I love the 2-step stamping sets. It is so easy to create beautiful images. Watermelon Wonder is my focal point color. The Cucumber Crush is great too. I don't know if you can see it very well, but I used the silver rimmed pearls that are new this year.

Let me know if you like my project. Give me some advise on how I could make it better.

Hi Everyone,

I am so excited to visit friends and family tomorrow at Julianne's graduation brunch. It will be nice to celebrate at the awesome Whiskey Creek Restaurant in Keyport. I wanted to share my table center pieces I made and a wonderful cookie by Sugar Studios in Silverdale, WA.

 

I decided to go with cookies instead of cake or cupcakes for dessert. The other cookies are the graduation cap. Julianne's cookie is special. As it should be right? I had fun using Stampin' Up!'s Class of 2015 stamp. The glitter stars and rhinestones add that needed bling.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Everyone,

Wow what a busy few days. It's so exciting to have a graduate from high school. Julianne had her commencement ceremony yesterday. It was at the Kitsap Fairgrounds.



Here we are right after the ceremony. It was a beautiful day.

 



Here she is with her Uncle Dan and Aunt Pam

I also wanted to share how well my garden is doing. I blogged a while back and showed my empty beds. Now look at what this great weather has done.

 

 

I created a graduation card for one of Julianne's friend. I used the "Class of 2015" Stampin' Up! stamp with designer series paper and glitter stars. I think it came out great. What do you think?

 

Products used included the Typeset Designer Series paper, the Ovals Collection Framelits,
silver embossing powder, Black and White cardstock, Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper,
and the star from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack. Add a little Pearl accent for more bling

Happy Stampin',

Hi Everyone,

What a beautiful Saturday! I just finished watering my raised beds and am perplexed on where to plant the rest of my things. I'm out of space, but still need more room. Any ideas on to add space in a creative way?

It' hard to believe that the new catalog for Stampin' Up! is just around the corner. I pulled some of my retiring products to see what I just needed to do or say to them before they are discontinued. I'm just lucky that I have them.

Take a look at the retiring products to see what you can't live without. The sale prices for retired items just can't be beat! Up to 50% off. Here are a few of my favorite picks.

Apothecary $29.71

 A Round Array $11.96

 

From My Heart $28.95



Labels Collection $13.48 

 

A Litte Sumthin' Sumthin $6.98

Back to Black DSP $10.95

Be sure to contact your demonstrator to order these great products or other great products. Or you can shop on-line at http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/CategoryPage.aspx?categoryid=3073 and use the hostess code #RDXYX2RE to qualify for hostess benefits. This code will be good through May 20th.


I did a fun event at my daughter's dance studio. The girls had a sleep over and we made Mother's Days cards. I used fun spring colors and flowers.

Hi Everyone,

A beautiful day out in the garden today planting more veggies. I'm running out of room, but I have a few grow tubs to set up, so I should be good.

Well I had a blast having a "Stamp til you Cramp" night. We managed 8 cards that I created on the spot. I did have some help along the way from the stampers too. I hope you like my samples. Let me know what you think. I love the "Big News" stamp set. We did 4 from that set and then "Walk in the Wild" set, which is being retired, we made 3.

Walk in the Wild

Crumb Cake, Marina Mist, Wild Wasabi (Stamp off)

Not Quite Navy, Cajun Craze, DSP

Basic Gray, Smokey Slate, DSP

 

Big News

Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Stars embossing folder, Crisp Cantaloupe Baker's Twine, Glitter Star

Pink Pirouette, striped baker's twine, DSP, Costal Cabana, Glitter Star

Black, Pearls, Petite flower punch, Memento Ink, Vanilla CS, Vanilla satin ribbon, Type Set DSP

White craft ink, Night of Navy, Marina Mist, Ultrasmooth white CS, Sequins
Inspired by a You tube video



Cherry Cobler CS, Basic Black CS, Irresistibly Yours DSP, Washi Tape, glitter star, Baja Breeze Ink





It's hard for me to choose my favorite, but I do love the baby cards. I think the baby boy card with the stars is my favorite. I love the "Big News" stamp set! I'm sure glad it will still be available. I can't say the same for "Walk in the Wild" stamp set. It will be available through June 2nd as long as supplies last.


This is the best time to get those retiring items you just have to have. Most are on sale and many up to 50% off. That's awesome. If you would like to place an order, simply use the hostess code #RDKYXZRE. This will count you in to possibly be the mystery hostess. The April hostess is enjoying $40.00 free.


Don't forget if you can join me for my "Drowning in my own tears" stamp-a-stack this Saturday, you can create 10 cards w/envelopes for $10.00. You make 2 of each of the 5 designs. If you aren't local, I'm happy to make a set and mail them off for and additional $5.00. Check out my events at www.maryblocher.stampinup.net Hope you can make it.
