The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE of the items in your project and link up! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about Teddy Bear Picnic Day- at all! #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! Even if you’ve never entered a card challenge before, now is the time to start. It’s fun and it’s free! It will help inspire your creativity. Please join us!

From the Inspo List I used pastel colors, twine, and texture.

At the time I got married 38 years ago, teddy bears were one of my favorite things. Our oldest son, Sean, had a teddy bear named for him before he was born. I had lots of teddy bears. Today I only have one teddy bear and he does live on our bed. Sadly, he doesn’t have a name. He’s a white cuddly bear. Do you have any name suggestions for me?

Please hop along to all my Design Team friends below:

The best part of my day on 4th of July was playing peek a boo with my grandson. He is three months old and he laughed and giggled like I’ve never seen him do before. We also got to take him on an hour long stroller ride. James has my heart! 🙂

Project Supplies

STAMPS & BUNDLES

Beauty Abounds (150617)

PAPER

Bermuda Bay Cardstock (131197), Coastal Cabana Cardstock (131297), Crushed Curry Cardstock (131199), Whisper White Cardstock (100730), Tea Room Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) (146894)

INK

TOOLS

Big Shot (143263), Stampin’ Trimmer (126889), White Stampin’ Chalk Marker (132133), Tufted Embossing Folder (146335), Clear Rhinestones (144220)

Measurements

Cut 4-1/4” x 5-1/2″ Bermuda Bay Cardstock
Cut 3-1/4″ x 8″ Bermuda Bay Cardstock scored at 4″
Cut 3″x 3-3/4″ Crushed Curry Cardstock
Cut (2) 1/4″ x 4” Tea Room Specialty DSP
Cut 3″x 3-3/4″ Whisper White Cardstock
Scraps of Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana for the butterflies

This picture shows to use the framelit with “bigger holes” on the Bermuda Bay cardstock which will be the background of the Butterfly. I cut the Coastal Cabana butterlies with the smaller holes framelits, this will be the top layer. When I cut out all five butterflies, I used the top two for one card, the big middle butterfly for one card and the two smaller butterflies on the bottom for a third card. Lots of bang for your buck, by getting butterflies for three different cards. 🙂

Instructions

Run the Crushed Curry through the Big Shot using the Tufted embossing folder. Add dots to the intersections of the diamonds using the White Stampin’ Chalk Marker and set aside to dry.
Apply Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets to the back of the Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana scraps and run through the Big Shot using the Butterfly Beauty Thinlits Dies. If you cut out all five butterflies for each color you have enough butterflies to make three of these cards.
Adhere the Coastal Cabana butterflies to the top of the Bermuda Bay Butterflies and add Clear Rhinestones.
Adhere the two Tea Room DSP pieces to the sides of the 4-1/4” x 5-1/2″ Bermuda Bay Cardstock leaving about a 1/8″ border on all three sides.
Adhere the 3-1/4″ x 8″ Bermuda Bay Cardstock scored at 4″ to the front of the card between the two DSP pieces.
Stamp the butterfly from the Beauty Abounds stamp set on the Whisper White Cardstock and adhere on the inside of the Bermuda Bay folded piece.
Remove adhesive paper from the back of the butterflies and attach to the front of the Crushed Curry piece.
Don’t forget to stamp something cute on your envelope. We don’t want naked insides or naked envelopes. More joy will be had at the mailbox, when the recipient knows there’s something fun inside. 🙂
Assemble the card as shown in the picture. Email me with questions at Beth@StampingMom.com

My family has been skiing in Summit Co. Colorado this week. I actually taught Steve how to ski when we were in ninth grade. That first day of learning how to ski wasn’t pretty. You might find this hard to believe, but Steve used to have quite a temper. After he fell and threw his poles several times, I left him and skied with our friends, that actually knew how to ski. This motivated him and by the end of day one, Steve had mastered the bunny hill. I tell you this mainly because Steve can ski circles around me today, so I have to hearken back to when my skiing skills were superior to make myself feel better. 🙂

Steve and I taught all our kids to ski. Sean first skied in Colorado when he was three and four. He cried if we tried to leave him in the “ski nursery,” so instead he would ski behind me with his skis between mine and he would hold onto my legs. We made a pretty good team! Sean lives in Seattle and actually skis most weekends, so he is definitely a black diamond skier today.

We then had three more kids in five years and didn’t ski for several years. Not enough time, money or energy to take a family of six skiing. Ryan and Keegan didn’t learn until about four years ago, but Keegan is a daredevil! Unfortunately, late this afternoon the daredevil and a tree collided. Looks like the tree won and Keegan may be sporting a black eye tomorrow. Thankfully he’s OK.

I did some research during my years of raising boys and learned that the rational part of a boy’s brain isn’t fully developed until he is 25 years old or so. Ryan loves to ski as well, but since he’s 23 and has a close to fully formed brain, he is more careful and didn’t have any tree incidents. Keegan is 18, that might explain a few things…

Abby went to Seattle to a microbiology conference this week and had a wonderful time. Abby flew in the day Sean flew out. Abby actually doesn’t enjoy skiing so she wasn’t too sad to miss the week.

I have somehow bummed up my arm and was not able to ski at all. Now you know the real reason why I had to tell the story of be being a better skier than Steve back in the day. 🙂

Here’s my very handsome husband and the gorgeous mountains. Sean took this picture. If you read this all the way to the bottom, thank you! I love to hear your comments or questions.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
