LINKS, links and more LINKS!
Over the years, you find that there are websites that stand the test of time and you visit them over and over again. Maybe even become friends with the owners, make new friends or find new and interesting bargains to purchase from these sites. Below I have list some that I just love & think should be shared around. They are nearly all stamping/paper/crafting related.
Please advise me if you find a link not working. Usually, websites I put links to here, will be pretty consistant.

STAMPING TOP50 AUSTRALIA - well what can I say?
OZSTAMPERS, my first online stamping family. There are about 420 or so members now compared to about 75 whenI joined 7 years ago. This online community has been one of support and friendship right from the day I joined. You will find like minded stamp artists with swaps, news about what's happening with the group, special interest gatherings, such as Paperific festivals & Stamping Down Under conventions being held in different capital cities around Australia. You have to apply to join, but it's well worth it!
Want to visit one of the, if not THE best Paper Arts Festivals around?
Then go visit
Stacey also has her own company where she manufactures beautiful polymer stamps, all her own creations. She also has loads of other things like glues, slide mounts, japanese paper packs, inks, glitters etc. You can visit her stamp shop at:
MY STAMPS is a company owned by the most amazing lady I've met in a long time. Cathy Daulman, originally from Zimbabwee, now resides in Melbourne, Australia. She would have to be one of the most creative and innovative people in the business. Want to know how to do a technique? Want ideas on using everyday house hold items in your crafts? Cathy is your lady.
Having been to lots of her classes and owning both her books, I recommend if you have the opportunity to have lessons with her, do it! You'll never regret it and you'll not stop laughing from go to woah with Cathy. Here's her website address:
Bonus...I've recently found this small page that shows you Cathy in action!
Amazing Creations is another wonderful Australian Company owned by the beautiful Jenny McNulty. I've had the honor of sitting with Jenny at one of my club's stamp camps about 18 months ago and what an inspriration she is!
You will find on her site not only mounted and unmounted stamps all of her own design, but scrabooking papers, accessories, templates etc. Have a look at Jenny's Wacky Templates, AMAZING! Everything Jenny designs can be inter linked, stamps for scrapbooking, papers for stamping and scrapbooking and all her stamps can be used in all kinds of combinations.
Here is Amazing Creations' website address:
Some of the cutest designs in rubber stamps would have to come from House Mouse Designs in the USA. I'm not usually a 'cute' styled stamper, but there's soemthing about these little critters that just gets to ya!! To see what I mean, here's their website,
