Tip- Whenever my card base is white or vanilla, I always use the Thick cardstock.  The Glitter Enamel Dots are so pretty and sparkly.  How nice of Stampin Up to make them in my favorite colors, except they forgot Bermuda Bay. 🙂

Recently I was telling you about my favorite ice cream at Whitey’s in the Quad Cities, and learned some of you already know about Whitey’s. 🙂 Last weekend my family went to Chicago to see the Cubs play and since we drive through the Quad Cities to get there, we all enjoyed a treat from Whitey’s.  We also stopped and took Steve’s parents out for dinner.  This is Ryan, Steve and Abby at dinner.  Keegan stayed at camp where he’s working for the summer.  Sean flew in and met us in Chicago.

We all had fun at the Cubs game on Saturday.  Saturday night we went to a Irish Festival and got to listen to a great Irish Band, Tupelo,  in which Sean’s childhood friend, Dan Kristan, was playing the stand up Bass and Electric Bass.  On Sunday Abby and I met up with a couple of our friends, first Aiden and her family and later Jenny and her family.  It was great to see them all!  The guys went to the Cubs again on Sunday.  The Cubs won both games which made it even more fun!

Come join us for a day of stamping at my Stamping Studio in West Des Moines, IA.  I promise you won’t be disappointed.  Email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and reserve your spot.  We have a couple spots remaining. Beginners welcome!  If you can’t make it on July 21, you can reserve a spot and come stamp with me on a different day.

Get a free set of ink pads with the starter kit. Contact demo Beth McCullough at BethMcCullough@StamingMom.com

Which set of ink pads do you want to get for free? Yep, I said free!  Email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’ll tell you all about it.:)  Two people have already gotten their free ink pads from me this week.  This is open to anyone in the United States.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Happy 4th of July to those in the USA!  My sweet Abby spent hours making a special lemon cake for our family 4th of July celebration.

4th of July lemon cake with "sparklers"(made from melted Jolly Ranchers), baked by Abby McCullough.

I must admit cake is usually not my favorite treat, but this truly was the best cake I’ve ever had! Grandpa and Grandma were quick to take additional cake home with them when they left.

Sean and Keegan were pretty sad they weren’t here, when the texts started going out about the cake they were missing.  Sean lives and works in Seattle. Although he comes home for many holidays, he can’t come for all of them.  Keegan is working as a counselor at our church camp in Okoboji and having an awesome summer!  Keegan grew up going to Family Bible Camp every year of his life and now gets to help other families have the same wonderful experience.  The families who have Keegan as their counselor never lack having someone to push their kids on the tire swing. 🙂

Have you heard about the ultimate bundle special this month?  You can choose $125 in products for $99, pay no shipping and choose one “family” (set of 10 ink pads) for free. Yep, almost $200 for $99.  After that you can buy Stampin’ Up at a 20 discount for several months.  There is no further obligation.  You can have fun on my Stamping Mom Joy team and continue to buy at a discount or stop at anytime.  Another happy person bought the ultimate bundle from me today and can’t believe what a good deal it was.  There are no strings attached.  Email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’ll help you.  Can’t wait to hear from you!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

My husband, Steve, and I just celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary.  Here’s my favorite wedding picture.  We actually met and became best friends ten years before we got married, so I honestly don’t remember much of my life before Steve was part of it.
