I'd like to get to know you a bit more and what better way then to learn about you through your stamps. There's obviously a huge SU group here and some CTMH, TAC, etc... So, what I don't want to do is offer a debate for who has better stamps.
So, tell me:
What are your top 5 (or 10 if you can't resist) stamp companies you like?
What would you call your stamping style?
What's your favorite stamping magazine(s)?
What stamp are you finding yourself using a lot right now?
I'll go first:
What are your top 5 (or 10 if you can't resist) stamp companies you like? aside from the SU and CTMH I like
Stampers Anonymous
Stamp Camp
Above the Mark

What would you call your stamping style? A bit confused. I would say I like the altered/collage look, but I do love to do a lot of elegant and cute projects as well.
What's your favorite stamping magazine(s)? Paper Crafts and Somerset
What stamp are you finding yourself using a lot right now? I haven't been stamping much lately, but the one I was hooked on is The Binding Edge, by Stampers Anonymous
What are your top 5 (or 10 if you can't resist) stamp companies you like? Stampin' Up!
The Angel Company
A Muse Art Stamps
Stampendous
M's $1 stamps...I think they are by Katie & Co.
What would you call your stamping style? My stamping style is whatever I can get out that day. I tend to hate my work and be really critical of myself and then not stamp a while. I really like the 'shabby chic' look with cards though, if that makes sense.
What's your favorite stamping magazine(s)? Right now I love Paper Crafts. I am really getting fond of Take Ten as well though....it has alot of neato things in it!
What stamp are you finding yourself using a lot right now? Using....using....my Prismacolor pencils. Sometimes I use gamsol to make them all pretty and sometimes I just color away with them. I love them either way. I've also been using my Niji Waterbrush alot. Scribble on plastic with a marker and then just pick the color up and paint away. Love it!

Ohh I uh....you said what STAMP. Duh. Natural Beauty and Peaceful Wishes by SU....err...Sorry, I will read better next time! ;)
What are your top 5 (or 10 if you can't resist) stamp companies you like?
I started with SU and that's pretty much it for me -- I have a few stamps from Mike's Joanne's and other sources, but since I became an SU demo it's been just SU for me.
What would you call your stamping style?
Simple and evolving. I still consider myself a beginner stamper, so the simpler the better as far as I'm concerned. I don't do a lot of layering, add a lot of embellishments, or do fancy techniques. I just try to stamp things that appeal to me, and hope that others will like them too.
What's your favorite stamping magazine(s)?
I like Paper Crafts and Rubber Stamper
What stamp are you finding yourself using a lot right now?
Snowflakes and Sleigh Full of Toys (making Christmas cards)
I don't think this is a 'who has better stamps' question. Although all stamps are not created equal - it all boils down to the same product. Each has their own positives, but what is good for the goose is not always good for the gander. A person could swear up and down that mounted and rubber a better than un-mounted and acrylics - but again what's good for one is not always what works best for the other.
You may also run into people who have never used one or the other - therefore they think theirs is definately 100% better than the other giving an opinion not based on experience & experimenting with different brands and types but it's based on their personal collection and what they have used.

It very hard to read your answer as you use PINK font colors.

I haven't tried the watercolor crayons, but love using the H2O brushes with the ink pads, pearl ex, twinkle thingies (can't remember the exact name). Are they easy to use?

Autumn Leaves - love the artsy flourishes and designs
Rubber Soul - an eclectic mixture of elegant and cute designs

That's tough - I'm very eclectic. I guess I usually try for an elegant feel - although I've been known to go a little crazy with my distressing kit from time to time!

Papercrafts- although since I started on SCS I don't have much time to read it anymore!
What stamp are you finding yourself using a lot right now?
Artfully Asian & Linen. When I first saw this set in the catalog I didn't like it, but now that I gave in and bought it, I LOVE it. My next favorite will probably be the Cat's Pajamas stamps I ordered but haven't arrived yet!

What are your top 5 (or 10 if you can't resist) stamp companies you like?
