Lets talk Alphas!!!

First off...I really don't like when kits don't come with alphas..lol

that said what's your "go to" alpha?

I'm addicted to the bead alphas and Robin's DooDots. I'm an alphaoholic though I can never have too many. Show me your fave alpha from the store!
 
I have a couple favorites - Fee's Dotty Alpha and Micheline's "From The Ground Up" have been my Sweet Shoppe faves that I go to again and again, and I'm recently digging Libby's "Painted Chippy Alpha" and I can see that becoming another go-to alpha....
 
I love these ones by Zoe:

the funny thing is that I have about 6 or 8 alpha's I have purchased from the shoppe but very rarely do I use them....I only buy kits with Alpha's in them so I am usually OK. I do however seem to snatch up just about every freebie alpha I can find (yep, don't use them much either, thank goodness for my EHD)
 
wait. something terribly wrong here. I don't have a lot of these. :huh:

(i do have the Zoe's Crinkle-bets)
 
I'm all about all of Zoe's alphas. I love crinklebets, and the color your own ones, and the down and dirty pairs (which I think are retiring??).

I have a few of Shawna's too, the stitched ones. I like Traci's Free Spirit Alpha too.
 
If Zoe or Fee make them, I love them. Crinklebets & the Color Your Own Alphas from Zoe are some of my favorites.
Big Adventure Alpha by Fee


Traci's Foamy Stamped Alpha


Stripes by Fee


Messy Boy Print by Lauren


And I LOVE the alpha in SKippy Doo Da by Lauren:
 
Ditto what Kellie said, if it's Fee's and Zoe's, youd bet Id be using them over and over.

I also love Misty's Yummy Letters!!!!

Colour Your Own Alpha by Zoe is so versatile, great choice, I'm glad to have it.
I also love her Hand-Painted Alphas and they're in Going Going Gone now!
 
I don't dare start buying alphas. I think my dh would cut me off from buying any more scrap stuff for a long time if I did right now,lol. All those are wonderful and I'd love to have em all (i do have a couple).:p
 
I see a couple I like but didn't dare buy anything right now. I spent so much for the Going, Going, Gone sale and I have to wait until my paycheck comes in..
 
My 2 most used alphas are "Chic Chipboard" by Dani and bead alpha by Micheline. If you look at my pages these 2 alphas are probably on just about all of them!!
 
I am an alpha freak too! Buy them and then hoard them mostly but I use Traci's Graphically Grunged Alpha a ton but they are only in her store not SSD sorry!

I told you I was an alpha junky! :)
 
I second so many of those alphas- but I don't think anyone has mentioned this set. I picked it up at the GGG sale: 365 everyday alpha collection. An oldie but a goodie!

I picked up Misty's going places alpha, looks SUPER fun with those wonderful colors :) Oh and I second Libby's painted chipboard set.

I heart alphas.
 
Another alpha-o-holic here. :) I think my most-used alpha is, by far, Micheline's "Bead Factory" alpha.
I also use Christy's "Stitched Velour" alphas (they are so easy to re-color too)

man, i should not have opened up this thread. i see some that i have, and some that i simply must have, lol. funny thing is, i used to hate alpha. rather, i usually just used the type tool most of the time. i still do, but have discoved the joy of alpha!

Click to expand...

I used to be the exact same way Corey!
I hated Alphas...Now I use them all the time...LOL
 
I love all of Fee's alphas! I'm also love a lot of Shawna's, too. Alphas are my weakness, though I haven't been using them as much lately.
