Hi - just to let you know that I bought a stamping up cd rom on ebay. It
contains all the rubber stamp designs and you just print out and use.
Great!!!!! It also contains other handy bits. Take a look on
www.ebay.co.uk you may need to register, but it's all free! I'm pretty
sure you can just browse! Good luck!

Okay, I'll bite. First of all, it shows you as not having bought anything
on ebay since 1998.

People often use different usernames and e-mail addresses for eBay than
they do for their other correspondence.

Secondly, Stampin' Up is VERY particular about their
copyrights and this is totally illegal.

While my first reaction was similar to yours, if you google for "stampin
up CD," you'll find a surprising number of hits; it appears that
Stampin' Up has, in fact, issued a CD containing a large number of
ready-to-stamp card and scrapbook designs, card verses and project
templates. See, for instance,

If that's what Emma bought, then there's nothing illegal about it.

If she actually found "all the rubber stamp designs" on a CD, then
you're right, it's likely an illegal bootleg; I'm willing to give her
the benefit of the doubt and assume she was just being over-enthusiastic
about her purchase.
