January 2019 Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

Stampin Up Paper Pumpkin Alternative Jan 2019 Valentine card and box designed by demo Beth McCullough. See more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u #BethMcCullough 24/7 online shopping

I love getting the Paper Pumpkin each month! For only $20 per month, you can get a fun crafting surprise in your mailbox.  If you buy a longer subscription you can save up to an additional $2 per month plus earn several free SAB items.  I always buy a 12 month subscription during Sale-A-Bration.  It’s the most economical way to get the Paper Pumpkin. This month the kit had supplies to make 24 valentine boxes.  The great thing is if you don’t need 24 Valentine boxes, you can make other fun things.  I love this Valentine card I made.  I also changed the tag using stamps included in this kit, so I have boxes to give out all year long.

Do you need a baby card?  I came up with this using the kit as well.

Ryan graduated and Marcelyn Monday

Stampin Up Cyclone Graduation card made by demo Beth McCullough. Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u #simplestamping

Before Christmas, our son Ryan graduated from Iowa State with a degree in Software Engineering.  The best part is he has a job!  Here’s the card I made for him.  The Large Number Framelits have retired, but they will always be in my stash. 🙂  Numbers also happen to be the challenge over at Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog this week.  Head over to http://useyourstuff.blogspot.com/ and enter your card, 3-D item or scrapbook page containing numbers.  Please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com if you would like some help. 🙂

I am incredibly proud of Ryan!  I love this sentiment that came from the new, “Incredible Like You,” stamp set, which is in the 2019 Occasion Catalog on page 21.

 

Here’s my parents, Steve, Abby, Keegan and I showing love and support for Ryan!  At least I think Keegan is showing support…the sign he’s holding above Ryan’s head says, “future inventor of something useless.”

 

My Dad is a 1962 Iowa State graduate!  He greatly influenced all my kids and my three boys ended up becoming engineers at Iowa State, just like Grandpa! You can tell how proud Grandpa is here with Ryan and Cy!

 

Marcelyn Churchill is my friend, Stamping Joy team member, fellow BSFer (Bible Study Fellowship) and prolific crafter.  She doesn’t have a blog, so I share some of her creations on most Mondays.
