Loving the release so many great products to pick from, I have a list.
Loving the heart chain and the concentric hearts of red rubber and the… and the… there are too many to name. I already ordered and now am rethinking: I should have ordered the above items (at least) plus the printmaking set and others. I’m sure I will end up ordering more in time. Great job, SSS!!!

Love the items that Cathy Zielske used, including how she used leftovers from the chain of hearts die, and the heart stencil, to make a shaker card, from the “leftovers”!
