This would make a great card for many different occasions.

The card folds up and fits in a standard size envelope.

I added another cute die cut from the Hand-Penned Bundle and a place to write a note on the back of the card.

It is Spring in Iowa and I couldn’t be happier! I have 6 raised gardens in my backyard and I’ve decided to grow some of my plants from seeds in my sunroom starting this week. Have you started seeds indoors? Do you have any advice for me? I’m starting inside with sweet peppers, tomatoes and herbs. I’ll have a lot more varieties when I’m planting outdoors in May.

This winter we got an Air Fryer and my new favorite food is brussels sprouts. Who knew? When I was a kid I was probably forced to eat brussels sprouts. 🙂 Now I happily eat them almost everyday. Many restaurants have deep fat fried Brussel Sprouts, which are not healthy. I make mine with Avocado Oil Spray and Pink Himalayan Salt. So yummy and so good for you! I will definitely be growing brussels sprouts in our garden.

Can’t wait to hear your seed starting tips!

Blessings,

Beth

Springtime Joy

Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team’s theme is “Cute Critters” – showcasing their card/project with adorable animals, birds, or insects for any occasion. We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Ski Adventure 2021

Monday was the first day on the slopes in Park City, Utah, which is only a stones throw away from the Stampin’ Up Headquarters. I’m much relieved that I can still ski and I still love it as much as ever! The preparation I did exercising and losing weight paid off. Ryan (2nd son- age 25) and I skied together most of the time. We are sensible Blue run skiers who enjoy the majesty of God’s creation. Steve (my sweet husband) and Sean (1st son- age 30) are still the best skiers, spending most of their time on Black Diamond runs. I’m not sure they take time to look around because they are trying not to crash most of the time. 🙂

Even though we had so much fun, there were some difficulties, too. In our condo, the boys room was about 80F degrees and our bedroom was about 50F degrees. I had to have one set of thermal underwear to use for skiing and one set to put on along with several layers of clothing when it was time to go to bed. I told you on Monday’s post about the 35 steps to get down into the condo. We could really feel them after a day of skiing. It made for an even better legs workout.

On Tuesday we took a rest day and went shopping at the Outlet Mall. Steve and Ryan both got new ski jackets and ski pants. Ryan didn’t think he needed a new jacket, but his old one had duct tape on the front of it where it was ripped (a dead give away that maybe it’s time for a new one). We also played several games and I beat Ryan at Chess for the first time ever! I did have a little help from Steve. 🙂 Please stop back on Friday to hear the next chapter of our ski adventure.

More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Mark your calendars for our next blog hop on April 14th when our theme is “Great Family Occasions” when our Design Team creates a project for any special occasion. Don’t miss the fun! Until then, please stay safe and have fun in your craft space.
