Today was day 3 after Steve’s knee surgery. It was the hardest day, just as they told us it would be. I applied Young Living Panaway oil on his leg and much of the pain was relieved. Thanks for praying for him.
I was thrilled to find out that I was in the Top 10 of Kylie’s International Highlights last week! Thanks so much to everyone who voted for me!!
The gorgeous Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper (DSP) was the starting point for this encouragement card. The sentiment came from the Band Together stamp set. The gold foil is cut from the Detailed Band dies. The Blackberry Bliss frame was cut using the Stitched Rectangles dies and embossed with the Subtle 3D embossing folder. The flower stamp is from the Beautiful Promenade stamp set. I stamped in Versamark and used Gold Stampin’ emboss powder. The flower and leaves were cut using the Beautiful Layers dies. The card base is Balmy Blue. I added some rhinestones too. If you have any questions, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com
This is the Magnolia card that was voted into the Top 10. I made this card by fussy cutting the flowers from the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper (DSP). You can see more about it here. Both these card use the Detailed Bands dies. Do you have them yet?
Please enjoy checking out the beautiful cards from all the other Top 10 Winners!
Merry Christmas! I hope you had a wonderful holiday. My favorite part of Christmas is celebrating the birth of Christ at my church, Lutheran Church of Hope in West Des Moines, IA. Hope had about 100 members when we joined in 1994 and now is the 18th biggest church in the USA. We have several locations and an online service every Sunday at 11am Central time. Here’s the link to find out more.
This is our son, Ryan, handing out gifts on Christmas Eve. It’s Ryan first Christmas with a real job as a software engineer and the first time he had money to buy gifts for his siblings and parents. He relished picking out special items for each of us and loved handing them out!
After church and celebrating with just the six of us, we always go to our dear friend’s home on Christmas Eve and celebrate with two other families from our original church small group. We break into teams and play a game. The 2019 Christmas champions were our sons, Sean and Ryan, and our sweet friend, Kelly. They are holding up one finger to signify their win. Abby and Keegan were at all the Christmas festivities and were careful to avoid being in the pictures.
Last weekend we celebrated with Steve’s family in Davenport, IA. It was the first Christmas since Steve’s Dad passed away. The 13 grandkids each got one of Grandpa Harold’s signed Chicago Cubs baseballs. Ryan stated he really wanted the “Sammy Sosa” ball. Abby was first to pull out a wrapped ball and it was the one that Ryan wanted. I think Ryan is still in negotiations with Abby trying to do a trade for the prized ball. Grandpa Harold always decorated his house with blue Christmas lights because he and Grandma were big fans of Elvis, who sang, “Blue Christmas.” This year Uncle Bill had a blue light display to honor their Dad.
We also celebrated in Kansas City with my family. The day included really good food, lots of games, Dominos, cards and a family walk. It was 66 degrees, which is the warmest it’s been on Christmas in 50 years! My Dad is 80 and still drives my Mom on their three hour trip to Kansas. He looks forward to being an elf every year at their Independent Living facility. Here’s my Mom sitting on Dad’s lap, Papa Noel in the center and another elf.
Steve, #triguy, is helping to keep the doctors and hospitals in business. His heart ablation in November didn’t actually work, although we thought at first it had been successful. He’s going to Mayo and having a second heart surgery in February. Today he is also having his knee fixed, but it is out patient and we should be home after a couple hours. Please pray for Steve for a successful surgery and quick recovery. Steve says he’s being rehabbed and will be ready to go for the triathlon season starting in May.
The new Mini catalog starting Jan 3, has a set that seems it was made for #triguy. It shows him swimming, running and biking. The biker is wearing a helmet in this stamp set which makes us both very happy. #triguy and our son, #ryguy both had their lives saved by a bike helmet, so we are huge advocates for them. If you get on a bike, please wear a helmet!

It’s Time for my 2020 Jan-June Mini Catalog Product Shares
If you enjoy my PDF tutorials and videos, I would love it if you would consider showing your appreciation by purchasing a share from me.
Why participate in shares? Shares are an inexpensive way to sample the new Designer Series Papers, Ribbons, and Embellishments at a fraction of what it would cost you to purchase all of them yourself. Customers and Demos alike love having a little bit of everything from the new catalog. When you see that adorable card on Pinterest, you’ll be able to make it because you bought the “I want it all” share!
Here’s what a few people had to say about past shares that I’ve
done:
“Beth, I just now had time to open my holiday share.
You did a wonderful job of separating all the paper and the ribbon and packaging
everything. I know you spent a lot of time and effort. Everything is so
perfect, I can’t wait to start crafting. Thanks again for the
share. Donna”
“Beth, the paper share looks great. Thanks for all the careful
labeling and packaging. I love all the papers. Also, the fast delivery.
Thanks, Nancy”

Simply EMAIL ME (Beth@StampingMom.com) to reserve your spot in a share. I will then ask you to send me the money via PayPal-Friends & Family, or you may send a check.
