but I ended up using it a lot after it grew on me!
Have any of you considered cutting and mounting the message apart from the image for the Gently Falling set? For example, I think the image for the peace card could be made to look like bubbles or bubble bath with the word "enjoy" from the other stamp. (What is the image supposed to be for the peace card, anyway? Is it falling bubbles, snow, hail, dandruff? It's a little ambiguous!)
The only ones I really like are Alphabet Soup and Best Blossoms. The rest of them really aren't my style. But, I'm signing up to be a Demo in January, so I will probably get one of the others just to Demo with (maybe noteworthy or Gently falling). I can't stand Send a Celebration or the Too Terrific Tags sets. I guess there's something for everyone.

I really like the Too Terific Tags even thought I didn't buy the Terrific Tags box in the Winter Mini. The images would be easy to cut with a cutter. I really like Alphabet Soup - very unique looking.
