What SU stamps do you like to use on your scrapbook pages?
I am just getting into scrapbooking, and I'm already hopelessly addicted to stamping, so I was wondering what SU products you guys like to use for scrapping. I'm hosting my first SU party Friday evening, and I'd like to have a list of sets ready for my own order!
Letter sets are a must. I also love Just Journaling I, Everyday Flexible phrases, Both the font CD's, letter perfect backgrounds, any of the sets on pages 174-175 (helps you make your own adorable coordinating papers).
Alphabet sets, just journaling - use those all the time. Loved Paint Prints for making background paper - vary the color and vary the season from spring (subtles) to summer (sunflower) to fall (earths) to Christmas (red and green). Lexicon of love is great, too. Bold butterfly, shapes sets, buttons, bows, and twinkletoes, toy box , in full bloom, and crayon kids come to mind, too.
I'm weird--I hate to stamp letters in my scrapbooks! I do all my lettering with my computer (and SU! fonts ). I just worked on an album for my father's funeral and found that Lovely as a Tree, and All Natural worked well for simple pages.
Yes...alphabets are definitely a must have and I also use the Just Journaling I and II a lot. I also like the Mini Mates because it has a little bit of everything in it. Prepare yourself for another "addiction"!! At least the two hobbies work well together.
These are the sets I use the most in scrapbooking...
1. Simply Circles
2. Everyday Flexible Phrases
3. Phrase Starters 11
4. All of the alphabet sets
5. both journaling CD's
6. Wheels
7. Shapes and Shadows
8. Little Layers 1,2 and Plus

I don't like to use the alphabet sets. I have to hard of a time getting them to line up straight. I use the fonts. Any kind of back ground stamp is a must.
These are just a few...any alphabet sets, EFP, Stipple Celebrations, Shape and Shadows, Polkadot Party, Holiday Basics, Little Layers (all of them), Sketch an Event, Season's Sketches, Bold Butterfly, Fishy Friends, Bug Builders, Sporting Goods...I could keep going, but those are the ones I use the most.
i use the alphabet sets and everyday flexible phrases the most. like bellamare, I hate lining the alphabets up, so I alway use them in a situation where they are supposed to crooked, or I punch out title squares and stamp one letter in each square. I cheat on lining up the letters!!
The only stamping in a scrapbook that I've done so far is one that you only use 3 sheets of paper to create an entire 6x6 album. The set that I used was Buttons, bows & twinkle toes. I can't wait to get Toy Box too (so I can do a book for my son).
Oh... and if you have kids, definately get the Animal Alphabet!
Everyone is different - I have the font CDs but rarely use them b/c I don't want to compromise the acid free atmosphere I work so hard to maintain (i can use acid free paper, but it's pretty hard to find acid free printer ink!). If I do print outs, I put them in plastic sleeves (paraphinallea pockets - I have NO IDEA how to spell that :oops: )
I LOVE the Little Layers Plus (hostess) in my scrapbooks, Lexicon of Love, Everyday Flexible Phrases, Alphabets, Camp Out (I thinks that's what it's called - retired), Wonderful Words, Botanicals, Birthday Greetings, Canvas, All Year Cheer I...
Actually, I think I use ALL my stamps in my scrapbooks.
I guess I wasn't very helpful But I think you should be able to use whichever set you want! Everything fits!

I have 3 DSs so, I use Roughing It, Bug Builders, Toy Box, and of course the oh so cute baby sets like I'm Here and A New Little Someone. I also like the Everyday Flexible Phrases and Phrase Starters. When I first started scrapbooking, I bought the little sets like Let's Party, Trick Or Treat, and Happy Spring. I use these alot and they were only $11.95 each!! I also bought one Winter/Christmas set (I have added many since) and Fall Whimsy. These sets gave me a great selection to do scrapbook pages of photos taken at different family holiday gatherings. I also have many alphabet sets, but probably use either Bold Alpha or Simple Type Alpha the most.
1) Alphabets...any, all, big, small, numbers, u/c, l/c...it doesn't matter!!
2) Canvas b/g stamp to get that Bazzill Basics Paper look w/out the price!
3) Any 2-Step Stampin' set - easier to switch color choices for a new look than to switch stamp sets.
That's about it. ~ K
