While not commenting on the propriety of giving credit, I can tell you what one of my local stores does: They keep "sample books" available by subject matter, so if you are looking for card ideas you can come into the store and browse the books, which are categorized such as "Masculine," "Wedding," "Valentine's Day," etc. etc. In fact, the store often sponsors competitions where they give prizes, but they keep ALL the cards entered for the sample books. It's a good idea for a store if your mom has the space.

I was extremely pleased with what I received - nice selection and very nice quality rubber - - deeply etched, excellent quality. I highly recommend their grab bags (I selected the "first quality $20 bag) - the value I received in ums far exceeded what I paid. A big thumbs up. Here is a copy of Melanie's message if you are interested in ordering. I suggest checking first on what is still on sale. Cheers!

Here's what we have. 1.Rubber detachable brayers. Soft rubber, 4 inch. $11 2. New paper grabbag. An assortment of papers, 50 sheets for $10. All sheets are 8 1/2 by 11 pages, and about 70% of the pacet is cardstock, others are nice colors of paper stock. Not more than 3 sheets of the same color. Nice sampler pack. 3. Seconds grabbags. Have 4 of these avialable. 2 lbs for $20. First come, first serve. All stamps depict a full image, these aren't just rubber croppings, but many have a small indention or an imperfect spot- and I can't sell em as first quality stamps. 4. 1 lb of first quality rubber for $20. Specify mostly cute or mostly not cute. 5. Still have Toad Hall mounted box sets for $30 for $100 worth of stamps. This is between 15 and 25 stamps, depending on size. Some of these stamps have indexing flaws on the top of the wood (the image is flaking off or is sun-exposed) and the rubber has turned pink from the lighting here, but they still stamp fine. Just a few of these boxes left, but the people that have already gotten them have raved about them. 6. Clear envelopes- 100 crystal clear envys- hold 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 sized cards, and are resealable, and mailable. $15. 7. Collage packs. Misc stuff. Small pieces of papers, plastics, metals, whatever I have in my personal collage box. I stuff a 8 1/2 by 11 sized envelope full of this stuff, and send it to you. $5. Max shipping $7, minimum $3. Shipping on unmounted specials is $4, mounted $6, everything else $3, keep in mind the $7 cap for shipping within the US, doubled to other countries (except Canada). Free 160 page catalog with every order. We take visa, mastercard, dicover, and AMEX. Also take the visa check cards that withdrawl directly from your checking account. Sure, a check is good, just email me so I can confirm your total first.
