I thought this was a powerful saying for what many of us may be facing, "Take the first step in Faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase just take the first step." - Martin Luther King Sometimes it can be very hard to take that first step, esp for things like Brain Surgery. I will regularly get calls from my doctor who asks me to speak with other patients who are facing the decision of surgery or who maybe just want someone to talk to. It's not something I would ever push someone else into, but I can tell them how fortunate my experience has been and how amazing that doctor is.
Question of the day: What is your favorite stamp company? what is your favorite digi stamp company?
Me- I just LOVE Unity stamps, Stampin Bella (the Oddballs), Cats Pajamas, Taylored Expressions

Such a fitting image, too! Favorite Companies are : Unity, Altenew, Catherine Pooler, Pinkfresh Stuido, Lawn Fawn, Dare2BArtzy, Taylored Expressions - so many! Unity is my #1 favorite though!

Gorgeous card! I love Gina K, Unity, Altenew, Stampin' Up, My Favorite Things and so many more! I haven't used a lot of Digi stamps but have used Stamplorations and Graciellie
My favorite stamp company is Paper Smooches for clear stamps and dies. For digi stamps, I love Power Poppy, Bugaboo, Oddball, BabyCakes, and Whimsy.
My favorite stamp companies are personal stamp exchange (pix) and me and Carrie Lou, both of which are no longer in business. Such a shame as the made timeless stamps.
Your card today is great, as usual.
Wow, been busy and can't believe I've gone so long without checking the blog! But between taking care of my mom and starting German classes there's been little time. Now to relax and enjoy!! My ultimate favorites are A Day for Daisies, Polkadoodles, Sheepski, Sandra Caldwell, the East Wind, Bloobel, Oddball Art, and too many to name. Of course, designing for Scribbles and Ike's Art, I adore their images to pieces!!
I absolutely love this card. The sentiment is awesome and always love inspirational sentiments. I have a hard time saying which company I love the most but I have definitely been connected with Unity because I feel that it is so much more to me than just about stamps!
Love the Sandra Caldwell's digi stamps and for stamps I like Tailored Expressions and some of Ike's Art.
Love the card you did today, especially the lace you used.

Oh, I love that sentiment! How wonderful too that you can help other patients make an informed choice when it comes to treatment options. I know that being able to speak to someone who's gone through the procedure is really helpful to them.
Let's see, my favorite stamp companies are a long long list! I love Lawn Fawn, Mama Elephant (although I still don't have any of their stamps), Sugar Pea designs, House Mouse, Graphic 45, Unity, and Tim Holtz.
I don't use digi stamps, since I don't have a printer.
Beautiful card with a beautiful thought.
Stamp company, I can't think of just one, Lawn Fawn, Kindred Stamps, Magnolia, Mama Elephant...
Digital, wow, it's been a while, Whimsy, Bugaboo, Oddball Art, A Day For Daisies...
Really pretty card. And such an inspiring story. Favorite stamp company - Unity, Tilda, and house mouse.
Love this card....day for daisies is one brill company. I like penny black stamps as well as impression obsession.
Love this card....day for daisies is one brill company. I like penny black stamps as well as impression obsession.
This is so pretty and that sentiment is so true. I have so many favorite stamp companies but a few that I can think of are Mama Elephant, Neat and Tangled, Lawn Fawn, My Favorite Things. Oh, and I love Penny Black stamps and House Mouse Designs.
Beautiful card! Love that pretty lace trim on it!
Favorite stamp companies.... Penny Black, Hero Arts, Lawn Fawn, Mama Elephant, Pinkfresh Stampin Bella's Oddballs, Unity.
Favorite digis.... I'm fairly new/inexperienced with digis but I like Vera Lane Studio.
No favorite company. I usually pay more attention to subject than manufacturer.
Great card today!
Beautiful Holley and I love that sentiment. My favourite digi companies would have to be Sandra Caldwell and SheepSki Designs.
Lovely card. My favorite stamp company is Zinski Arts. My favorite digi Co is The Octopode Factory & Vera Lane Studio.
A lovely card and sentiment. I don't have a favourite company etc
Gorgeous card, Holley. I'm loving Claritystamp right now and MHKDesigns for digis xoxo
What a beautiful card and sentiment! That is so nice that you visit with people facing the same surgery as yours. It’s great that your doctor his patients like that. I use mostly StampinUp stamps, but like Hero Arts, Tim Holtz, and any company whose images appeal to me.
That is a great verse and I love the image as well. I really do not have a favorite company any more, used to be Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers but they are out of the biz.
Great card and sentiment! Heartfelt Creations is my favorite company.
That would be difficult to take that first step. I'm having trouble taking that first step to get my dogs teeth pulled so really can't imagine what it took to go through with the surgery, although I know seizures are scary in themself.
My favorite stamp company is My Besties Sherri Baldy. :) I also enjoy the images from Bugaboo too.
Wow that is a hard hard question. But here goes fav stamp company lawn fawn, art impressions, unity
Digis ..... Sherri Baldy, leann Wariner, Sandra Caldwell, 7 kids digis knitty kitty, Vera lane, yam puff, list goes on and on
Beautiful card! I love that the lace coordinates so well with her wings.
My favorite stamp company would be tough but I do love Taylored Expressions and Whimsy Stamps (the sassy ones!) My favorite digi stamps are A Day for Daisies..and I'm a huge fan of Hambo Stamps.
Aww, this is os dreamy! Love it!
I didn't play with digital images. I have lot of stamps and it is hard to say which is my most favorite. Love to play with Uniko, Mudra stamps, Stamplorations stamps, Unity, Hero Arts and soooo many!
My favorite stamp company? That's a tough one! There are sooooo many out there! LOL!! I know one of my ultimate favorites would probably have to be Unity! They have so many amazing stamps! I really love your card too! I am sooo loving her wings!
Love that sentiment. It's lovely of you to be willing to take the time and help other people make the difficult decision about surgery. Sometimes just talking with someone who has been there help. I LOVE Unity stamps, Stampin Bella (the Oddballs), Cats Pajamas, Taylored Expressions Grumplings, Lost Coast Designs, Stampendous, Carabelle Studios. I don't use digi's. Hugz
Very pretty card and amazing words...I like altenew stamp,Gina designs,mudra stamps,itsy bitsy stamps...
I'd have to say CTMH is still my fave company...I have not tried digi stamps yet!
I love your card! So perfect! And I think its wonderful how you speak to people facing surgery too. I actually don't have a favorite....
My favorite stamp company changes depending on my theme! Florals must be Altenew, miscellaneous images is usually Stampendous, AI Watercolor stamps are gorgeous for making scenes and I am starting to use a lot of Spellbinders stamps too. TFS!
Forgot to add that I haven’t used many did-stamps so I don’t have a favorite company yet! I DO know that I absolutely must have this sentiment stamp because it fits where I am in life right now! Your card is breathtaking! TFS!
Lovely card and sentiment. I use a lot of digi-stamps when I want to do colouring - Dragons Lair Designs is a company I have lots of. The stamps I've bought lately have been silhouette ones from Inkilicious, but I do like the ones that build up an image layer on layer, such as the watercolour look flowers. Can't remember the brand of them. Not keep on sentiment stamps because I don't do English cards. Also not keen on the big eyed girls unless they are well coloured by somebody else.

I like a lot of stamp companies and some of my favorites are Tim Holtz, My Favorite Things, Mama Elephant, Hero Arts, Stampendous and House Mouse Designs, and Stamin Up. I also enjoy Unity Stamps and Graphic 45. I don't use digi stamps or religious images. Oh, and don't use stamps of children because most of my cards are for seniors.
I like my favorite things stamps. I love House Mouse and Gina K. i occasionally use digi stamps, but I actually forget about most of them. I probably use Paulette Slater's digit products the most. Love the card
I think your card is lovely and meaningful. I love several stamp companies. Altanew, Hero Arts, My Favorite Things, Lawn Fawn, Mama Elephant etc. the list goes on and on. I don’t use digital stamps so no favorites.
i love everystamp digi or otherwise with frogs on them digis from sherry baldi stamps marianne design and nellie snellen great card
The people you speak to on behalf of your Doctor are so fortunate to have you recount your positive experience. I love Unity stamps, Lawn Fawn, Avery Elle etc. Digi stamps I currently like Time 4 Tea Designs as I don't really use them very much as I have very few. Shabneez x

OH I love tiddly inks and Newtons noook designs so much!
My favourite digi compnay is Krista Smith Art ( formerly Saturated Canary).
My Favourite physical stamp company is Jaded Blossom - just love the sayings she comes up with.
This is a super sentiment for sure! Love how the lace is perfect for the image, too. Favorite digis are Aurora Wings, Sandra Caldwell, Oddball, and I"m really missing Bloobel. Regular stamps, Stampotique (even though they are wood mounted) and the Oddballs from Stamping Bella. Love quirky in general. (Big surprise! LOL) xxD
I love this card!! Its Beautiful!! I agree there is alot of scary stuff in this world and we just have to commit to that first step. I just moved back home. All the way across the country. It was huge to just give it all up but Time has become so much more important these days. Time to spend with loved ones. As much as a brand new journey it is. I took the first step, even if I didnt have much of a plan. I love Unity, SumMoreFun/Raisin Boat, Stampendous, Tim Holtz,Andy Skinner and many more. I dont have a favorite digi compamy as I still dont use digis, but I love some of the ones you shared.
Lovely card and aah that lace, beautiful! I can't pick a single stamp company. I usually buy based on the theme I want or the planned recipient of the card.
Holley this turned out amazing Love the sentiment you choose to add to it and I love digi stamps and have many Faves can't pick one but I do love Limited Runs lol
hugs Nikki
Love love this sentiment. Great card. Favorite stamp .. Unity and Whimsy
