What's your go-to alpha?

I will admit I am not to great with working the titles and mixing alphas. I long to be great at it but it doesn't come naturally for me. One thing I noticed is that I tend to reach for the same alpha and that alpha happens to be this little beauty by Krista:


I think it's because in my paper scrapping days I loved using stamp alphas.
So what's your favorite alpha? Is there one you use over and over again? We wanna see.
 
This one I use a fair bit:


And this one is another fave:


I totally love a good alpha...can't wait to see what everyone posts...I definitely feel like you can't ever have too many alphas.

Oh, what a great thread... I LOVEEEE alphas and I LOVEEEE mixing alphas for a good title :D

There are a few alphas that I used more than one time ;)

...and this one by Kate is the one that comes in my mind asking about a good alpha!


perfect for mixing is this alpha


I also used this a lot


when a red alpha is needed... this one`s one of my favorites


and this is new but perfect for mixing :)


Oh *phew* I`d tell so much more alphas :D
 
ooh, these are great ones!!
I LOVE alphas and I use a lot of CD's a LOT!!

I also love Messy Marker Alpha by Valorie that is retired--we should convince her to 'un-retire' it!!

Kim's Spell it and CD's alphas are some of my faves. I also loooooooove these Tiny Alphas by Amy M. I use them so much. They go with everything!

These are also my new faves - Michelle's Just My Type. I think I will use them a lot!

I use this one a TON!


and these... apparently I have a thing for small alphas LOL:




I also really like these:


 
Oh boy, I see some stamp alphas in here that I have totally missed in the store. Those will definitely have to go in my cart. I am in agreement with you, Becky, I think Valorie should bring that alpha back.
 
i think all of the alphas in the pad are pretty darn amazing. each one is different yet so cool in their own way (along with the other designs as well!) :love
 
*sigh* alphas! i LOVE them :beat
stamped alphas and marker alphas and painted alphas are some of my fave's. lots of them have already been shown here.

This alpha should def come out of retirement!
 
i loooooove the variety of alphas here!
they definitely covers every need there might be! :)

my top 4:

1. coconut ice by kaye winiecki
my first "serious" (lol!) alpha-love. i mean; look at that texture!! if it was easier to recolor i would probably use it on every page i made :p


2. sloppy stencils by michelle godin
my recent go-to-alpha. believe me, every digi scrapper needs this in their stash!!


3. stamped 3 times by kaye winiecki
i love this because you actually get 3 awesome alphas in one package. it's a steal!


4. art note alphas by cd. muckosky
this is what opened my eyes for cd.muckosky :beat



currently in my mental wish list:

1. burst my bubble by kim jensen
this is so awesomely geniously perfect!!


2. worn scuffed chipboard alpha by sahlin studio
amazing texture + chipboard and my heart sings!


3. all sports by kate hadfield
doodled uppercase letters <3 so versitale - can be a great touch on any layout!
 
Okay Ladies!

I have a total weakness for alphas and I had to go use my challenge coupon with the sale this weekend to go snag a bunch of these alphas! Thanks for the eye candy! I don't much time to browse the store, so this was very helpful to me (just don't mention it to the hubby, haha!).

I had to get Markerific (CD), All Sports Alpha (kate), Scruffy & Stripey (kate), and My type of alpha (michelle).

I'm so excited to play with these! Thanks for the awesome tips! :)
 
I think I've used Free Spirit by CD Muckosky more than any other:

 
these are another set i love... and as i look through all the TLP alpahs, geez there are SO many good ones i've forgotten about!
