Do you have to have them with every kit?
Not at all, I agree with what Robin & Reba said. If I'm being honest, I'd say 95% of the time, I do not use the alpha that comes with the kit.
I think the patterned ones are pretty, but I can't use them. Sometimes I can use the glittery ones, but rarely. I really like simple, solid colors. A little thicker usually, and I also like a nice small alpha. I tend to make my titles with small/big words.
Do you use them on every page?
Usually, unless I have a premade title.
Do you have ones that you use over and over?
Yes, I will often purchase just a set of alphas if I see a nice neutral set. I have some from several retired designers I've been using for probably 10 years that I still use over and over again. Zoe Pearn, Fee Jardine, Shawna Clingerman & Julie Billingsley I still regularly use their alphas in layouts.
