Sponsor Spotlight - DRS Designs

"DRS Designs is a small family owned company. They have been in the rubber stamp business since 1955 and have been thru many changes since that time. No change was more significant than the addition of art stamps in 1992. In the ensuing 16 years, They have grown their collection to more than 1000 original stamp designs with more being added each month. They offer online shopping from their website, a monthly club - Rubber Mania Monthly, as well as a retail store in Bethel, CT. If you are in the area, stop by their cozy Victorian shop and say hello!

They offer high quality, wood mounted rubber stamps as well as unmounted rubber depending on your preference. They have a 10 person design team and a blog that is updated daily by each member of the team. Their online site features a gallery for each designer as well as a customer gallery. They hope you will participate in their challenges and email them your cards so they can include them in their growing galleries. They offer a wide assortment of images, sentiments (serious and humorous) as well as easy background images and technique stamps such as their stained glass and their plaid stamps."
