Birthday

Mermaid Birthday Card

Welcome to our Pals Blog Hop, May 2018. This month we’ll be “Stepping Up with Textures or Techniques.” What’s that? Projects that are “stepped up” by using textures or fun techniques. Who knows, maybe both! Join us in the fun while we inspire you to “step up” your creations.

You may be starting the hop here or you may be coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

The Myths & Magic Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) is beautifully textured paper that will be retiring May 31.

The Magical Day Bundle will also be retiring.

The mermaids are so cute, I had to put another one inside the card.

My card was cased from this fun fold card that Tina Rappe sent me.  Thanks Tina, I love it!

Let me know if you want directions to make my card.

Now it’s time to see how the rest of the Pals are Stepping up with Textures or Techniques. Please use the Blog Hop Line-Up below to move from blog to blog. Don’t forget to show us some love by commenting on our creations.

Mark your calendars for June 13, 2018 where we feature projects for Babies, Birthdays and Brides. You’ll probably even see products from Stampin’ Up!s new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog. Don’t miss it!

Keegan got all four of his wisdom teeth removed a couple days ago.  He’s recovered pretty well and is going back to school on Monday.  His favorite foods to eat the first couple days were Butter Pecan or Strawberry ice cream,  Chocolate pudding and Gnocchi from Latin King. I know it’s not healthy, but he was in survival mode.

Yesterday, Keegan spent a couple hours making fleece blankets for two little girls that have cancer.  He needed a few more hours to graduate with a Silver Cord.  The high school kids are required to volunteer at least 50 hours all four years of high school in order to be recognized with a Silver Cord at graduation.  Keegan volunteered by doing Therapy Dog visits with me, going on a mission trip to Tijuana, Mexico to help build a house for a family, going on a mission trip to the Navajo Indian reservation where we built a handicap ramp at a senior citizen’s home, helping senior citizen’s in Des Moines with their electronics, volunteering at Bible School and more.  I’m really proud of you Keegan and I think you figured out you really enjoy volunteering!

Here’s Molly as she was “helping” Keegan finish tying the fleece blanket.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
