I love this easy Fun Fold card that I CASEd (Copy and Share Everything) from my friend and Stamping Joy team member, Linda Lais.

Linda made this card with her good friend, Georgia Burhite, and sent it to me for a Stamping Joy Team Event we had last week. Isn’t it darling?! Great job Linda and Georgia!

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  I love being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0034 is National Creativity Day (May 30) and/or Fun Fold.   #festivefridaychallenge  I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us.

If you need help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d love to help you!

Marcelyn Monday

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.

Did you see Marcelyn did her very first Facebook Live on my Stamping Mom Facebook page last Wednesday? She did a great job showing how to make these fun boxes. See the video of her Facebook Live here.

This beautiful new Designer Series Paper is called Perennial Essence. It reminds me of a Monet painting.

Marcelyn added the adorable SAB frogs to this box.

I sure hope you’re now thinking, “How do I make these Baby Onesie cards?” Well you’re in luck. Awhile back I made a video. See the video on my YouTube channel here.

I would love it if you would subscribe and leave a comment on my video. Speaking of videos, did you know I’ve been doing a Facebook Live every Wednesday at noon? Please go to my Stamping Mom Facebook page here.

You can click on “Videos” on the left side. If you’re trying to watch FB Live on a Wednesday at noon and I’m not there when you get there, just keep refreshing the page.

So are you convinced to get the $30 Wood Crate Framelits? I sure hope so. You can buy them here on my online store.

You can also order Baby Onesie cards from me already made and ready to go. I do custom orders and also sell cards of all types from my Stamping Studio. If you live in the Des Moines area, send me an email at Beth@StampingMom.com

I do one-on-one crafting sessions, group card making classes and Ladies Night Out card making. Please send me an email and we’ll set something up.

What are you doing for Mother’s Day weekend? I’m blessed to have all my kids home this weekend except for Sean, who lives in Seattle. I’m sure he will be calling me, however. 🙂

Saturday morning Steve and I went on a bike ride with our Des Moines Cycle Club friends and had breakfast at the Redfield American Legion. RAGBRAI ( RAGBRAI is the annual bike ride across Iowa that Steve, his brothers and I always ride a couple days together) is going through Redfield this year and one of the gals asked us what they should make to sell to the bikers? Homemade pie is what many of the RAGBRAI riders want the most!

Speaking of homemade pie, I hosted my end of the year fellowship for my Bible Study Fellowship group at my house on Tuesday and Marlene made yummy homemade cherry pie, while Bailey made awesome homemade raspberry pie. Helen is originally from Australia and made a wonderful authentic Australian dessert. We sure were spoiled! Everyone brought lots of yummy food and I made chicken salad and iced tea. Mickell loved the Iced Tea! Every time I make Iced Tea someone wants to know my secret. Here it is, the Mr Coffee Iced Tea maker for less than $20. I use one family Luzianne tea bag and three tea bags of Ginger Peach Tea.

Here’s some pictures of my BSF group whom I love, the table beforehand and the prayer journals I made for each of them.

My dining room table is made for 12, so I added a little table on the end to squeeze in 16. It was such a blessing to have our entire group together for the last day! If you want to sign up for Acts next year or learn more about Bible Study Fellowship click here.

In the center are two of my live African Violets. I love growing African Violets, but have never thought before to put them on the table for a luncheon.

 I printed the “Be Strong and Courageous Joshua 1:9” on the computer and the then made the covers and matched them to the Ink Joy gel pens. I love these pens. You can get them here.

I hope you had a fabulous Mother’s Day weekend! Please come back tomorrow for Marcelyn Monday.

Blessings,

Beth
