Sprinkles of Life Happy Birthday

StampinUp Birthday card made with the Sprinkles of Life stamp set, created by demo Beth McCullough. Please see more card and gift ideas at www.Stampingmom.com #StampingMom

Yep! I’m making more birthday cards. #imbringingbirthdaysback This one was inspired by Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge.

PPA-298-Apr28

The Cherry On Top DSP will be retiring on May 31.  You can make the cutest birthday cards with this paper.  Buy yours here. It’s only $8 for 48 sheets!

Please leave a comment or question at the top of this post.

I’d love it if you would subscribe to my blog.

Superman and I took Abby on a college visit on Friday.  She loved it!  She’s thinking about majoring in Biomedical Engineering.

Superman and I went flower shopping in the rain today.  It was great because it wasn’t crowded at all.  Note to self, most people don’t buy flowers in the rain! Hopefully it will stop raining in the next couple days so we can plant the flowers.  Keegan will also need to bale the grass because it’s gotten so long.

We  had the spring on our garage door break yesterday.  We are now parking outside and walking to our car in the rain.  I need to remember to appreciate our attached garage and garage door opener when it’s working.

Tonight we went to Keegan’s musical, James and the Giant Peach.  Keegan played the part of an Aunt (yes, think Mrs. Doubtfire) and a Sailor.  He was a very handsome sailor!  His Aunt costume was a bit disconcerting. I hope that’s the only time I see Keegan in a dress!  We were  so happy to have two of Keegan’s grandparents, Aunt and Uncle, good friends, Ryan and Abby join Superman and I for the musical.

We have two delightful American Choir boys staying with us for three nights.  They are in 7th and 8th grade.  They seemed to enjoy hanging out with Ryan and Keegan last night.  Tomorrow they will be singing in the same concert as Abby.  I’m really looking forward to it.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

 

 

 

My homemade birthday cards

I have been doing the #imbringingbirthdaysback campaign and because of that, I received the most birthday cards I’ve probably ever received.

I received many beautiful cards, but since this blog is first and foremost a stamping blog, I’m going to only share  the homemade cards I’ve received so far…  I put the name of the sender below each card.  If you have a blog or facebook page, please write to me and I’ll add it with your name.

I recently made these faceted gift boxes for Mother’s Day and wanted to make some coordinating cards and candy.  Stampin’ Up English Garden DSP is beautiful watercolored paper.  It is retiring May 31.  You can purchase it here.

One set is for my Mom and one set is for Superman’s Mom.

The candy is Hershey’s Nuggets Milk Chocolate with Toffee & Almonds in the gold wrapper.  I wrapped them in 1″ x 3″ strips of DSP.  I was going to add a flower on the top, but this paper is so stunning I didn’t want to cover it up.

I had a sweet birthday yesterday and will write a separate post to show you all the homemade cards I received.  I even received cards from some of you, including a beautiful card from Audrey and a sweet email from my stamping BSF friend, Ruth, who I also met through this blog.  Superman and I had a nice lunch out at Fire Creek.  They have the best tomato basil soup! For dinner I made a healthier version of one of my favorite meals called Ziti Cucina.  I really enjoyed all the birthday wishes at Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) and on Facebook.  One of the sweet gals in my BSF group, Crystal, made Revelation verse cards for each week of the study and gave them to every gal in our group today. Best gift ever!  Sweet daughter Abby made the most delicious carrot cake!  She actually went over the top this year.  She bought me beautiful Gerber daisies, pretty silver earrings, and a big bag of Blue Raspberry Jolly Ranchers. I love that girl!  Sean called me and sent Facebook wishes.  Ryan and Keegan bought me a pretty pot for my deck.  Keegan also gave me more than the one required hug per day!  I’ll take as many hugs as I can get from my awesome 15 year old.  I love my family!
