Birthday

Yeah!  I finally get to start showing you what I made as a display stamper for the Stampin’ Up! OnStage event in Kansas City!

I made one 12×12 scrapbook page, two A2 cards, several 3×3 cards and many bags and boxes.  I’ll be posting them over the next couple weeks.  Please subscribe to my blog so you don’t miss any.  This is my very favorite card.  I love it and hope you do too!  When Stampin’ Up sent me a box of free products in August, I was thrilled when I opened it and found the Party Animal Suite.  I got the Balloon Adventures stamp set, Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies, Party Animal DSP and more!  The colors in the the Party Animal Designer Series Paper (DSP) are Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Emerald Envy, Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango and Whisper White.  It is bright, happy and fun.  I love it!  I only wish I would’ve thought to make a shaker card with it. I highly recommend the Party Animal Suite of products.  It was so much fun making everything!

I got to go to Center Stage Friday night, which is the special dinner and event for Silver Elite and above.  Yep, I’ve been a demo for 13 years and never qualified for Center Stage until now… because of my promotion in September, I was at Center Stage and it was so cool!  I even got the special bag that only those at Center Stage receive.  After watching others get these for 13 years, I have to admit it was really fun to get one!  Thanks so much to my customers and downline team mates for helping me achieve this fun reward!

I’ll be back with all my other display samples over the next two weeks while I’m busy cleaning up from the construction and moving into the remodeled space in my house.  Everything is supposed to be done this Friday!  I’m also hosting a big Thanksgiving at my house, so it’s going to be a busy couple weeks.  If you visited my house today, you would say it isn’t possible that everything will be done, cleaned and ready by Thanksgiving!  I hope I can tell you on Thanksgiving that we got it all done!

Blessings,

My Aunt Irene is having a birthday and she rides a Harley, so One Wild Ride is the perfect stamp set!  I love the combination of Harley and pink and sparkly.  Hope your birthday is awesome Aunt Irene!

I also love the tire track on the envelope!

Have I shared my DIY summer project with you?  Several years ago my kids wanted a backyard trampoline, but Superman was worried someone might get hurt.  Later, I decided to ask for a trampoline for Mother’s Day and Superman gave in.

We’ve had the trampoline a long time and the springs are starting to rust.

So Abby and I went to WalMart and bought 16 $1 pool noodles.  I used a utility knife and cut each noodle lengthwise.

I then cut the noodles into 6 pieces, the length of each spring.  My trampoline has 96 springs.

Isn’t it cute?!  I love it!  Did you also notice I also have a “Hosta Farm” under my trampoline?  My friend Teresa gave me a few hostas several years ago.  I’ve been growing them under my trampoline and then moving them out to areas around my yard.  My yard is full of hostas now.  So…are you wondering who jumps on the trampoline?  As the kids were growing up, lots of days after school we would go out and jump, talk and I would listen to my kids.  This summer I didn’t always have a kid at home, but I still jump even by myself.  (Remember, I was a gymnast!)  I like to go out in the mornings and weed, water, and take card of my flowers and vegetable gardens.  Before I go back in, I usually jump on the trampoline.  It’s a great way to get your heart rate up fast. I always hope no one sees me.  The neighbors have never mentioned it.  They are probably embarrassed for me!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
