I loved revisiting some of these stamp sets. I must have missed a couple or possibly before I started stalking Altenew’s blog and releases, because now Ditsy Print is on my wish list! Beautiful stamps sets all of them. (I am extremely selfish and would keep them all for myself, instead of giving them as gifts).
Of these, I have two favourites, Ditsy Prints and The Book Club. I always enjoy using them.
Loved your book themed card blog today. Am an avid reader and have many friends who also fit into the same category. So, I’m not surprised this blog speaks volumes!
I love the wonderland stamp set! Can hardly wait to see what folks do with it!
I love them all but my faves were Recollections and Beautiful Quotes. Thanks Altenew for always inspiring us.
Well…I don’T know if you missed any, but, what you listed is awesome. I love the stamp sets you listed and the contrast to books. That is so wonderful.. I have several of these stamp sets and I love each! thanks for giving me some new ways to thinkk about using them!
Great group for the topic. I haven’t seen some of these sets, so it was a great opportunity to see how they can combine with reading. I like the recollections set.
Hi from Whittier, CA! Happy Anniversary Altenew keep up the great work! I love your stamp designs.
