Question Help me pick a Background Stamp!

Ok, I want to purchase three background stamps this month for the Special, but I'm obsessing over which stamps to get!

I know I'm going to get Print Pattern and Linen, but what should be my Third?

I already have Canvas, and I have another company's french script. So which other should i get?

I have the following Stamp sets:

Best Blossoms
Kids at Play
Cute Critters
Nature's Wonders
Little Pieces
Crayon Kids
Totally Cool
Miracle of Spring
Hang in There
Words from Wanda


I'm thinking about getting Classic Pick-ups.

Based on this list what would you purchase?

Thanks!

Default my 2 cents :)

I totally feel your pain!!!!!! I want to get 3 this month as well. I am for sure getting Weathered.... I never gave that one a second thought before, but have recently discovered that I aboslutely have to have it! So that would be my suggestion. Another one that might go good with the sets you have would be Crosshatch. (another one I am debating on getting) Have fun choosing! I think there are so many great backgrounds I am sure the one you pick will be super!

I would go with crosshatch. Looking at your list I am guessing you have kids, and I think this background goes great with kid stuff.

This is one of my favorite backgrounds...I use it all the time! It looks great stamped with the canvas

Let us know what you decide...

Based on your stamp sets, I would say Crosshatch. HTH!

Of all you listed, Crosshatch would be most likely to compliment the assorted stamp sets you have in your possession.

I chose Soft Swirls because of all of my BG stamps (and I have a bunch) I use that one the most. Crosshatch would have been my second choice.

I voted for Weathered but I would say it's a toss-up between that and Crosshatch. Either one of those would work well with the sets you have.
