I just went to buy the multicoloured sequins but they’re not in stock. Boo hoo! Anyway, can’t wait to finally do a Simon Says Stamp blog hop!
I am in love with this release and all the great products that are perfect for the time we in which we live. Really love the world of heart stamp but wish it were a bit smaller. It’s so large that it would be hard to use but still be able to appreciate the heart shape. Just finished Day 1 of the hop and all of the designers outdid themselves. Now I’m off to enjoy Day 2. Thanks for another fantastic release!
Awesome release!
Beautiful cards Shari, thanks for your inspiration.

What a great release. Love these cards.
Great release and so much inspiration! I’ve already put in one order and started a wish list for another one.
Oh there are just so many products in this release that I’d dearly love to have! The heart with the earth in it ranks right at the top, along with the Sympathy Sentiments & the stencils, &, & &… Love the second card Shari created!
I am loving all the cling stamps and the gorgeous hibiscus die!
