Dad’s 80th Birthday!

Festive Friday Challenge

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  I love being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0028  is Mardi Gras  (Mar 5) and/or Glimmer Paper.   #festivefridaychallenge  I hope you’ll make a card or 3-D item and join us.  If you need help figuring out how to enter, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d love to help you.

My Dad will be 80 on Monday February 25!  I thought using the crazy colors of Mardi Gras and Glimmer Paper would make an extra special birthday card to show my Dad how much we love him!  Don’t tell him, but I made a card to fit in a business size (4″ x 9-1/2″ ) envelope so I could put all the gift cards we got him to his favorite area restaurants. 🙂

My Dad helps me with my therapy dogs.  We visit Memory Care and Assisted Living.  He always works with Maya, our older pup.  He doesn’t usually wear an elf suit.

Dad had on the elf suit because right after we got done with Pet Therapy, he was one of Santa’s elves for the Christmas party.  Yep, my Dad is an awesome Dad, Grandpa, Pet Therapy visitor and a darn good elf!  Happy 80th Birthday Dad!!  Mom, your three girls, three son-in-laws and nine grandkids love you very much!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Fruit Stand Birthday Card

Stampin Up Birthday card designed by demo Beth McCullough. Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

I had many birthday cards I needed to make this week.  I whipped this one up with the retiring Fruit Stand DSP.  This paper is on sale for only $8.80 while supplies last.  I think the paper is beautiful and makes a quick and easy card.  Cards don’t need to be time consuming to be beautiful!  I like to attach the paper to the flap of the envelope to really dress it up.

  • The “Happy Birthday” is from the new Happy Birthday Gorgeous set available June 1.
  •  The Stitched Shapes Framelits is a must have for every stamper.

I’ve started a new cycle program called, “Pedal Off the Pounds.”  When I signed up, I didn’t realize we were supposed to bike everyday.  I already go with Superman to Farrel’s six mornings a week for kick boxing and resistance band training.

Don’t laugh at our 80’s headbands, we sweat so much that it gets in our eyes if we don’t wear them.  I also walk with three of my favorite people, each one day a week.  My point is with this much exercise, I hope the pounds start falling off soon.

I had a birthday last week and received many beautiful handmade birthday cards.  I’ll show them to you soon.  Thanks to everyone who sent me a card.  I cherish every card I receive.

Keegan was also in a play over the weekend.  The program said he was a farmer, but he looks like a cowboy to me.  What do you think?

I have so much more I want to tell you, but I’ll save it for another blog post soon.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
