Throwback Thursday: Still Blooming with Retired Favorites

Ever find yourself scrolling through your camera roll and landing on a photo that just stops you?

That was me today. I stumbled across this trio of handmade cards and couldn’t help but smile. These were made months ago, but the love and creativity behind them still hits just right.

🌼 The center card features the Irresistible Blooms stamp set—this one holds a special place in my heart because it was part of my very first Color Me Whimsy challenge.

🌸 The right card was created with the Cheerful Daisies set, which has officially been retired but will forever be one of my go-to favorites.

💜 And the left card? Just a whole mood of layered hearts and stripes in soft tones. It radiates friendship vibes and brings me joy all over again.

What I love about this moment is the reminder that you don’t always need the latest and greatest to be inspired. Sometimes what we already have—what we’ve used and loved—can be just the spark we need.

So here’s your nudge: pull out that “retired” set that’s collecting dust, grab your favorite colors, and create just because. You never know when you’ll fall in love with an old favorite all over again.

💬 Have a retired set you just can’t part with? Drop it in the comments—I’d love to know I’m not the only one hoarding cardboard joy.

Until next time...
Be Whimsy. Add Bling.
