Holiday Catalog Share and Marcelyn Monday

Holiday Catalog Share

It’s Time for my 2018 Holiday Catalog Product Shares

Here’s what a few people had to say about past shares 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”

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!

How Shares Work

  • 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, or you may send a check.

  • Your papers will be lovingly wrapped and identified to protect them; ribbons will be rolled; and embellishments will be placed into small plastic bags.  Your shares will be sent out via the US Postal Service.

Stampin Up Lilypad Lake cards made by Marcelyn Churchill.

Marcelyn Churchill is my friend, stamping 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.  These beautiful cards made with the Lilypad Lake stamp set.  Please email Marcelyn at marcelynchurchill@msn.com if you’d like to know how she made these cards.

Stampin Up Lilypad Lake cards made by Marcelyn Churchill.

Last week we spent the week at Okoboji Family Bible Camp.  This is our 22nd year in a row!  Keegan was blessed to spend the summer there as a counselor. Ryan, Abby and Keegan have each spent at least one summer working at the camp.

Here’s Keegan and other counselors leading one of the Theme Verses after the day’s skit.  Do you have trouble memorizing scripture?  Me too.  At camp they put the scripture to a song and add actions.  I’ve found it truly is the best way for me to memorize Bible verses.

We take our family games of mini golf seriously.  Steve was the winner of this round!  He’s wearing his new Tie Dye shirt we made on Tuesday at camp.

 

Being a counselor is exhausting, so Keegan and his friends found every opportunity to use their hammocks.

Here’s Ryan, Abby and Keegan horsing around with our friend Anna. We’ve known Anna all her life. 🙂

Okoboji Bible Camp is truly a Holy Spirit filled place and it is my happy place for one week each summer.  We don’t have a TV, newspaper or any of the world’s distractions there.  We spend time with God, our family and friends.  Steve and I got up early a couple mornings and rode the 20 miles around the lake.  That’s when I took this picture.

Hope you can join us for our next Stampapalooza on Saturday, September 29 at my Stamping Studio. Please mark your calendar and plan to attend!  Marcelyn already has one of the gifts figured out.  You’re going to love it!  Please email and let me know if you’re interested in Stampapalooza or a Holiday Catalog Share.  Beth@StampingMom.com

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

I added a little strip of the polka dot 6 x 6 DSP to make the envelope cute. This is my favorite Designer Series Paper (DSP)  and you’ll find it on the bottom of page 191 of the catalog.  I have purchased the dots and stripes in all six color families.  This way I have cute paper to go with all of my cardstock colors. 🙂

Recently I was telling you about my favorite ice cream at Whitey’s in the Quad Cities, and learned some of you already know about Whitey’s. 🙂 Last weekend my family went to Chicago to see the Cubs play and since we drive through the Quad Cities to get there, we all enjoyed a treat from Whitey’s.  We also stopped and took Steve’s parents out for dinner.  This is Ryan, Steve and Abby at dinner.  Keegan stayed at camp where he’s working for the summer.  Sean flew in and met us in Chicago.

We all had fun at the Cubs game on Saturday.  Saturday night we went to a Irish Festival and got to listen to a great Irish Band, Tupelo,  in which Sean’s childhood friend, Dan Kristan, was playing the stand up Bass and Electric Bass.  On Sunday Abby and I met up with a couple of our friends, first Aiden and her family and later Jenny and her family.  It was great to see them all!  The guys went to the Cubs again on Sunday.  The Cubs won both games which made it even more fun!

Come join us for a day of stamping at my Stamping Studio in West Des Moines, IA.  I promise you won’t be disappointed.  Email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and reserve your spot.  We have a couple spots remaining. Beginners welcome!  If you can’t make it on July 21, you can reserve a spot and come stamp with me on a different day.

Get a free set of ink pads with the starter kit. Contact demo Beth McCullough at BethMcCullough@StamingMom.com

Which set of ink pads do you want to get for free? Yep, I said free!  Email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’ll tell you all about it.:)  Two people have already gotten their free ink pads from me this week.  This is open to anyone in the United States.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
