I'm wondering if any uses their products and how are they compared to Stampin up, also would like info on Creative Memories cutting system

I'll let you know in a few days. I just ordered a few sets because of the March special. In the past, I haven't been too enamored with acrylic stamps because of the poor image, but those were cheap-o alphabets f/M*'s. I can't believe I've strayed, but I've ordered stamps from CTMH and Eat Cake Graphics this week, instead of SU. Yikes! ld

I have the Creative Memories cutting system and it's great. I personally like it better than the coluzzle (which for the life of me I just couldn't get to work right) Definately worth getting.
I love CTMH stuff for my scrapbooking. I do have a few of the Acrylic stamps and they work great I just for some reason like the wood mounted stamps with SU much better I think it's all in what you are used too.

The most obvious difference is CTMH stamps are acrylic and SU! stamps are wood mounted rubber.

CTMH has a lot to offer the scrapbooker with the my reflection kits and coordinating accessories.

I personally use both, but am a demo for CTMH.

If you are curious about CTMH and would like to try the products yourself you can go to www.closetomyheart.com and use the consultant locator (the tab is in the upper right hand corner) to find a consultant in your area

Thanks everyone, after I posted the question I went to a stamp and scrap and there was also a CTMH demo there and she should me somethings. And I went to the dark side because of the special and ordered somethings. I too really like the way their scrap stuff looks like. I should get my order soon.

I like CTMH for the alphabets, and the 2 step stamping sets. Overall I prefer wood mounted rubber stamps...but the clear acrylix definately have some plusses. CTMH has great scrapping kits also. I'm sure you'll be happy with what you bought. One thing with the acrylix...you don't have to push down as hard as you do with rubber (you'll get a clearer image with less pressure) and each set comes with a little sheet of foam...put the foam under your paper when you're stamping to give it some cushion. This is especially important with larger images to get a clear image.

HTH.
