Same faves, different order!
I also LOVE LOVE LOVE
Odd Bird Planet , but I haven't bought any of their stamps yet. I'm afraid it will be a slippery slope!

My Top Five are:
1) My Favorite Things - because Kim is the most generous person I have ever met and her stamps just rock
2) There She Goes - because Jessica's vision is in a class of it's own.
3) Our Craft Lounge - Just rockin images.
4) Whipper Snapper - don't own near enough of these, but I adore the images
5) Artful Inkables - small company with a solid vision
Not in this order for any particular reason, but if I am going to spend money, this is where my dollars are going.
Oh, there are others... I could probably go on forever, but these are the standouts to me.

My top five would be:
1. Papertrey Ink
2. High Hopes
3. I will always have a soft spot for Riley and Sophie at Hanna Stamps
4. Verve Stamps - I have yet to take the plunge, but they have quite a few sets I've been eyeballing for awhile
5. I've also been trying to resist more bellas and those Kettos are trying to push me over the edge! lol
Whipper Snapper, Cat's Pajamas, and Pink Cat Studio have some really cute stamps, too. There are so many stamps out there to love. Just not enough time or money to stamp with them all. :grin:

My top 5:
1) Papertrey Ink
2) My Favorite Things
3) Gina K (I need to buy some more
)
4) Stamping Bella
5) I'm not sure who to put in this spot. Verve, Clear Art Stamps, Rubbernecker, Flourishes? Another company I haven't bought from yet?

NOT in order:
Flourishes
There She Goes
The Greeting Farm
Sweet N' Sassy Stamps
Treehouse Stamps
Now, I design for these five. That said, I like them all because NONE of them have the same "style." kwim?
That ALL SAID....I have purchased ALL the NON-alphabet sets offered by SU! since 2001!!!!!!!!! That's right...and I have kept about 98% of them!!!!

Whoa! SO many stamps!! It's fun to see the combinations that people like.
My top 5 list:
1. Cornish Heritage Farms - such a wide variety!
2. PaperTrey Ink - love 'em & you all know why ;) ;)
3. A Muse - although I have not mastered the "A Muse style"
4. Crafty Secrets Clear Art Stamps - pure vintage treasures
5. Whipper Snapper, Impression Obsession, Eat Cake Graphics, Stamp Zia, Verve Stamps . . . okay, that's more than one. Just too hard to choose!
These are pretty much my "go to" stamp companies ~ but there is a smattering of others in my collection, too! A girl needs variety, right?!

Faith, i'm completely flabbergasted... ALL of them? ALL OF THEM? that must be SO fun.
Ok my list (no particular order)
Gina K
Eat Cake Graphics
Cornish Heritage Farms
SU
Hmmm. I could comfortably stick with just those. I HAVE others but that's what I love. Do any of you remember Maui Cows? They are out of business a few years. I LOVED them. If they were current they would get this spot.
Oh wait CC Designs. I do'nt have many but they are KILLING me with these new stamps they keep having.
