Default Time Well Spent or Crab & Company?

If you had to choose between those two, which would you choose? I know you cant just buy time well spent but just pretend they are equal. Do you think one is more versatile than the other?

Let me know what you think!

I am biased because I am a collector of all things crabby...so Crab & Company gets my vote.

I have Time Well Spent and have only used it 1 time or 2 maybe, I cant remember but I do think it's a pretty set and love what other people do with it.

Crab and Company is good if you have kids to give to or men or "beachy" friends, too

I think the crabs are way better. But I'm totally biased, I LOVE those crabs and do not care for Time Well Spent very much. (although people make awesome stuffs with it)

I vote Crab

I say crab & company too! It is just more versatile then the time well spent.
You can make birthday and holiday cards with it. I have both and use the crab way more often

I have wanted the Crab & Co set for so long because it is just sooo cute! I don't have any kids but I still think I could make a million cute cards out of it.

BUT we made a bunch of really cute cards with the Time Well Spent set at stamp camp the other week.

But I think you guys might be right... crab and company just might be the better choice!

Default time well spent or crab and company

if anyone has time well spent and dosen't want it i will gladly take it off you hands. i used at workshop and loved it. but i can't buy it and it is level three hostess set. and there are only or two that i have seen on ebay going for 5 or 60 bucks, too much for me...

I wanted Crab & co so bad...I got it, Mounted it and have not used it yet. I also have not used the Time Well Spent. I want to get to using these two and the Crab set is my pick of the two. I have just been so busy doing the soldier cards....Big job.
Blessings.

i'll go against the grain and vote for Time Well Spent I don't have either set, but in looking at them it seems that Time Well Spent would be more versatile? i think the crabs are cute but i probably wouldn't use them much which is why i vote for the other.

I agree, very versatile! I have both and reach for the crab for a lot more. Maybe it depends on WHO you're making a card for?

I did really cute Christmas cards with the crab dressed in the santa hat. Now I'm working on V-day cards with him. He's just too cute!

And FWIW, I don't think I would have picked Time well spent as my level 3... it was a gift from SU to all demonstrators, so I use it. Other than that, I probably wouldn't.

Crab & Co get my vote! Although a bit biased living in MD...my husband loves all things crabby. At our wedding we had crab cakes for an appetizer, a giant crab cake at the rehersal dinner, and the grooms cake? You guessed it...shaped like a bushell of crabs. I used this set to make a cute anniversary card for him, the crab was holding two punched out hearts =)

CRAB AND CO.!!!!!!!!!

I bought the crabs last year when they were in the mini catalog and I have loved them!

But when I was sent 'Time well spent' I quickly traded it. I used it once and it is NOT for me.

Although I like Time Well Spent, I love my Crab & Company! It is so versatile and cute. I live in a resort town and it just fits! I enjoy seeing everyone's awesome creations using this set!

I have to say I'm a little surprised that practically ALL of the votes are for Crab & Company!! But you're right it is a great set!!
