On Saturday, seven of the Joy Team members got together at my home and participated in the Creativity Now online conference with Stampin’ Up! We had a delicious lunch of Big Tomato Pizza (it’s a specialty pizza place in Des Moines), salad, cookies and more. We made several cards and had all the fun we could think of. Our Joy Team meets weekly online via Zoom to make cards and do life together. Friends don’t let friends craft alone, so come join our team! No pressure and no selling required. Just buy at a discount like you do at Costco. 🙂

Linda came all the way from Wisconsin to join us this weekend. We have another in-person Christmas party coming up on August 11 and Becky may be coming from Florida. Why are we having our Christmas party in August? Well, the Iowa State Fair is happening then, which is super fun, and it gives team members from other states a chance to more easily travel to Des Moines. (There’s usually snow and ice in December.) You can pick out $155 in products and pay $99 to join Stampin’ Up and our Joy Team. We hope you’ll decide to join us!!

Here’s some of Joy Team members making their cards in my Stamping Studio. It’s my happy place and a fun place to hang out!

My sweet daughter, Abby, is graduating from college soon, so I made this for her graduation gift. It’s great for either money or a gift card. 🙂

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  I love being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0058 is National Lucky Penny Day (May 23rd). The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE or more of the items in your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge  I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d love to help you!

I used green, gift packaging, congratulations, stripes and circles off the Inspo List.

SINGLE STAMPIN’ BLENDS MARKER UPDATE

You may have noticed that we will no longer offer single Stampin’ Blends Markers. We made this decision based on sales and ordering trends showing that our customers prefer the combo pack, which includes one light and one dark Stampin’ Blends Marker.

If you would still like to purchase single Stampin’ Blends Markers, they will be available until June 2 or while supplies last. If we run out of a single color during this time, the item will no longer be orderable.

Blessings,

Beth

Ryan graduated and Marcelyn Monday

Before Christmas, our son Ryan graduated from Iowa State with a degree in Software Engineering.  The best part is he has a job!  Here’s the card I made for him.  The Large Number Framelits have retired, but they will always be in my stash. 🙂  Numbers also happen to be the challenge over at Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog this week.  Head over to http://useyourstuff.blogspot.com/ and enter your card, 3-D item or scrapbook page containing numbers.  Please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com if you would like some help. 🙂

I am incredibly proud of Ryan!  I love this sentiment that came from the new, “Incredible Like You,” stamp set, which is in the 2019 Occasion Catalog on page 21.

 

Here’s my parents, Steve, Abby, Keegan and I showing love and support for Ryan!  At least I think Keegan is showing support…the sign he’s holding above Ryan’s head says, “future inventor of something useless.”

 

My Dad is a 1962 Iowa State graduate!  He greatly influenced all my kids and my three boys ended up becoming engineers at Iowa State, just like Grandpa! You can tell how proud Grandpa is here with Ryan and Cy!

 

Marcelyn Churchill is my friend, Stamping Joy team member, fellow BSFer (Bible Study Fellowship) and prolific crafter.  She doesn’t have a blog, so I share some of her creations on most Mondays.

I know you’re all going to want to directions to make this, so please contact Marcelyn directly at marcelynchurchill@msn.com
