If I have to pick one I couldn't part with it would be Etruscan. It is such a versatile set. And a very elegant image.
:-) But it is soooo hard to pick one!!!!

Mine are a toss-up between Lovely Leaves and Roses in Winter. Love those sets!
Oops! Didn't see the part about which word stamps are my favorite. Wonderful Words and Simple Sayings II are the ones I love to use the most. My favorite would have to be Wonderful Words. So beautiful!
My favorite is still DD HYDRANGEA. When my demo gave me my hostess packet a few years ago, she had stamped the hydrangea on the envelope. I loved it from the first time I saw it. It's the best 2-step stamp set ever!
Set: Bold Hearts and Flowers boy I loved that set! I never use it anymore...but I'll never get rid of it!!
Words: Bold Hearts and Flowers! I do still use the words.

All Natural is my current fave for images, being one of the most versatile as far as being able to make both masculine and feminine cards for so many different occasions.
I don't have a whole lot of word sets yet and have been relying mainly on the word stamps that are part of other image sets, but AYC I and II are on my Christmas wish list and I plan to order Wonderful Words at my workshop in a few weeks. I love how the words have been used in conjunction with images to make things like kite strings!
Of the word stamps that I do have, Simple Sayings II is probably the best!

Lovely as a Tree, by far! If every set was as versatile as this one, I'd be one happy gal!
As for words, how can you choose between the AYC sets??? Also Wonderful Words? (Wouldn't it be great to have more word set in the same style as Wonderful Words?)
Sketches is my favorite set. It's not my most used, but I think the original Sketches, and the other similar sets are just beautiful. They evoke wonderful memories of the ocean, and times on the beach. (or as we say in South Jersey, the Shore)
Wonderful words goes well with the Sketches, and many other sets.
Sometimes you want to fill a space quickly. Wonderful words is great for that.

K, so this is dating me also! I have been a demonstrator for 7 years. Flashy Florals is one of my all time favorites. Right now, I think it is In Full Bloom.
I kinda liked it when the catalog came out. Because of you fine ladies I had to buy it and now I love it! Thanks!
Funky Favorites- hands down. I love the Mary Englebriet (spelling?) look that it has. The many different stamps makes it very versatile. I guess this is dating me also.
Button and Bow Bear sets were also cute and popular.
This is a old set but I still use "Party Animals". I love it for kids cards....plus the words and the party hat, balloon, present, and cake can be used for so many things. I still love this one. I love Wonderful words too, and another top favorite is Petal Prints...there is so much you can do with it.
okay - i have funky favorites and think i have only used it once!!! two people listed it as a favorite, but there aren't any samples in the gallery. caould you guys download some toencourage me not to sell mine?
my favorites: always loved bugs and slugs, but lately i am into the shape sets - simply circles and similar
words: wonderful words is my new favorite here, but ayc sets have always been great.

My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it's on your plate. Thornton Wilder
that Bold Hearts and Flowers is one of my favs too! Its one of the first sets I ever bought before I was a demo and I just WILL NOT get rid of it because it is so cool.
I have always loved all fantasy type things and although Dreams and Dragons isnt very practical I still love the images.
I had been checking them out on eBay but was too cheap to pay $100 that the sets were going for. When I heard SU was bringing back a few sets out of retirement I crossed my fingers that this would be one of them and was ecstatic when it was the very first one brought back.
As far as word sets go, I usually dont care much for them but I absolutely LOVE alot of the sets that are in the current catty. SS 1 and 2 and Wonderful Words are the best.
Also worth mentioning are the Alphadots because they fit perfectly inside the small round punch and give me an easy 'wow' when demo'd with the dimensionals.
My absolute favorite set is "Lovely As A Tree." This set can be used for so many varieties of cards. I just can't go wrong with this fav. old set!

Well noone has mentioned this one. Though I know that many disliked the set I am about to mention.
My favorite and the first set I every bought was Tree Sampler. I still love this set and I still use it. I can do any occasion any time of the year with it.
what is your FAVORITE set EVER?
