Please head over to Festive Friday Challenge and join us.

I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas!  We had the McCullough Christmas in Davenport, the Olson Christmas in Kansas City and we celebrated just the six of us in Des Moines, attending the amazing Christmas Eve service at our church.  We also had fun at the annual Knoff family game night!

Steve recently traded his car for a vehicle big enough for the six of us to travel together.  We now know our kids liked it better when we had to take two vehicles everywhere. LOL!  Abby, Keegan and I usually took one car and would sing Broadway musicals. I’m not sure what the older boys and Steve did in their car, but I do know everyone was happier with no on in the far back getting car sick. 🙂

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

I’m hosting this week’s challenge over at Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog. Do you have Enamel Dots in your stash?  If so, it’s time to make a card, 3-D item or scrapbook page and add a few Enamel Dots to your design.  Then head over to Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog and add your picture.  Never entered a challenge? Never fear, I’ll help you get it done. Email me at Beth@StampingMom.com. I get it, I made cards for about 12 years before I ever entered a challenge.  It’s pretty fun, and so exciting though when you win a challenge.  Ask Ruth Sollberger and Marcelyn Churchill, I encouraged them to enter a challenge and they’ve both won some. 🙂

Here’s the inside of the Fun Fold card.

Are you wondering why I’m making Snowman cards in October? Well, it’s Oct 14 and it snowed in Iowa today! I took this picture while it was snowing, but you can’t see the snow.  You can see four of my raised gardens.  They are still going strong and not ready for winter.  Before it freezes we usually put tarps over the gardens and the hoops hold them up.The small square garden in front is my herb garden.   Another reason I try to prolong the growing season is, I like to use my own fresh Rosemary and Sage when I host Thanksgiving.  It’s over a month away so they might not make it this year. 🙂

I had such a wonderful week!  Our dear friends, Debbie and John Gorman, were here visiting from Alabama.  It had been two years since we’d seen them.  Debbie and I spent one day by ourselves, having all the fun we could think of! Love you both and see you soon!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Sprig Punch Wedding Card

Stampin Up Sprig Punch Wedding card designed by demo Beth McCullough. See more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

We had an extra fun wedding last week, because I’ve been friends with both the mother of the groom and mother of the bride for years.  The groom’s Mom wanted me to make a card for her to give with Galatians 5:22-23 and pears-as in perfect pair.

Galatians 5:22-23 English Standard Version (ESV)

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

The wedding invitation had greenery in a wreath, so I used the new Sprig Punch and made a wreath in similar colors.  If you don’t own this punch yet, you should consider getting it.
