Ingrid -- Thank you for the info on RPB. Mine will soon begin its 3rd season here. I still have it potted, but am hoping to select a garden spot for it this spring and am glad to have your assessment. So far, I'm very pleased with this rose, altho it's been incredibly slow to build. Perhaps that's just the nature of a truly compact Bourbon. I'm hoping that it does remain small -- in fact, I purchased it primarily because of reports that it's a compact bush at maturity. Another "compact" Bourbon that I finally added after years of waiting is 'Rev H. d'Ombrain'. Apparently, that one actually does remain quite small in milder European gardens. In the sultry South, however, it's displaying astonishing upward vigor. I think it may prove to be a small climber here. Consequently, I've learned to be a bit skeptical about claims of "compactness".

Forgot to add that Walmart has the cutest foam stamps for 27 cents each. Things like footballs, scoccer balls, images of a little girl and boy, flowers, stars, hearts, moons, pets, animals, etc. They look to be just the right size for scrapbooks and are a LOT cheaper than rubber ones. They are located in clear canister type bins in the fabric dept. Penny

I've just started making cards with scrapbook and other materials, but don't stamp (only as an accessory). (Did years ago...our wedding invitations and programs, and birth announcement...but found that for some reason I really didn't enjoy it that much.) But! I LOVE to make cards with scrapbook/other materials. So...if you're willing to open the swap to all card making (not just stamped cards) I would be interested. I posted a few weeks ago looking for other card markers so this is great! Let me know. And thanks for the post. karen
