All Occasion

The Sunshine Sayings stamp set has this adorable flower and leaf.  It also has awesome words in the set.

Isn’t it cute?  Did you see you can bundle it with the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits for $45?  With Stampin’ Up’s special this month, you get a $5 coupon to spend in August for every $50 you spend in July.  Who doesn’t want to save 10%!

I chose these colors because I wanted to participate in the Sunday Stamps Challenge. #SSC131  I love the bright and happy colors they were using this week.

I see a note card box gift set in my future.  Please subscribe to my blog so you can see the box when I get it done.

If you make Stampin’ Up! cards or 3-D gifts, please follow my Group Stampin’ Up Board here and let me know you want to be a collaborator on the board.  After I send you an invite, you can pin your Stampin’ Up cards and 3-D items to the board.  I just started the board last week and there are already around 650 people following the board, so lots of people will see your pins and projects! Please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com.

Bible school is done and it’s time to start stamping again!  I was surprised how worn out I was after spending a week with 26 first graders.  How do teachers do it?

Abby and Keegan are getting ready to go to a week of Bible camp for “kids only.”  This is different from the family Bible camp that we all go to every summer.  Abby loves that she gets to ride horses every day.  Keegan loves playing a game called Nukem.  They play it on a sand volleyball court.  They are also excited because the camp has a brand new awesome swimming pool.  If it’s as hot here next week as it was this week, they may need to spend all day in the pool. Superman and I will be empty nesters for a week.  It’s a good thing we still have our pups, Maya and Molly to keep us entertained!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

I’ve been MIA for a few days because after Sean left Wednesday evening, I spent all the time I could with Abby on Thursday and Friday.  We shopped, packed, crafted and went to lunch.  Superman and I made her favorite last couple meals including Cauliflower stir fried “rice” with beef and broccoli, Cayman eggs and homemade hamburger pizza.  Abby also got all her laundry done and cleaned up her room.  I didn’t realize it could be that clean and organized.  Now that I know it’s possible…

On  Saturday Abby took the SAT college entrance exam and then Superman and I spent ten hours driving Abby to camp, helping her get settled, taking  Ryan and Abby out for dinner and then one last trip to Walmart for extension cords, trash can etc. and then the long trip home.  It was hard to leave Abby there to be a camp counselor this summer.  My other kids have never been gone for the summer at such a young age.

The three of us remaining at home (Superman, Keegan and I) will be up visiting our two middle kids in Okoboji soon.  It will be quite an adjustment for Keegan to have to absorb all the parenting and advice Superman and I still feel the need to impart.  He’s never been our only kid at home.

Anyway I need a bunch of cute and easy cards to send encouragement to my kids while they’re serving the Lord at camp.  Use Your Stuff has a great color challenge this week.  Please stop by and play along.

I used Stampin’ Up retired colors Green Galore and Orchid Opulance and current color Bermuda Bay.  The two outer flowers are punched with the Flower Medallion punch.  I also used the Pansy punch and Petite Petals for the smaller flowers.  Quick and easy, but Abby will love it!

I have so much more I want to tell you, but Superman is waiting for me to watch a movie with him.  Please subscribe to my blog and I’ll be back with more stamping ideas and a few more stories of our crazy life.

Hope you have a great day!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
