Retiring Series: Petite Pairs and Sweet Taffy

The new catalog is coming... But before we get there, I'm highlighting some of my favorite retiring stamp sets and retiring DSP. How can Petite Petals be retiring? This is such a great collection of simple sentiments. I will continue to use it even after being retiring! I did a simple collection of various sheets from the Sweet Taffy collection. I love the bright colors in this collection! So sad to see it go, but I've still got a few small pieces left.

• Stamps: Petite Pairs

Children's Cards

I attended a fun little class taught by my crafting partner Colleen that focused on children's cards.  Between my friends and the parent's group, I will definitely have a use for these in the coming months.

Such an easy but striking design.  I can't wait to replicate this cute caterpillar.  

Legos!  I love the simple color blocks (complete with fake embossed circles) and big sentiment.  Perfect for any little kid birthday!

This was a birthday card, but I changed up the sentiment. A friend of mine is due any day with her baby girl.  I thought this would be the perfect card to send.

And finally, a cute birthday card using the stamp set that I can't believe I don't own myself: Zoo Babies.  My rhino is a bit off, but it's still a cute card.  I may just have to add this set to my next SU order.
