Please head over to Festive Friday Challenge and join us.

I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas!  We had the McCullough Christmas in Davenport, the Olson Christmas in Kansas City and we celebrated just the six of us in Des Moines, attending the amazing Christmas Eve service at our church.  We also had fun at the annual Knoff family game night!

Steve recently traded his car for a vehicle big enough for the six of us to travel together.  We now know our kids liked it better when we had to take two vehicles everywhere. LOL!  Abby, Keegan and I usually took one car and would sing Broadway musicals. I’m not sure what the older boys and Steve did in their car, but I do know everyone was happier with no on in the far back getting car sick. 🙂

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Steve and Beth McCullough- StampingMom.com, Butchart Gardens Victoria,CA

My sweet husband, Steve, celebrated his 55th birthday last week.  We were blessed to be able to fly to Seattle to visit our oldest son, Sean.

Victoria Clipper Ferry

The three of us took the Victoria Clipper ferry and spent the weekend in Victoria, Canada.  Sean had never been to Canada before.  I’ve been to Canada many times since my grandparents had a fishing cabin on Jan Lake, near Flin Flon, Manitoba.  They sold it before Sean was born.

 

Butchart Garden

Butchart Gardens was absolutely beautiful! We had a great time taking pictures.  All these pictures were taken by Sean. 🙂

Here’s one of the plots where they grow plants from seeds.

Butchart Gardens

This is my very favorite picture.  I wish you could see it in real life!

After we were done touring the gardens, we got to experience High Tea.  There were three courses.  We each had our own tower of plates.  The warm course was on the bottom plate, sandwiches in the middle and the dessert on top.  I haven’t been eating sugar since July, but I made an exception to get to try these wonderful desserts.

We had a great time spending the weekend with Sean!  We are super proud of him!  🙂

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Casing Mary Fish- Varied Vases

Are you new to crafting?  Do you wonder how people get their ideas?  In papercrafting we often CASE (Copy and Share Everything)

I love the card above made by my upline, Mary Fish.  This is actually made with the stamp set, Varied Vases, that she helped design as a reward for selling 1 million dollars in stamp supplies.

I have not sold 1 million dollars in craft supplies, but maybe someday… A girl can dream 🙂

I CASE’d Mary’s card and made my own version in my favorite colors.  I love Bermuda Bay and other bright and happy colors.

I  made a cute envelope to match.

Sometimes I take parts of several different cards and put them together.  I also get ideas from nature, looking through catalogs for design ideas etc.  I’d love to hear how you get ideas for your crafting.  You can leave a comment at the top of this post.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
