I added a little strip of the polka dot 6 x 6 DSP to make the envelope cute. This is my favorite Designer Series Paper (DSP)  and you’ll find it on the bottom of page 191 of the catalog.  I have purchased the dots and stripes in all six color families.  This way I have cute paper to go with all of my cardstock colors. 🙂

Marcelyn Monday and Painted Glass

Marcelyn Churchill is my friend, stamping 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.  She had shoulder surgery on May 23 so took a break, but she is back to almost 100% and stamping like crazy!

Painted Glass fun fold cards designed by demo Marcelyn Churchill. Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom

These are two of the cards Marcelyn designed for our recent Stampapalooza Stamp Camp.  We had a wonderful time with everyone who came and stamped with us for the day.  I hope you can join us for our next Stampapalooza on Saturday, September 29.  Please mark your calendar and plan to attend!

Love these cute little 3×3 cards.

Marcelyn used the Graceful Glass 6×6 Vellum on these beautiful cards.

Please email Marcelyn at marcelynchurchill@msn.com to welcome her back and tell her which card is your favorite.

I told you Steve crashed on his bike during a triathlon one week ago and got nine stitches in his arm, broke his finger and the cement removed the skin from his shoulders, hands, etc.  He rode RAGBRAI (Register’s Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa) five days later.  Well on Saturday, exactly one week after his crash, he ran the Bix 7 road race in Davenport, Iowa. He did it in 55 minutes, his personal best time ever, in the 15 years he’s run it.  I always used to refer to him as Superman on my blog.  He’s humble and asked me to stop calling him that.  I have a hard time not calling him Superman.  He is an awesome husband and father, works very hard at his job, and pushes himself physically like Superman. Congrats on your PR (personal record) Steve!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

I like to use coordinating Designer Series Paper (DSP), or stamp an image on the envelope, so when the recipient gets it from the mailbox, they know it’s happy mail!

You may know I’ve been riding my bike all summer getting ready for RAGBRAI, which is an annual week long bike ride across the state of Iowa.  Steve, his brothers and I usually ride two days.  This year I had a sponsor, the Iowa Soybean Association.  They gave me my bike jersey and bike shorts.  Don’t be too impressed, I’m actually friends with the marketing director and she said I could get a high quality jersey and shorts if I wore it on RAGBRAI and posted it on social media. 🙂

Here’s Steve with his brothers at the after party.  Did you notice Steve’s bandages?  He crashed on his bike during the Okoboji Triathalon last Saturday after a patch of gravel flipped him on his side. He ended up in the emergency room with nine stitches in his arm, a broken finger and “road rash” everywhere. He took five days off his bike and then rode 72 miles today on RAGBRAI.  He’s one tough guy, but I hope he slows down a little. 🙂

Which set of ink pads do you want to get for free? Yep, I said free!  Email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’ll tell you all about it.:)  The last chance to get 10 free ink pads is next Tuesday, July 31.  Don’t miss out!  This is open to anyone in the United States.  My Stamping Joy Team has a lot of fun together and we would love to have you join us!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
