Stampin’ Up

Springtime Joy

Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team’s theme is “Cute Critters” – showcasing their card/project with adorable animals, birds, or insects for any occasion. We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

The Springtime Joy set has darling Critters! I love to make treat boxes and fun fold cards, so I have one of each for you today.

This Reese’s box is simple to make. Cut Cardstock at 3-1/2″ x 9-1/4.” Score at 1/2″, 1-1/4″, 3-1/4″ and 4.” Here’s a video showing a similar box I made. The measurements are slightly different, but you’ll see how the box goes together.

Ski Adventure 2021

Monday was the first day on the slopes in Park City, Utah, which is only a stones throw away from the Stampin’ Up Headquarters. I’m much relieved that I can still ski and I still love it as much as ever! The preparation I did exercising and losing weight paid off. Ryan (2nd son- age 25) and I skied together most of the time. We are sensible Blue run skiers who enjoy the majesty of God’s creation. Steve (my sweet husband) and Sean (1st son- age 30) are still the best skiers, spending most of their time on Black Diamond runs. I’m not sure they take time to look around because they are trying not to crash most of the time. 🙂

Even though we had so much fun, there were some difficulties, too. In our condo, the boys room was about 80F degrees and our bedroom was about 50F degrees. I had to have one set of thermal underwear to use for skiing and one set to put on along with several layers of clothing when it was time to go to bed. I told you on Monday’s post about the 35 steps to get down into the condo. We could really feel them after a day of skiing. It made for an even better legs workout.

On Tuesday we took a rest day and went shopping at the Outlet Mall. Steve and Ryan both got new ski jackets and ski pants. Ryan didn’t think he needed a new jacket, but his old one had duct tape on the front of it where it was ripped (a dead give away that maybe it’s time for a new one). We also played several games and I beat Ryan at Chess for the first time ever! I did have a little help from Steve. 🙂 Please stop back on Friday to hear the next chapter of our ski adventure.

More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Mark your calendars for our next blog hop on April 14th when our theme is “Great Family Occasions” when our Design Team creates a project for any special occasion. Don’t miss the fun! Until then, please stay safe and have fun in your craft space.

Saying thank you really matters. “It’s something we all learned as a small child: to say thank you. What many people might not realize is that these two simple words have a profound impact on our daily outlook, our ability to chart a course of success and most importantly to be happy. Not to mention, there are significant health benefits from embracing gratitude. Research shows that people who are more grateful have better heart health and more disease-fighting cells in their bodies.” This quote is from Dr. Bernice Ledbetter is Practitioner Faculty of Organizational Theory and Management. I want to say thank you to you! For reading my blog, watching my Wednesday at noon CST Facebook Lives or just being a crafty person who blesses others. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I’m participating in Kylie’s monthly International Blog Highlights contest and the top 10 vote winners get to participate in an International Blog Hop. Would you consider taking a moment and voting for my card? I’d really appreciate it!

This is a Bottom Flap Fun Fold card. Here’s a free pdf with directions and supplies needed to make this card.

Steve, Ryan and I made it to Park City, Utah after two days of driving. The first day we drove nine hours in perfect weather. We decided it was a brilliant decision to drive instead of flying. We had a delicious (COVID safe) steak dinner at the Wyoming Rib and Chop House and life was really good. The second day involved driving I-80 through Wyoming on ice, at an average speed of 30mph. When we weren’t skidding on ice we were driving through snow squalls with zero visibility. After four hours of white knuckle driving, I turned the wheel over to Ryan. I crawled in the back seat and tried to think happy thoughts while I prayed, and contemplated the wonders of flying to vacation destinations.

We made it to our hotel in Park City and had awesome (COVID safe) Fajitas at Loco Lizard. Today we picked Sean up at the airport and moved into our condo. We picked up groceries, our ski equipment and tomorrow is our first day on the slopes. From our condo we actually walk up some steps and ski down to the Town Lift. I’ve spent the last several months riding an exercise bike, doing the treadmill and Pilates reformer preparing for our ski trip. All of that will be very helpful, but I wish I would’ve trained on steps. We’ve walked hundreds of steps already. I’m trying to imagine how the steps will feel after a day of skiing.

Please stop by later this week to hear more about our ski adventures.

Spring is here!

The real first day of Spring isn’t until March 20, but the sun is shining and it’s warmed up so much. I’m imagining it’s here right now, so I made this bright and happy Spring card to celebrate!

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  It’s fun being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0079 is World Frog Day which is on March 20.

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE or more of the items in your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge  I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you!

As you can see, your project doesn’t have to be about World Frog Day. I used green, polka dots/stripes, circles without a frog in sight.
