Simon Says Stamp's latest release: My Favorite Things

   Hi Everyone!  

I am so excited to share some inspiration for Simon says stamp's latest release called My Favorite Things And this really is a release full of Favorite Things!!!. 

You can find more inspiration for the wonderful new products from this release HERE: 

  












I decided to recycle a Granola tin and make it into an Easter treat tin instead. 
I love how , by a bit of masking you can create such sweet scenes with the Easter set (Bunny Blessings)  - I just had to make a little Easter painting and framed it.
I created the tag using the circle set I got - so awesome when you can find just the right size of circle for each sentiment!!! 










On the Simon Says Stamp blog You'll find awesome Release galleries for their products where you can upload your projects to share with others or just visit to be inspired by others.  There are galleries for each month's release which is great if you need some new ideas for how to use the things you've bought.
