I'm so excited about these three collections - there are some really beautiful quotes on all three sets. It's going to be tough to pick a favourite from these, I think. I hope you'll have time to hop over to PaperArtsy to see some of the samples I've created to get the inspiration flowing, and I'd love to know which set would be at the top of your list!
Thanks so much for stopping by and for hopping onwards. All of this wouldn't be half as much fun without your company along the way. You'll see why I haven't been a very good visitor lately when you see what I've been up to over at PaperArtsy, but I'll be back to visit regularly again now it's all done! Stay safe, stay well, and see you soon.

I have been over for a look. Congratulations on a wonderful new release Alison. Your samples are beautiful too. Anne x
love the new sets, and the FB live was so well done, looking forward to more of those!
Now I understand your reference to my Night and Day journal page I created recently. These are absolutely incredible. It would definitely be hard for me to pick a favorite, although I'm truly a fan of those night and day words, quotes, and art work.
You always have quotes that make me think and ponder the author's thoughts!
I thank you for that. Since the proportion of men who get credit in history and on and on in this world, I would like to propose that you continue to seek out good quotes from women in our world! (I have nothing against men, btw!) l will be anxious to use your inspiration for Edith Wharton's quote and during our confinement especially the one by George Elliot about continuing to long and wish! Again, thank you, Alison!
These are fabulous Alison. I love quotes and will have to add them to my collection and soon I see them online. I like the idea of night and day. And nice samples too my friend. Hugs-Erika
Congratulations on the new release at Paper Artsy. Loved the match box scene- got my imagination in a spin for Christmas. Can't wait to see the new stamps in the stores :)
Wonderful words, you have made a great selection and some fantastic examples. Have a great week, Valerie
I'm off to take a better look. Your quote stamps are always very tempting and I'm sure these will be on my wish list.
Stay safe.

Congratulations!
Just left a comment there, big congratulations!!! Love love your new stamps (AND your previous ones too of course, especially the ones I have at home, very precious).
Thanks so much again for all, dear Alison. I wish you the success you deserve with this new release

Thank you for your lovely, thoughtful comment, Mary (and to all the rest of you too - but unlike others, I can't find a blog for Mary so that I can pay a return visit!).
I quite agree about the male/female words thing. I always have at least one quote by a woman on each set, but because they are all copyright-free words, it means they have to be from at least 70 years after the writer's death. So we're still talking about times when men's voices were recorded far more than women's. But believe me, I'm fully behind making sure we hear from as many women as possible!

Love the new word stamp sets! Your FB presentation was fab. Hugs to you.
Well done on your FB Live yesterday! Lovely to hear you talk about the quotes and the samples "in person". Glad you liked my funny birds card, I think it maybe one of my best this year. x
It was a joy to sit with you last night Alison and share in your enthusiasm for your wonderful new stamps. you were able]e to bring them alive and help us to imagine how we could enjoy using them too.
i have already commented on the PA blog and can't wait to receive 2 more additions to my grown
ing collection.
you whetted my appetite and I am already matching quotes to my favourite people. Congratulations my virtual friend! xx
Popped over for a look, gorgeous and the new stamps are lovely too! Hugs, Angela xXx

Dear Alison, Congratulations on your new stamp sets!!! My favourite is the Life and Living. xx
Congrats, love your sample makes and the new stamp sets. XOX
Thank you for your response, Alison. There is no blog for me, although I have considered it, but others are far better at keeping up with their readers than I am afraid I would be! Sadly, women, have been invisible for much of our lives, but I keep reminding everyone (me included!) to seek out and push women to not be invisible. 70 years isn't too long ago (I'm 72!) but I get what you mean. NPR (National Public Radio in the USA) had a presentation a while back encouraging journalists to seek out other speakers - preferably women and to get a more representative percentage of female "specialists" to quote and use in their interviews. Most of those in the presentation had many reasons why it was difficult...but what my "take-away" was that each of us needs to work a little harder to encourage and promote our part of the population. After all, we are the majority (or at least we were before covid-19). I've always loved to write quotes for inspiration and now I have a means to share them in my cardmaking crafts. Yours are frequently ones I turn to, as you seem to have a knack for finding themes that are perfect the topics that keep recurring in my art!
Thanks, again, for your response! I really appreciate it!

Congratulations on the new releases, I've just had a look at what you've been doing and the word sets are wonderful and your work to showcase the words is beautiful, as always! I'm sure I've said before that I struggle putting words in my work for some reason, and I can't fathom out why as I so admire the right quote in the right place when I see other people's work. You have collected some beautiful words together with your sets and I have to say that the garden quotes are the ones I homed in on, but everything is about the garden with me most of the time!!

Many congratulations Alison! I so enjoyed watching your video and your new stamp sets are amazing 😁. I'm in love with the Night & Day set and have added it to my wish list! Sorry I'm so late visiting, I can't believe it's Friday already, where did this week go ...lol 😉. Wishing you a Happy Friday and Weekend! Take care! Hugs, Jo x
I have already chosen my favourite set ...but you will have to wait and see which it is!! (You can probably guess!!) They're all brilliant and I love the samples you made! Hugs, Chrisx
Congratulations dear Alison on your beautiful words and quotes and your new collections x. The samples are hugely inspirational and glorious too x.
Interesting what you wrote here on the 16th June Alison about woman quotes and the copyright etc has to 70 years on....I so love learning something new x.
Another big congrats to you!!! I am happy to see you on FB too. Wishing you tons of success on these inspiring quotes.
Congratulations!
