11/01/2010 Open Mike Monday (OMM)

Have you noticed a trend? A craft-related question and then a non-craft related question? ;)

Question: Who makes your favorite rubber or acrylic stamps?

Cammy: I have to say Paper Pretties. As you know, I LOVE & ADORE cute kid stamps and Sophia and Cooper are right up my alley. With all the new sets being released now that they are under new ownership, my collection is growing again. I'm happy to report quite a few have actually seen ink.

Jeanie (IS BACK!!!): Ooooh I have so many I like, it's hard to say which is my favorite (besides Bugaboo that is!) Hmmmm, ok here goes.... Stamping Bella, MFT, Whipper Snapper, PTI, Ladybug Crafts Ink, The Greeting Farm, Moonlight Whispers, Penny Black.

Jenny: I love PTI and Verve's clear stamps the best!

Joy: i would have to say it's a toss up of MFT and Papertrey. I love the stamps and dies for both!

Melissa: On this one is easy. Tim Holtz! They are very versatile sets and they are great to use as a main image or as accents. I have to admit though I rarely make anything these days that is not Digi Stamp related. It sure didn't take me long to fall in love with these things.

Michele: This is easy! I love There She Goes stamps they are fun and different - but I also have a weakness for PTI.

Min: I fell in love with House Mouse Stamps....before I found Bugaboo. I love the cute little mice MUCH MORE in rubber, not so much when they build their wither home in our grill!

Paul: The only other company that I have a LOAD of is Elzybells. It's a shame they went out of business recently as they were producing brilliant things.

Rae Anne: The Cat's Pajamas in acrylic stamps and A Muse Art Stamps in rubber stamps.

Sandye: Easy answer for me! It is Papertrey Ink--my second favorite stamp/image company. Of course, Bugaboo is first!!!!!

Tammy: I like Melissa have to admit that I rarely "stamp" these days due to my love of Bugaboo, the ease and versatility of digi stamps however some of my favs, I have a lot that is why I have so many sets that I no longer use, but love Whipper snapper, Rosies Roadshow, Stamping Bellas, Mft, Pti, see I told you it was long, my problem is I don't have favorites, I like them all!

Lesley: (GD for 11/2010): I would have to say that The Greeting Farm and Stamping Bella are my favorite rubber stamps but I rarely buy them anymore with all the cute digi's that are out there.

We've got two terrific projects for ABC Monday on our challenge blog, Catch the Bug, so make sure you drop by and check them out! :D

I like Penny Black Stamps. They are whimsical and cute very much like Bugaboo stamps. I always smile when I use either Penny Black or Bugaboo!

I have 2 favourite Lili of the Valley and Sugar nellie (in alphabetical order) love both of these and they are quite different too but cute in their own way too.

I am going to just go for flat out quality. I prefer unmounted good red rubber. The best red rubber I have found is Sweet Pea Stamps and SCACD. They are stamp perfectly and the detail I can get with the Sweet Pea ones is amazing. I know, I am on the DT, but that also means I have stamped a LOT of their images and have NEVER EVER had an issue. Even my friend who used to make stamps is impressed with the quality of theirs.

Not so fond of acrylic, but will buy it if I really MUST have the image.
