Rubber Stamping & Scrapbooking with
"Time To Stamp" - January 2006
By Design Team Member Jeni Calkins

I'm having a great time playing with the wonderful images from Time to Stamp. They have beautiful original stamp designs, that you will not see anywhere else. Their designs are unique and versatile working well for scrapbooking, card making, and collage. With hundreds of images available there is a style to fit everyone's taste, such as photo stamps, femmes, Asian, collage, floral, holiday, fantasy, people, scenic, words, sayings and more. The stamps are available unmounted in sizes for every use. The stamps are priced between $1 and $6; the best deal is the full themed plates priced at $18. The stamps are the highest quality, deeply etched rubber and the sheets come with an index. They have fast and friendly services and are an angle company. I have used two superb plates to make my sample, Fashion and Odds & Ends, some other great plates to check out are the ATC plates with great backgrounds, Beach Memoirs that would be wonderful for an altered book, and Summer Flowers for some great scrapbook pages.
