It's not that I have seen it anywhere and want exactly this one stamp but I have an image in my head (yes, just this one image! There isn't room for more). It should be a rather modern train, at full length, not only the engine, and a rather small stamp, as if seen from a distance. Anybody know?

The red color looked like I had just used red ink. The glitter color was somewhat raised, but not real puffy-ish. Is there a GOOD embossing powder? 3) What catalogs do you recommend?

This sounds like a great idea. I wonder if scanning a photo into the computer and making it smaller would work? Then, could put them in frames made on the computer and do up some postoids with photos on them??? If that doesn't work and I'll try it tonight, I'll bet there's a way to do it with Kinko's.
