Stampin Up Blended Seasons and Sunshine Sayings Friendship card designed by demo Beth McCullough. Please see more card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u

Tip- Whenever my card base is white or vanilla, I always use the Thick cardstock.  The Glitter Enamel Dots are so pretty and sparkly.  How nice of Stampin Up to make them in my favorite colors, except they forgot Bermuda Bay. 🙂

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 🙂

My husband, Steve, and I just celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary.  Here’s my favorite wedding picture.  We actually met and became best friends ten years before we got married, so I honestly don’t remember much of my life before Steve was part of it.
