Yep, it’s been awhile since we’ve had a Marcelyn Monday. Don’t worry Marcelyn is crafting as much as always. I just haven’t been around to get the photos and post them.
Marcelyn Churchill is my friend, Stamping Joy 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.
I hosted two Stamping Christmas parties last week. One for our Stampin’ Up demos in Central Iowa group and one for my Stamping Joy Team. The day before the first party I was busy setting the table and decided we needed two more items for the centerpiece display. I saw the card below on my shelf and made a quick call to Marcelyn. “Hi Marcelyn, how are you doing? Good. Any chance you want to make your navy Bethlehem card without the side flaps and add the vellum, city scene and star so you can see it from both sides? She was happy to do it, knew exactly what I wanted and showed up the next day with two of the centerpieces you see above. The “snow” was her idea and a nice touch. 🙂 They are sitting on a mirror so that’s why you see double in the picture. They are gorgeous and Marcelyn was once again my hero!
In the picture below you can see the table set and ready for the Christmas party. The two Sprig punch trees were made by Marcelyn. I gave Marcelyn the paper and asked her to make these two trees way back in September. (In case you might have thought everything is done at the last minute at break neck speed.) 🙂 Marcelyn also made the fudge boxes. (Yes, again a September request) You can pull the fudge out on the ribbon side and a “Merry Christmas” pops out on the other side. The fudge was made by my husband, Steve. Thenks to you Marcelyn, it was a lovely party!
The china is from International China Company “A Christmas Story” by Susan Winget. Steve’s parents gave me these dishes, glasses, serving pieces etc. over 10 or 15 years of Christmas presents. I love using them and hope one of my kids will want them some day. Will people even have a dining room table or eat on china dishes in another twenty years?!
If you have any questions about the centerpieces, fudge boxes or Sprig Punch trees, please contact Marcelyn directly at marcelynchurchill@msn.com
The Central Iowa demos did a gift exchange at our party. Below are projects made by the demos. If you have questions about these, please leave a comment and I’ll put you in touch with the demo who made it.
Blessings,
Beth 🙂

Would like the information for the night of Bethlehem sampler.
It would be great if Marcelyn would show us on video how she made the table lantern. Her step tower video was good.
All of these cards/projects are awesome. Could you please tell me how to get in touch with Kathy? I’d love to know how she made her angel. I love it!
Thanks
Always great creations from all of you
Marcelyn is totally amazing! I am so sorry I could not come to the party and officially meet this marvelous lady. Beth, your table looks wonderful as well. Love the gift exchange ideas and yours was over the top. Maybe next year….
Great Tablescape! Marcelyn has out done herself, beautifully! All those beautiful creations too! a great ‘team effort’! Blessings to all!
