I check the monthly stamp companies specials first, to see what I can get for an extra deal, Su has the sell-a-bration, CTMH, house mouse design for the month, and do a "google" search to see what has a great stamp set for the
month, you really lilke, and then check their inventory. Have fun.
You will probably find more then you can choose from.

It depends on your taste. I stay away from CHF because they're too complicated for me and I'm not that good in coloring or blending. I love SU of course and they have a promo next month but there are so many other options too nowadays that are really hard to pass up. I just got some MFT and I love them. So fun. I also want to get some Bellas because they're just too cute. The stuff at Papertrey are great too and I do like what the Kitchen Sink has to offer.
$50 right now.... I'd buy tools or accessories. I love stamps but I love all the tools that I've gotten these past few weeks. $50 gets you either a Scor-pal, ATG glue gun, Cuttlebug (with coupon), Nestabilities, and more. I'm just amazed at how much more better looking my cards are after it goes through the CB
I agree about tools. I love my Cropadile, Revolution, and Quickutz nesting dies (same idea as nestabilities). If you are a card person and like to color, you could get some Copics. You could also get a Making Memories Embellishment center with a coupon at Mike's.
Or, buy yourself something you wouldn't otherwise. A crafting treat, some embellishment or alterable items you would not get otherwise, etc.
Okay...i've almost spent all my $$ and this is what I got!
New "Tweet" by Pink Cat Studio
New "It's A Western Thing" by The Cat's Pajama's
and some old characters from Rubber Necker!
Thanks everyone for your help, even though you made it HARDER with all the great choices!!!
I may even splurge on the "You Know your Old" set from Gina K!
Those are excellent choices! I cant wait to see all the Sheriff Poochies in the gallery! Now i wonder how long you'll be able to do w/o the Gina K set?? I am thinking it should be in your very near future!

Aw, thanks Kim!
I think you should add some MFT too! I love every one of Kim's sets! They are to-die-for cute!
All the other choices rock too- Bellas, Papertrey, SU, Rubbernecker, CHF, Cat's PJ's, Eat Cake Graphics, Sparkle N Sprinkle, Impression Obsession, Stampendous, Penny Black, Amuse, Whipper Snapper, Denami, and um, don't forget Lizzie Anne, Flourishes, TAC, CTMH... I know I'm forgetting some... :rolleyes:
Hey, tell the truth, have you ever met a stamp you didn't like? I haven't. LOL!
Hugs,

Are you sure you did not mean $500.00? or $5000.00 to spend? Wow...I want want want so much that I cannot even think. I want SU, TAC and I just spent only $50.00 on my first Bellas this morning...but that doesnt count...Oh my...so many stamp companys and only $50.00? Whoa is me...where to start.....
Oooh, Cat's Pajamas, good choice! I just discovered them through this thread and I LOVE their stuff! SCS is a dangerous place - I used to think I could go broke from just the SU catalog, but now I have so many other options!
The Saltbox Studio is a new company that just started sneak peeks this week! I definitely recommend clicking on their banner ad! They've got some fabulous new clear sets that will launch this Friday!
It would be hard to narrow it down to just $50 but I love Paperbag Studios, Character Constructions, Oxford Impressions, Lost Coast, Just Johanna...and currently I'm having fun with collage sheets from Paper Whimsy and Lisa's Altered Art...Ok I have some of all of those stamps, collage sheets and lots of embellishments (did I mention my collection of brads?)..so I would spend the $50 on itunes and pick out some great music to stamp to....I have to have music when I stamp and loud rocking music gets me going....
SU!'s spend $50 get free set has always been a great treat for me. The Sale-a-bration sale is coming around in Feb... Have fun deciding and ENJOY what ever you decide to purchase!!
I would buy from Ellen Hutson - the scalloped lace backgrounder is beautiful. I bought some copic makers from her and got them right away packed very well! Good shipping price and a lot of cute stamps. The other stamps I am wanting right now are Fancy Pants From the Garden. I love these because they are big enough for scrapbooking but still have smaller stamps for cards. They are expensive but worth it for the amount of stamps you get. I have Bella Brush.
I noticed someone recommended Frugalities. I bought something on sale from them and had trouble with my order.
