sweet treats collection [print! by design editor]

i first admired this collection when it was featured in amy atlas a few weeks ago and i was smitten!

talented designer catherine of design editor recently opened her etsy store, print! by design editor. this collection includes a JOY banner, cupcake wrappers and toppers, favor wrappers, party circles and icons, labels and full sheet designs to complete all your party needs. lucky me, i hopped on to one of my favorite design blogs emily a. clark last week and found that she was having a blog giveaway and i won! yay!

this friday my little guy's class is having their christmas party and i'm planning to debut it there!

thanks catherine!
