$50 to spend...what company would you buy?
We just got our supplements and I'm taking $50 to buy some new stamps. What stamps or stamp company would you buy from?
Links would be great!

In no particular order, here are some faves I've bookmarked:
Clear Photopolymer Stamps
Kitchen Sink Stamps
Crafty Secrets
Flourishes
Verve
Rubber Stamps, mostly UM but some stores like Cornish Heritage Farms offers all their products on wood blocks as well as UM.
Purple Onion
Cornish Heritage Farms (lovelove their backgrounders, esp the newest ones!!!)
Stamp Camp
All That Scraps sells C. C. Designs , among other awesome companies like Gina K. Designs!
Stamp Out Cute
Tuscan Rose
These offer some of the harder-to-find images, like sports (ballet, hockey, etc), military, outdoor activities (snowmobiling, skiing, etc).
Custers Last Stamp
A Fistful of Stamps
The Stampin Place
I've never heard/seen anyone say/type a bad word about any of these online stores, myself. I would not hesitate to place an order with any (all!) of them!

I agree with stillstampin' and take advantage of Sale-a-Bration (ok, I admit, I'm totally biased, lol!)

I love so many things from the new SU! catalog that I'm not allowing myself to even look elsewhere for a while. I also love (NEED) 3 of the SAB sets.

splurge!
With
Whipper Snapper stamps! Ok, they are really expensive. But they are so darn cute. Have you seen SweetMissDaisy's (Anna Wight) new spring designs? They are too die for and will be stamps you can use forever. I always buy about a dozen WhipperSnapper images a year since that is all I can afford. But they are among my most fave stamps of all time. Whimsical, quirky, fun.....I wonder who is on their design team? I'd LOVE to be on their team. I'd even start blogging again if I could be on that team! LOL!!

I'm an SU! girl all the way, but if I was ever going to go with another company, it would be Papertrey Ink, so that's who I'd recommend. I just love their sets and I've heard nothing but fabulous things about their quality. Their new Take a Bough set is just gorgeous! Once I've placed my big sale-a-bration order with SU!, I'm going to start thinking about which Papertrey Set to get!

Frugalities has a sale now 47% off. They have 101 stamp sets from all different makers.
I have ordered several times from them with good service. The prices can't be beat!! My money goes alot further with them, even with shipping costs.
