There is so much freedom in carving your own stamps and making your own stencils. I doodle a lot, and when I hit on something I really like, I make it. If you can't find what you want ready-made, consider making it yourself.
I'm Blog crusin" this morning and found your page via Sandra Everton's...I love your style and enjoyed your blog! I tried my hand at making a stencil with one of Michelle Wards Street Team (http://michelleward.typepad.com/how_cool_is_that/) Crusade #19 I think it was...I posted my result in an April posting.
Carved stamps are also so special. A lot of work goes into them. I have tried lino cutting and found it quite painful (cut fingers) and exhausting. I love your stamps and might try getting some rubber carving material next time.
