    I have a lot of her styles but I love them all, no favorite here. Cath, if you are not sure about the styles, she has quite a few beautiful kits in the store as well and they are all on sale!

    I'd say her shadow styles! I got a lot of comments about my pages, complimenting my shadows....and it's all @mommyish work! I use most often other pack with dynamic shadows, but I have this one posted by Jennifer too.

    All of them HA HA.. I love them all! Really!

    Try out the freebie scatter one too that she is giving for the LOD.. I had used multi colors as I was scattering! That comes with both the brush and then the paper style for the scatter.

    Cath, this was in the LOD post but in case you missed it, Mommyish has a youtube channel with videos showing how to use some of her styles. You might watch a few to see what you think.

    Some of her styles come with brushes and/or actions and typically those are the ones that have videos. If that seems too complicated, don't be discouraged. She has many products that are just styles and they are easy peasy!

    Also, my tip, remember you can use CU products in PU layouts and since they have a higher discount, you might check those out. (Although I think most of her styles are CU anyway.)

    Here's the youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/user/leahriordan

    I use her styles all the time. I rely on her shadow styles for just about every layout. Her Dynamic Shadow styles are my favorite.

    I also use these sticker styles for word arts when I want to use them as a title.

    I have a ton of her styles. The ones I use the most are the wood styles, like these

    or if you want a bunch of different styles in one pack, these would be great

    Apart from drop shadows, my most commonly used styles are Just The Basics that @janedee posted above. I use them on pretty much every layout.

    I also love the stitching and paper tear actions.

    I'm sitting here all "ALL THE STYLES ARE THE FAVORITE STYLES!" hahaha :D I'm all about the new/shiny but "Starter" styles the shadow styles and the "just the basics" are a GREAT set to get a feel for layer styles. I like to call them "one-click wonders" because they can completely change the look of something with just one little click.

    Just the Basics is a very good one to get because there is lots in there. And I use the Holiday Style 2018 glitter styles all the time

    I use these Flair styles to add to a kit - just add the style to a circle (or other shape) piece of patterned paper and you magically have an element that matches the kit perfectly:

    And these from the September 2018 BYOC have almost every colour you would ever want, and I use the sticker and thicker styles on titles made from fonts:

    I'm not sure I can explain it well. But that first set of styles I posted kind of gives a dynamic shading effect to the layers.
