it's hard for me to pick my favorite {ippity} set because i have a few.  one set that i love is all things are possible.   it's got great stamps that can be used for a cause such as breast cancer or for any occasion.  i made this set of atcs for a breast cancer atc swap i'm in.

stamps: ippity
cardstock: purely pomegranate, pink pirouette, s.e.i. pp
ink: purely pomegranate, bravo burgundy, spun sugar distress

another great set is the best,  because it has so many stamps that are very versatile and you can make many themes with it.
