BackStage in Las Vegas was the best! It was fun getting the chance to get a picture with Sara Douglass, the Stampin’ Up CEO. She is super sweet!

Here’s the view from our window on the 19th floor! It was fun to wake up to this each morning.

By afternoon, here’s the view.

One of my favorite gifts from BackStage. It was fun to see friends, new and old. My roommate, Ginger, was delightful and is now stuck with me as a life long friend. Loved spending the weekend with your Ginger. 🙂

Stampin’ Up surprised us by taking us to the Beatles Love Cirque show at the Mirage. Everything was so beautiful! I would love to have these flowers sitting on my kitchen counter year round. 🙂

I love gymnastics and music and this show had it all. I would recommend it for anyone visiting Las Vegas. I have more pictures and stories from Las Vegas coming soon. 🙂

Join my husband, Steve, and I as we put together a Paper Pumpkin with you and chat via Zoom each month. I also offer two Paper Pumpkin alternative tutorials each month. This is available to everyone who purchases their Paper Pumpkin through me.

If you’ve ever joined our live videos on YouTube and FB on Tuesdays at 7pm CT, you’ll know my husband, Steve, is fun to hang out with! Every month Steve and I do a Zoom call to chat and put together a Paper Pumpkin. It’s super fun and I hope you’ll join us. You can purchase one Paper Pumpkin Box or save money and get a subscription. At the bottom of this post you can see all the options and order them from my online store or you can sign up here.

I’m on the Festive Friday design Team and this week’s challenge #FF0141 is National Beach Day which is August 30th.

Where is your favorite beach? Please let me know in the comments. I’d love to hear all about it. 🙂

My favorite beach is in Cayman Brac. We go there for a couple weeks in the winter so Steve can scuba dive.

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE of the items in your project and link up! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about National Beach Day – at all! #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! Even if you’ve never entered a card challenge before, now is the time to start.

Does anyone in your life love outer space? Stargazing is an awesome suite in the annual catalog that makes creating space cards fun and easy. My husband and kids love outer space! Steve wrote a book about Mars 25 years ago. Our oldest son, Sean, went to Space Camp twice as a kid.

Last January in Cayman Brac, Ryan, Bree, Steve and I all laid down on the beach to gaze up at the Milky Way. Because there’s no light pollution, we could see all the stars and it was amazing!

Last night during our Live Video we found out that the late husband of our demo friend, Mary Harris, discovered the rings around Neptune. How cool is that? You can read the NY Times article here.

When you open this card you get a pop up surprise with the planets soaring in the air on window sheet strips. I love making fun fold cards and have quite a collection on my YouTube channel. You can check it out here.

This month’s blog hop and tutorial bundle for Creativity Abounds is all about fun folds. Be sure to place a $50+ order with me to get your 12 card tutorial bundle free or you can purchase it for $15. All the details are further down in the post. At the end of the post I have all the products I used to make these cards that you can purchase in my online store. I usually have a personal story at the end of the post if you’re interested.

Inside the card (2) 5-1/4” x 3” Stargazing DSP

My Joy Team meets every week via Zoom and makes fun fold cards and other projects together. Everyone looks forward to it. We also meet a couple times during the year in person for anyone who can make it to my home in Iowa. In the past our Christmas Party was the week after Thanksgiving, but to give everyone a better chance of attending we moved it to August coinciding with the Iowa State Fair. Several people had last minute issues, but those who made it had a fabulous time. I made everyone my specialty dish- Ziti Cucina and even got out my Christmas dishes. These are very special to me because Steve’s parents gave them to me over several years. We had Steve’s fudge and gifts for everyone who attended. The “joy” box contains the fudge. We did a card swap and made a Christmas tag from the new Festive Tags kit.
