Oh Christmas Tree!

Thanks for visiting my blog today. I am part of a group of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all around the world who are training together in Kylie Bertucci’s Demonstrator Support Program 2019-2020 to grow and improve our Stampin’ Up! Businesses.
Each month we join in a fun Blog Hop together, sharing our creations with each other and with many other people around the world. It would make my day if you would leave a comment for me at the top of my post and tell me where you are from.
After viewing my blog, please click on the blog links at the bottom of the page to hop on to see the awesome creations of the other Demonstrators in our training group.

Stampin Up Oh Christmas Tree! origami card designed by demo Beth McCullough. Shop 24/7 and see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

The Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper (DSP) is gorgeous and makes a beautiful origami tree!

Here’s a free PDF with supplies and directions. Here’s the Facebook Live video showing how to make this card.

Here’s a close up of the origami Christmas tree.

Thanks to everyone who prayed for my husband, Steve, and his heart ablation surgery last week. It was a huge success and we are very grateful to God for the wisdom and ability He gave the doctor. There were a few bumpy spots when Steve was coming off the anesthesia, like when he was delirious and tried to get up in the middle of the night. I told him he needed to stay in bed and he replied, “You’re not the boss of me!” If you know my husband, he is one of the kindest people ever and would never say that to me. ( I guess when I think about it, I wouldn’t typically tell him what he can or can’t do either. ) 🙂

Steve was doing so well he was able to go with our two oldest sons and our family friends to the Bears football game in Chicago on Sunday. Ryan was celebrating his 24th birthday. Happy Birthday Ryan! Sean even flew in from Seattle for the celebration. I’ll get to see Sean when he’s home in a couple weeks for Thanksgiving.

While the boys were at the football game, Jean and I were busy making swap cards, darling 3-D boxes, and roommate gifts for OnStage, as well as my fudge boxes for Thanksgiving. I’m excited to show them all to you over the next couple weeks. I also can’t wait to go to Lansing and see many of my Stampin’ friends including the Pals and the Stampin’ Babes! My suitcase is almost packed!

Abby moves to college today

My heart is breaking and my sweet daughter couldn’t be happier. I guess that’s how it’s intended to be. We are dropping Abby off at college today. She will be a four hour round trip away, which I know doesn’t seem too far for those of you who have kids across the country or across the world, but for me it’s a lot farther than having her tucked in her bedroom for the last 18 years.

Superman (my husband Steve) printed off some Tiger Hawks for the envelope liner. Abby loved the Cubs Baby
Bear that we made for little Mr. Finnegan last week, so I knew she would love her own Hawkeye Baby Bear.

So where’s Abby’s matching Hawkeye gift bag you might be asking? Well, we spent all the Abby money last week “back to college” shopping, so Abby just got the card filled with more advice from her Mom. I had 18 years to teach her and tell her everything she needed to know, but I keep thinking of more things I need to tell her.

Lynn Tague, my good friend and stamping team member dropped off this cute card and an adorable Hawkeye hot/cold cup and Hawkeye coaster. How sweet is that?! I wish I had a picture of the cup and coaster. Abby immediately washed the cup and added them to the already packed car. Thanks so much, Lynn, for making Abby smile!

Saturday night we took Abby to her favorite restaurant, Latin King, went to church one last time and visited Abby’s grandparents to say good bye. Grandma also had an adorable pillow case she made for Abby’s body pillow, to match her quilt.

There’s nothing left to do but drive to college, haul the stuff upstairs and try to leave without sobbing.

We love you Abby!

Happy 4th of July!

Most people might use this as a 4th of July card, but I made it for a birthday card. My sweet older sister (22 months older), has a birthday on July 3. Janet is my hero. She is smart, beautiful, hard working, loves the Lord, and keeps the many plates in her life all spinning. If you need a job done well, Janet is your gal. She also has always been there for me since I was a little kid. No one messed with me because they would have to get through Janet first. I love you Janet! Have a wonderful birthday!
