I love rainbows. God is the creator of rainbows. In the Bible’s Genesis flood narrative, after creating a flood to wash away humanity’s corruption, God put the rainbow in the sky as the sign of his promise that he would never again destroy the earth with flood (Genesis 9:13–17):

I actually had a rainbow wedding and so did my parents. On May 31, Steve and I are celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary. Here’s a picture of me with my bridesmaids. What do you think of our 1986 hair?

The dresses were all lovingly made by my Grandma Olson. Yep, she made nine dresses for my wedding. The lavender bridesmaids are my sisters, Janet and Jennifer. Blue- my cousin Chris who was like a sister as we were growing up. Pink and Yellow- Stephanie and Joan- college room mates and dear friends. Peach and Green- Becky and Kathy- high school and college dear friends. The flower girls and ringbearer are cousins, Shelly, Kristopher and Karen.

My parents are celebrating the 60th anniversary of their rainbow wedding on June 19. I asked for a picture, but of course they only have black and white photos from 1961.

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge! It’s fun being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0082 is World Laughter Day which is on May 3. The world needs a little laughter right now! 🙂

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE or more of the items in your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you! I used yellow, rainbow, and sequins from the Inspo List. My “sequins” are actually Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles so I used a little artistic license on that one. 🙂

Even the inside of the card is cute!

Stampin Up May Day Treat Pouch made by demo Beth McCullough. Please shop 24/7 and see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u #simplestamping #BethMcCullough

Do you celebrate May Day where you live? In our neighborhood everyone celebrated May Day! I would help the kids make homemade baskets, sometimes it was Dixie cups with a pipe cleaner attached for the handle. We would usually fill them with half price Easter candy and popcorn. If there were three kids in a family, my kids would put three baskets on the doorstep, ring the door bell and run. What fun! They thought it was the best day ever!

This Mini May Day Treat Pouch is made with a 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (DSP). The larger one is 8″ x 8″.

I did a Facebook Live last Wednesday and showed how to make the May Day treat pouches. The quality of the video isn’t great because of internet issues, but you will get the directions to make the Treat Pouch. You can find it on my Stamping Mom Facebook page.

Here’s the link to FB Live video on YouTube showing how to make the May Day Treat Pouches.

I’ll be on Live on my Stamping Mom Facebook page at noon CST today. Please come join me!

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,

Beth

Tips- Adhere the sequins according to the rule of odds. The “rule of odds” suggests that an odd number of subjects in an image is more interesting than an even number. Thus the suggestion is to choose an arrangement with at least three subjects, hence we have three sequins. A triangular format creates a sense of stability and strength, therefore the sequins are placed in a triangular formation. Who knew you could put so much thought into where to place the sequins and how many should be used? What happens when one sequin falls off in the mail? Both rules are violated as we are left with two sequins in a line and the card automatically self-destructs! 🙂 If I send you a card and one sequin has fallen off, look for it in the envelope and reapply with a glue dot. 🙂

Another Tip- Always use Momento ink with Stampin’ Blends. Always us Stazon ink when watercoloring.

Did you notice anything wrong with the picture above? Me neither. I showed both Stampin’ Write markers and Stampin’ Blends because I thought both were used in the coloring of the cakes. Silly me! Why is it I don’t know what was used to color the cakes? I guess I should admit that I didn’t color them. Abby corrected me when she saw the picture and would like you to know that all the cakes were colored with only Stampin’ Blends. 🙂

Thanks Abby for coloring at least 15 cakes for me! I’m going to miss you so much when you go back to college this weekend and not just because you emptied the dishwasher every day for a month, wrapped all the Christmas presents and helped me with lots of things way more than your brothers! Love you Abby Dazzle! 🙂

Here’s more projects others have made with the Cake Builder Punch and Piece of Cake stamp set.

Please head over to Festive Friday Challenge and join us. You can make a humorous card or card with stitching or both.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
