Dad’s 77th Birthday!

Stampin' Up! birthday card for my Dad's 77th birthday designed by demo Beth McCullough.  Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com  #StampingMom

It’s hard to believe my Dad is turning 77!  He seems so young.  Last year when we were in Hawaii, we had a Kayak race and he and Sean won!  He was by far the oldest person on our tour that involved kayaking, hiking about two miles in knee deep mud to a waterfall and then swimming at the waterfall.  Dad took it all in stride and made it look easy.  When he would have my kids visit in North Carolina, he would take them horseback riding, bike riding, climbing waterfalls and white water rafting.  Yep, he’s up for the Grandpa of the Year Award!

I used this sketch from SundayStamps for the inspiration for the card.  When I showed the card to Superman, he said it looks like Dad must be an Ohio State fan.  Well, he’s not.  He is a graduate of Iowa State and loves watching Cyclone Football and Basketball.  Unfortunately their colors are Cardinal and Gold.  Guess I wasn’t thinking.

Can you see the piercing all the way around the oval.  I thought it was a nice touch.

Abby thinks one of the best things about Grandpa is all the stories he tells.  She’s been taping his stories and hopes to help him write his life story.

Keegan had his audition for James and the Giant Peach today.  He thought it went pretty well.  I’ll let you know what part he gets.  He goes to a big school, so sometimes the part might be Peach Tree #37 or something like that. 🙂

Hope you’re having an awesome week and I hope you have a great birthday Dad!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Living-With-Style-Blog-Hop-for-Blog

Welcome to our Blog Hop! We are eagerly awaiting spring and today we have some great ideas, inspiration, tips, resources and how-to for you this Spring as you move along through the blog hop.

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Kristy Stewart at Under My Gabled Roof on our Living with Style Blog Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you make sure to see and learn from all of the articles featured here today.

When I think of Spring, I think of baskets for Easter and May Day.  Here are a couple of my favorite baskets both made with the Stampin’ Up! Berry Basket die.  The first basket is the original size of the Berry Basket.

StampinUp Hershey's Kisses carrot made by demo Beth McCullough.  Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom

As you can see above, the Kisses don’t fit all the way down to the point, so I taped the extra to the back of the carrot.  I bet you’re wondering where I found orange Kisses?  Walmart has carrot cake flavored orange Kisses right now.  They are yummy!  They taste a lot like Hershey’s Hugs.

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like the directions for the Double Berry Basket.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
