Graduation
Here's what I've been up to recently - graduation announcements! My youngest graduates this year and I've put off getting these together until almost the last minute. So here's what we're doing. 
This is a 5 1/2 x 7 3/4 announcement. I'll show you how it opens - 
The belly band slides off and the Real Red/photo lifts up - 
The 2012 and inside are done in My Digital Studio. (I still need to add the open house info.) The tassel is rolled Real Red card stock that is cut at the ends.
Supplies
card stock - Pacific Point, Real Red, Whisper White
Etc - Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, 1 3/4 Circle punch, My Digital Studio - Frames With a Flourish and Noteworthy Alphabet, Corner punch (retired), oval punch
I hope to finish them soon! All the pieces are finished - still assembling 
Enjoy!
Here are all the retiring lists! Happy shopping! Hugs, Fran
Circle Circus
This is a card that I cased from a swap way back when - and then forgot to show you! I kept the colors and basic layout and just changed some of the details. Circle Circus is staying and Happiest Birthday Wishes is a hostess set- but if you want the lace border punch - you had better hop on over to the retiring accessories list and grab it before it's gone
Supplies
Stamp Sets - Circle Circus, Happiest Birthday Wishes
card stock - Wisteria Wonder, Concord Crush, Whisper White, Lucky Limeade
Ink - Wisteria Wonder, Concord Crush, Lucky Limeade
Etc - Lace Border punch, Scallop Circle punch, 1 3/8 Circle punch, Square Lattic embossing folder, pearl

Mail Call Share
I want to share some cards that were made by two of my friends on my team. The first one was made by Anne Van Willigen.
She used Furry Folks and Pocketful of Posies DSP! (retiring!) The next card was made by Martha Hahn.
She used Happiest Birthday Wishes and Twitterpatted DSP. (Also retiring!) Aren't these great cards?
Here it is - the Retiring Stamp Sets! Accessories and Decor Elements will be posted April 25th. I'll be back later today with the Blog Candy winners. Hugs, Fran

Crazy...That It's Retiring
I have a folder on my computer called "New Folder" (ha!) that holds all the cards that I haven't shown you yet. It is quickly becoming "Old Folder" and I'm going to try to get them up here before they're all retired. Crazy for Cupcakes is one of my favorites. This card was featured in my Birthday Quick Card class using the Sweet Shop DSP - hurry, hurry - it's going too!
Supplies
Stamp set - Crazy for Cupcakes
card stock - Calypso Coral, Whisper White, Sweet Shop DSP
Ink - Jet Black Stazon
Stampin Write Markers - Pool Party, Calypso Coral
Etc - Pool Party ruffled ribbon

card stock - watercolor paper
Ink - Bashful Blue, Not Quite Navy, More Mustard

Big Shot Metal
At our team meeting this weekend we made garden stakes with metal decorations made with the Big Shot. Everyone made what they wanted - but we agreed that Ann's was the most creative.
Here's one I did for the graduates this year -
And here's what I found while cleaning my kitchen! I'm not kidding! It's April and I just noticed that this is still hanging there!
