OK... Everyone else is doing it! I keep going back and forth on what my third BG stamp will be.... Floral or Simple Stripes. Which would I use more? My style.... I like my flower stamps, but I LOVE my cutesy stamps. This back and forth thing is driving me nuts! Which one? LOL!
I'm getting:
1. Linen
2. Dots & Daisies
3.
I already have:
Print Pattern
Houndstooth
Crosshatch
Canvas
Cheesecloth
Just Jeans
Paisley
French Script
Weathered
when I saw the floral in the catalog, it didn't really catch my eye, but seeing some of the work done with it, I think it's fabulous! I'm definitely getting it when I place my next order (probably in a few days). If you HAVE to, for a couple weeks or so, you can draw your own stripes if you need them, till you can get the striped one. Spring and summer are around the corner, florals will be "in"... go with the floral is my vote.

I have Floral and love it! However, I've seen some AWESOME cards with Simple Stripes (a background I never noticed before) lately. I'm also going to take advantage of the special this month and am contemplating Simple Strips. Decisions, decisions -- what's a girl to do?

I don't like the floral in the catty AT ALL...Since I have seen things done with it, I've falleni n love...now I just have to find some more time to stamp!
Floral--Hands down. I just got mine a couple of weeks ago and just love it. (Wonder how I got along so long without it!) The cattie does not do justice to it. There are some beautiful cards in the gallery. You won't be sorry.

I love floral and bought it based on the gallery not the catty! Simple stripes would also make a nice background for floral sets, especially to give the look of a wall hanging. Also, by moving Simple Stripes, you can create diamonds or plaids so you get additional backgrounds. Still, if I could only chose one, it would be floral.
Thanks ladies! I went to my stampin' 10 group today and ended up getting Floral. If Simple Stripes is on the retired list, I will probably get it next month!
