Love this collection to death! Also love hearing that the chips actually stick. . .although I am honestly pessimistic on this comment. Not a big deal, but I almost always reinforce with a dot.
It's fabulicious ! Poohing so cute! Love to get my hands on it!

October Afternoon always has the cutest collection!
What more can you say? It is a great collection!
This is a beautiful collection - and if the rub-ons transfer and the chip really sticks, then I'm sold :)
I love october afternoon for how usable everything is, there's never a paper I don't know what to do with or a sticker that I can't think of a use for, I'm glad to see that that trend continues with this lovely collection.
Can't miss with October Afternoon, and 5 and Dime is another winner! Looks like it's easy to scrap with, that's for sure. Thanks for sharing your projects, and thanks for the chance to win!
Looks like a very fun line!
Looks like a fun line! I always love October Afternoon.
Cute retro style!
I LOVE it too! It's always nice to hear that it is great in person and that everything works the way it is supposed to!
I love it and thank you for the review. I love October Afternoons 5 & Dime collection. I am of the generation of 5 & Dime stores and it makes me yearn for the good ole days. Pop, penny candy, aprons, toys, post cards, you name it and the 5 & Dime had it. I remember the creaking wood floors and the parakeets that got out of their cages. Yep, October Afternoon did a great job on this collection. I love it!
I love everything October Afternoon does and this line is super cute!!! What a fabulous review!
