Oh boy...just one?? I would have to say Natural Beauty. It is so great for many occasions. I am doing grad cards using the message from it. Plus it is beautiful. IMO.

Oh, and if you're trying to find a set you'll use and use and use, take your short list and go into the gallery. Look for sets that have lots of cards in the gallery and that has cards you like. The gallery actually sold me on Best of Cluck as I didn't really think much of it until I saw so many wonderful cards made with it!

Another vote for Natural Beauty; it can be masculine or feminine and can be for Birthdays, special occasions, even Sympathy cards can be bad with it.

I bought the mini watercolor set as my very first set and it is one of my favorites that I continue to use LOTS! It is so versitile since you can do a really small stamp or cluster a bunch of flowers togetrher and make a bigger stamp or make a scene!!

Well, Stampin' Up sealed it for me. I personally have not liked the last 3 - 4years of their catalog. Used to be I wanted every single thing in the book when it came out in July (same thing on the Minis), but lately my list has been smaller and smaller each year. I am very sad to see some of their most beautiful and useful sets going away. Glad I switched to other companies.

i would have to say... fun with shapes (stamp set).
you simply must have cheese cloth (BG) i know you didn't ask about BG- but maybe you forgot! LOL
my style is a bit different than most here tho! i like very simple designs.
good luck trying to pick! i have confidence tho that they will come out with plenty of stuff that we will just HAVE to have!
