People often ask me what is my favourite set of Banana Frog stamps. I find this really difficult to answer! I mean, they are all like my babies -after all I spend hours designing them, sorting out the layout and then eagerly await their arrival. So it is like asking me about my children and I therefore refuse to answer on the grounds that I will most likely change my mind when one or other of them is naughty!
Anyway, although I don't answer the question I am always very interested in what others have to say. What is your favourite set of Banana Frog stamps? It could be one you have already and use all the time, or it could be one that you desire and you are stalking until you can get it all for yourself!
With that in mind, the March challenge isn't really a challenge but more a poll of sorts. Tell us your favourite set and get the chance to win a gorgeous set of Banana Frog stamps! We have 10 to give away! Let us know by leaving a comment, you have until March 26th and we will announce the winners on March 28th!
So get your thinking hat on and tell us your favourite!
I used 4 of my favourite sets of Banana Frog stamps on this layout about my son and the funny faces he pulls when he is trying to look like a cool dude! I stamped Super Stars and What a Star! in Versamark as a background, the title is using Pharmacy Large and the journaling tag is from It's all about...Documenting.
Good luck and thanks for stopping by.
gosh it is definatly a hard question, if i could only have one although i love the sets i have got, i would pick its all about..circles it is on my list of lovelys i'd like for my birthday.
good luck everyone.

Posted by: Sarah | March 08, 2009 at 06:46 PM
Hmmmm...just one? That's a tough one that's for sure! I keep going back to "Take Note" though as far as one that I would really like to have!

My faves are the cupcake ones by Shimelle, I use them ALL the time. Beki x

I LOVE the Superstars set. My friend Mary from the Design Team posted a layout on her blog using those stamps and I fell in love with them. Hopefully soon I'll own that set as well :)
Posted by: Sandi | March 08, 2009 at 07:56 PM

Posted by: anam | March 08, 2009 at 08:01 PM

My favourites are a set I don't even own yet...the build a cupcake stamps. One day my dream will come true :)
Posted by: Kathy (kathyb) | March 08, 2009 at 09:09 PM
I love all the sets I already own, but I adore the new All about Arrows set, they are definately on my wish list.
Posted by: darcy | March 08, 2009 at 09:13 PM
Tough choice but All about Circles won out with Documenting a close second. Fingers crossed. I'm away to look at stockists now.
Posted by: Sonja | March 08, 2009 at 09:50 PM
So many to choose! I love the Sewing Kit and of the All about Scallops set as well. :)
Posted by: Lynn Ghahary | March 08, 2009 at 09:53 PM
ohhh cant i just say i love them all... there are just sooo many that i love... but if i had to choose my all time fav would be the Teen Lower alpha set... love this font and they are a really nice sized stamp...
take care

I'm a flower junkie, so Build A Bloom looks pretty neat!
Posted by: Jennifer Hansen | March 08, 2009 at 10:05 PM
Hmmmm, it's really tough to pick just one set but I think it's got to be the Greenwich Park set designed by Shimelle Laine. I love the super cute sketched designs.
I don't actually own the set yet but it is on my wish list, maybe one day.

Posted by: Emma | March 08, 2009 at 11:26 PM
Oh, sooo hard to choose... but today I am truly digging "Build a Bloom" - would love to play with those for a good long while!
Posted by: Amy Wing | March 09, 2009 at 01:08 AM
Yeah, this is a hard one to choose with, lol. If I had to choose just one set, I would have to say my favorite set is It's all about... Circles. I don't have it yet, it's on my wish list, but I am in love with it!!

Hi Bev 'ChrisG' left this comment on my blog so I thought I'd pass it on to you here: "My fave BF stamps are whirligig and fireworks - both great for backgrounds and I use whirligig for framing also."
Posted by: Julie K | March 09, 2009 at 08:40 AM
like everyone, I can't choose! So I will say "Willing race". Purely 'cos this was the first set I bought, it got me into stamping (big time) and it got me hooked on Banana Frog!
Posted by: sofie foblets | March 09, 2009 at 10:36 AM
My favourite set would have to be It's all about Scallops. They are so de mode at the moment!
Posted by: Teresa | March 09, 2009 at 12:02 PM
I adore pretty much everything Banana Frog and that most definitely includes every single one of the new releases!!! I would be hard pressed to choose between Scallops, Elegance, and Flourishes as my absolute favorite....these three are ALL so lush!!! LOVE them! smiles...
Posted by: Christi Snow | March 09, 2009 at 12:15 PM
At this point in time, my favourite is Greenwich Park.
Posted by: ifa | March 09, 2009 at 01:38 PM
I love the Pharmacy stamps and the It's All About...Stars. SO AWESOME!
Posted by: Jill R | March 09, 2009 at 03:11 PM
Completely torn between Fireworks and Pharmacy... both on my wishlist because they're totally classic x
Posted by: Leanne | March 09, 2009 at 03:59 PM
They are all gorgeous and I haven't bought any yet!! My favourites at the moment are, Its all about flourishes as i have my eye on the for a scrapbook layout. Budmo Jiggler is also on my must have list as it makes me think of having my name in lights!!
All about stars finishes my top 3 :)
Posted by: Tor | March 09, 2009 at 07:08 PM
I think my favorite is "It's All About... Scallops". I can't get enough of them!
Posted by: Heather M. | March 09, 2009 at 10:08 PM
Gosh..hard choice..but 'it's all about scallops'! :D
Posted by: Gina | March 09, 2009 at 11:27 PM
i really like the build a bloom but then i saw a postmark style one with circles and days in the circles and i have to have it
how awesome
the stars are great too - really versatile
Posted by: Leonie | March 10, 2009 at 12:46 AM
All the journaling stamps!!! They are an addiction to me & I need them ALL!!
Posted by: Sara Rossi | March 10, 2009 at 12:55 AM
I love the Whirligig Circles stamps as a circle to me, represents fun and the eternal bond of life and love that has no beginning and no ending. I actually don't even own one stamp at all so it would be awesome to receive some of your products which are so great and funky!
Posted by: Crystal Bowman | March 10, 2009 at 02:43 AM
OoooH! I also very muchly love the Pharmacy Alphas stamps!! You really need to stock your stamps in more places in the land of Oz!!
Posted by: Crystal Bowman | March 10, 2009 at 02:56 AM
Of the ones I have & use I would say "Take Note" are my faves as I'm *slightly* obsessed with journalling stamps and like all the extra words with those, makes them more versatile :)
love the look of the new Documenting, Arrows & Scallops ones though as well!
Posted by: Heather | March 10, 2009 at 04:20 PM
My favorite is the Greenwich Park set.
Posted by: Debbie | March 11, 2009 at 06:10 PM
Definitely Build-a-bloom.. so cute :)!
Posted by: Sue M. | March 11, 2009 at 06:25 PM
My favourite is the Postmark set - shame it's only up to 2009 but you can build later dates yourself. :) Love both sets of Swirls too mind. ;)
Posted by: Kat | March 11, 2009 at 11:43 PM
A difficult choice but I decided to choose the one I use the most with my daughters. That Takes the Cake is the one. We have scrapbooked with it, made ATC's and a number of birthday cards. Even better than real cake as there is no calories!
Posted by: Joy | March 12, 2009 at 10:35 PM
Hi Bev
Originally left my comments on Julies Notes on Paper blog (duh slight Homer Simpson moment from me haha)
I love the whirlygig and fireworks stamps -both great for backgrounds and I use whirligig for framing also. (can ya tell i'm not too adventurous LOL. I did get the paisly set some while back after seeing a scrummy little book you made using them as a background (saw your book at Bolton you Can make about 2 years back when your mum was manning the stall with you)- must root them out and get playing with them again - looking forward to getting some of the new lines soon
Posted by: Chris Granelli | March 14, 2009 at 11:35 AM
I would have to say the Super Stars set are my favourite because my daughter is called Seren (Star in Welsh) and she is most definatly a superstar!
Posted by: Rachel Howells | March 15, 2009 at 05:06 PM
Absolutely love the new Its all about ... circles set. Very cool!
Posted by: Lousette | March 18, 2009 at 11:16 PM
I love the FLOURISHES stamp! I think I can use it for everything! I also like Build-a-bloom set. Thanks for the chance to win!
Posted by: eva p | March 20, 2009 at 11:26 AM
At the moment "It's all about...elegance" but I'm so blooming fickle if you ask me tomorrow I would choose something else entirely LOL.
Posted by: Susan | March 20, 2009 at 05:32 PM
My favourite set is It's All About Scallops. It's super cute!!
Posted by: Cate | March 23, 2009 at 11:26 PM
Love the build-a-cupcake set. It's so cute and fun. Perfect for stamping with my two little girls.
Posted by: Jodi | March 24, 2009 at 12:19 AM
I love that Pharmacy font!!
Posted by: Nancy Hyland | March 24, 2009 at 02:29 PM
I got married on Maui a about 4 years ago - so I think I would say that the Tropical Garden is my favorite set! I love plumerias so much. Thanks for the chance to win!
Posted by: Kristy C. | March 25, 2009 at 02:09 AM
hmm, that's like picking your favourite child! But I think the large Pharmacy alpha or the Scribble flowers would make the top of my list!
Posted by: Connie Nichol | March 25, 2009 at 03:28 AM
I absolutley love the "it' all about stars line. I have 2 boys and 2 nephewm and I use a lot of stars. Keep up the good work!
Posted by: Lydia Jackson | March 25, 2009 at 04:38 AM
It's All About . . . Elegance is such a beautiful set. Then there's Pharmacy and Superstars - and the list goes on and on!
Posted by: Crystal | March 25, 2009 at 06:35 AM
This is my first visit to your site (thanks mary_mac on TwoPeas!), but it won't be the last! I love nearly all of your stamps but the "It's all about...circles" really speaks to me. Hope I can find a store that carries them!
Posted by: carol in seattle :) | March 25, 2009 at 07:17 AM
Unfortunately I don't own any Banana Frog stamps, but I would like to get some! The stamps on my wishlist are Simple Greetings and Teen-lowercase.
Posted by: Sammie | March 26, 2009 at 03:22 AM
My favorite set is 'postage'. Thanks for the giveaway!
