If cats could talk is such a wonderful and cute set. I love all the little faces you can add, and the ‘accessories’ too.
I also love the Bistro lights die. Thanks for the chance to win some wonderful goodies.
If Cats Could Talk with Coordinating Die is such a cute new set. Since I have a cat this set immediately caught my eye. I can think of so many things I can do with it. I have just discovered Taylored Expressions stamps and dies and absolutely love them!
Having just gotten a kitten last summer, I love the If Cats Could Talk stamp and die set. Thanks for the chance to win the festive Easter paper, stamp and die set.
What a great cover! Looks fabulous.
I’d love to try some Taylored Expressions, looks fun!
Wonderful stuff. I love the die cuts. Can never have enough
Favorite new product is Garden Arbor and Gate dies with the accessories.
I love all dies, but I oh’d and awed when I saw the ‘Seasonal Trees’ die, it is absolutely awesome. I love love love it. Would be great to add this to my craft room and start my Christmas cards using it. LOL. What a great cover this is for your Spring issue, sure makes us feel like spring really is just around the corner. Great job.
I love cats so they have to be my favorite. Thank you for a great magazine filled with so many awesome ideas.

My favorite new set is “If dogs could talk” . Easter sets are adorable too 🙂
my favorite is If Dogs Could Talk! So fun!
I just Love Taylored Expressions Stamps and Dies! I especially like their New Release: Carried Away is so charming, romantic, and it so tugs at my heart strings. If Dogs Could Talk, and If Cats Could Talk, really makes me giggle and I am really left wondering what our Cats and Dogs do really think of their Pet Humans? Spring will be here soon, we have all had such a very snowy and cold Winter, and I am also looking forward to reading the latest SCT Issue. My forced Paper Whites have easily bloomed and they smile at me from their stone water vase. Next week I plan on attending the Boston Flower Show and enjoying the sights and smells of all the Spring Gardens. Hang in their Ladies! Our Snowbanks will melt, since a gradual warm up is coming!!
Can’t wait for the mailman to bring my new issue!!!! I love Taylored Expressions – If Cats Could Talk. So fun!

I don’t really have a favorite but that “Somebunny Loves You” stamp set sounds awesome. I’m one for little critter stamps (any kind) as long as they are cute. Also love the front cover of your new magazine. It brings us all a breath of fresh air. I know we are so badly in need of Spring right now and the cover warms my heart and it’s nice to think that Spring is just around the corner. Love all the bright colours.
I just love the Somebunny Loves You stamps and dies set. It doesn’t get cutter than those adorable costs with bunny ears. Love the cover of the upcoming edition, too.

Hard to choose. I love the versatility of the new frame in frame die. It would get a lot of use. Some of my old faves are O Christmas Tree because of its elegance and the “sack it” series just because they are so cute. Thanks for this opportunity. I just found the Tailored Expressions website earlier this week because of SCT.
Wow, gorgeous cover!!!

I love the If Cats Could Talk stamp set as well. I am looking forward to the new issue as well. I often wonder where everyone else is from so am going to start leaving my city in my comment and maybe others will as well. I am from Lakefield, Ontario Canada. It is facinating to see where everyone is from on blogs etc. Thanks for a wonderful magazine and the emailed copy is nice but it doesn’t replace the thrill I get when I receive mine in the mail.
I love the If Dogs Could talk and if Cats Could Talk. What a fun release!
