Birthday

Pal’s Blog Hop

Welcome to the July 2017 Pals Blog Hop. Thank you so much for joining us today. This month we’re having a Pattern Party! Hoppers will feature projects using their favorite Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper and coordinating embellishments. After all, color coordination is a Stampin’ Up! Strength.

Whether you’re just starting the hop, or have come from a previous Pal’s blog, you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) in the new catalog is so gorgeous, I had trouble picking a favorite. I finally landed on Naturally Eclectic DSP.

Isn’t it pretty?!

Since I am showing you my favorite DSP, I thought I would also show you my all time favorite box.  I was surprised to see my directions to make the Snickers Box have been pinned 10,000 times! That is way more than my other pins. 🙂  Here’s the link to the directions.  You can put a full size Snickers or Milky Way bar or four mini bars in each box.

I used the Night of Navy and Emerald Envy markers to make the two tone tag.

This 5/8″ Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon comes in Berry Burst, Emerald Envy, Night of Navy and Peekaboo Peach.  I recently offered a share of paper, ribbon and embellishments so people could get a little sampling of everything. I was really excited knowing I would be keeping 1/8 of a roll of each of the 50 new ribbons in the annual catalog.  Accidentally, I oversold the ribbon and ended up with no ribbon for myself.  I was actually bummed, so to console myself I bought the Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon in all four colors!

Happy 4th of July!

Stampin Up Fourth of July flag card designed by demo Beth McCullough. Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

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!

My Pedal Off the Pounds weigh in went really well.  Part of it was I was wearing jeans the week before and biking shorts this week. The other thing was I had celebrated my birthday the entire week before so I actually weighted more than normal.  Anyway the scale showed me at -7 lbs.  I’m sure that will never happen again, but it was a very nice start.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
