Snow looks fantastic in a photo, just as long as it doesn't become reality!<br />Would love to help in your survey, but I've had a quick review of my own stamps and can't pick a favourite brand. I usually buy according to 'subject' so could be any manufacturer really.<br />I have Artemio, Woodware, Kanban Stampendous, Justrite, Papermania, Crafty Individuals, Tim Holtz and Creative Expressions (among others). Some are wood-mounted, but most are clear acrylic or photopolymer. Having tried a few I'm really not keen on un-mounted stamps. Hope this info is of interest if not at all helpful!<br />SueSusanP, Kentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6293323717542650715.post-40078384635300760732014-02-27T14:50:27.204+00:002014-02-27T14:50:27.204+00:00Have filled in the survey, I am quite new to stamp...Have filled in the survey, I am quite new to stamping so don't have a lot of experience and hadn't heard of all of the stamp ranges.

Snow will be coming as it has returned to Barrie, Ontario and we always get their weather a couple of weeks later. The forecast says it's coming but they can't say where yet! Anyway, have completed the survey. I have been a customer of Anna Marie Designs for quite a few years and buy direct from her that's the only reason I haven't ticked her. Most of the others I don't know anything about. Creative Expressions, who are not on the list, are now doing a lot of singles stamps which come already mounted and are not too expensive. There are often matching dies. It will be interesting to see the results of the survey but I would also like to see some other dies on the website, especially those that match the stamps. Have a lovely day.

I imagine that your London job has rather different scenery, especially if your office is in the square mile! (Sorry I'm not a fan of modern architecture !) Snow flurries have been forecast for Oxfordshire tomorrow. it has got a little colder over the last couple of days but we had a beautiful blue sky all day yesterday. So uplifting. Think we are in for a bit of winter now though : ( I'm not complaining though as we have stayed safe, warm and dry, unlike so many other poor souls over the last few months. I am off to complete your survey. One problem when you start out in card making, or any hobby for that matter, is deciding which brands and goods to buy. I find personal recommendation is by far the best way to help me decide. If you craft on a very tight budget, as I do, you really can't afford to make mistakes. I do wish we could test items though, shame we can't get tiny samples of inks, alcohol pens and papers etc. That would be so helpful. Never mind your survey results will be very interesting. Have a good day.
